- What Our Students Said About This Seminar!
- “A to Z was a great introduction to the world of grants. I can’t wait to go back with my team and start implementing the system and get organized with the process. Great experience!”
- "Linda’s concept of ‘drawing the strands’ is really going to help us as we work our grantwriting team. We have all the pieces to be much more successful, but we lacked the discipline. The tools provided will give us the team and discipline to help us stay focused and moving forward.”
- “It was extremely helpful to have sample letters included in the manual. I also enjoyed the hands-on experience. Linda has a way of making everyone feel included by giving everyone an opportunity to share their thoughts and concerns.”
- "It was good to gain an understanding of what funders are seeking; how do we paint our work in a way that funders will want to fund us; and coming to the realization that it is the job of funders to fund non-profits. The non-profit must prepare in advance to “prove” they are worthy of managing gifts. Muchas Gracias.”
- “I like that all aspects of the A to Z Grantwriting System fit together as an integrated whole. The course will help me with the anxiety around this process. Thank you for your individualized attention. It was very helpful.”
- "The seminar gave me the understanding to see where we need to start in order to be successful. Overall, the seminar was excellent.”
- "It was very useful to learn how we can utilize all the element we already have in place for grantwriting and create a more efficient system in writing proposals. It was also very useful to learn the details of grantwriting, especially the budgetary aspect.”
