What nonprofits learners say about these trainings....
"I truly enjoyed taking this course and now understanding the process of Grant Writing can appreciate the magnitude of
researching required to obtain grants. The roadmap and transcripts were very helpful and having a facilitator guide me through
the process was much easier than trying to do it on my own in a hit and miss way. I look forward to taking other courses to
expand my knowledge of Grant Writing. A HUGE Thank You to Dalya Massachi for one of the best online training experiences I
have ever had." - Grant-Writing 203 evaluation
