I absolutely did get some interesting notes out of the course, but what I was really looking for was more in-depth coaching on the ways to get applications noticed and funded. This was much more focused on how to find grants and build relationships than how to write them. Nothing wrong with having this information, but it's not really what I needed.

I love this, thank you!!1

This course is great for individuals who have no basic knowledge of grant writing. May seem a bit too basic for those who have some sort of experience already. As the title suggests, it is for beginners. Thanks for the refresher!

It seems to be so far. Not sure yet about what to do when it's a totally brand new program and don't have a track record to use.
By Ellen Salisbury on 8/19/2020
I like that this course was straight to the point, valuable information. Was able to identify similar situations in other industries consistent with grant writing. Now to put it to practice!

Great course
By Yvonne Armstrong on 7/11/2020
There seemed to be a lot of good information but not enough resource documents. I will have to do this several times to make notes of all the information shared.
