“This was a really informative, educational course. Allison took the time to give really thorough feedback and even set up a meeting with me to give me guidance on making my proposal more cohesive. I have already been applying what I learned and feel so much more confident with the proposals I am submitting. I highly recommend this course!”

Course Content and Tips: A+
“The one-on-one feedback is so helpful. I was able to address my questions with valuable input from my instructor. The course covered every angle that we should be thinking about that a grantmaker might ask for. And-- tips for how to appeal to them. Our instructor had me dig deep within to really write in a way that is persuasive and concise.”

“Excellent Course! I have been searching for a course like this for years! After learning a few of the skills and lessons presented here "on the job," it was so great to have this course to confirm some things I already knew, but also to learn about aspects I had not yet dealt with or considered. Having all the info about the business of freelancing so organized and all in one place, with checklists, materials I can use, and feedback from the instructor was invaluable! I also enjoyed connecting with other grant writers during the cohort portion. I cannot say enough good things about this course!.”

“I started this course as a nonprofit employee who had picked up grant management as a small component of my day-to-day work. Over the last year, grant writing has become my primary job. This course was my first actual training in this field and it has been invaluable, as has Allison's detailed, patient, and inquisitive feedback. I so appreciated the opportunity to learn at my own pace and ask questions along the way, and I'll be revisiting my coursework regularly as I continue to grow my career as a grant writer.”

“Allison provided so many wonderful aspects to this class. These included video classes, mentoring, peer reviews, and an abundance of resources to write a highly organized, well-written grant in a persuasive manner. Starting as a novice, I had taken another grant writing class over the summer, but I did not feel prepared. I was offered the opportunity to take Allison's class which was fantastic to enhance my skills and participate in new learning. I feel ready to write another grant! I highly recommend this class.”
