“The grant writing course was informative, practical, and incredibly valuable. Mrs. Vannessa’s expertise and step-by-step teaching gave us the confidence and knowledge to write and submit a federal grant ourselves. Unlike other courses that simply tell you what to do, this course truly shows you how to do it.”

TESTIMONIALS
What others are saying
I thoroughly enjoyed the grant writing course! Mrs. Vannessa is knowledgeable because she's been there and done that SUCCESSFULLY, SEVERAL times.
Sessions were informative and practical, and by the end of the course, we left with everything we needed to know about writing and submitting a federal grant. And not only do we now know all we need to know, but we also left class having written a grant ourselves! That's what makes this course so unique.
Other grant writing courses TELL participants what to do. This course SHOWS and TEACHES participants, step by step, how to do it.

I took the Master Grant Writing Class with no grant writing experience. It was a good intensive. I was pushed to learn more about my organization, and to learn it to the point of being able to articulate the points of it to others.
Vannessa covered every facet of applying for a Federal grant. My favorite part, and what makes this class worth every penny, is the fact that when we finished the class we each had an actual completed grant template unique to our specific organizations.
Thank you, Vannessa, for making this class fun and resource-packed!
