I completed three levels of accounting in college; however, accounting from a nonprofit organizational viewpoint has been helpful."

This course's content will help us understand the reasoning behind the strategy we develop and be able to work more productively with the marketing firm we decide to go with.

Duane B.

"The Introducing to Grant Writing class is full of really good tips. It was a fun class to take, and I highly recommend it for anyone wanting to learn how to write grants. It builds a solid foundation as it works through the grant writing steps along the way. The activities are fun and the case studies are interesting. Although they are made-up scenarios, they deal with pertinent real-world issues."

Joanie J.

"The course was very thorough and clearly presented. It was nice to have some ways to review the material, like the flashcards and question/answer game. It was also helpful to have a couple of questions at the end of each section to help in reviewing the material. The case studies at the end were wonderful - they provided some real-life, interactive practice in grant proposal writing and things that go hand in hand with grant proposal writing."
