“The time and money were well spent”

I took your grant writing class when it was offered close to home, although I questioned whether it was worth the time or the money, since I was already familiar with grant writing. I have written successful grant applications for some New York State economic development grants, and since I have been involved with the fire service for the last 4 years, 2 of my 3 AFG grant applications have been successful. My record is pretty good. What could I learn?

There were 14 people in the class, and several of them were actually taking the course for the second or third time because they thought there was still more to learn.

By the end of the second day, I agreed with them: the time and money were well spent. I definitely learned more about grant writing, and expect to be more successful as a result of it.
