Our training opportunities are appropriate for school program managers and administrators, leaders of non-profit organizations, teachers, college professors, grant writers, and project managers.

Grant Writing

"Great workshop! Comfortable atmosphere and amount of information in one day. Veronica is a wonderful and knowledgeable speaker. Thank you!" --Stacy Lewis, Oroville

"I knew nothing about grant writing. After attending Veronica's workshop I left feeling like I had enough knowledge to attempt a grant." -- Mary Carmior, Reef-Sunset USD

"The organization and presentation of the seminar were top quality from start to finish. My first exposure to the grant writing process has given me the tools and confidence to write a grant." -- Wendy Lankford, Turlock Joint Elementary School District

"I feel like I can go back and write a proposal for my school on Monday. Thanks a million! $$" -- Kathleen Fitz-Slattery, Salinas Union High School District

"I wish our school had been aware of your service prior to our plan being written by individuals who never had contact with anyone at our site." -- Anonymous

Program Evaluation
