Grant Writing Basics
An Online Workshop with Colleen
Thank you!
The workshop was well-crafted and structured. It is clear that Colleen comes from years of experience. Not only did she thoroughly breakdown the process of writing a grant (including tips and how to approach each section), but she offered personal examples throughout from her many successful projects.
