Toledo Ohio Grant Writing Workshop Testimonials, June 2006
I was very impressed with the trainer’s “on the fly” responses to participant’s problem statements and her constructive feedback to help us learn and correct our mistakes. The workbook is invaluable, breaking down key components and offering numerous examples we can study for future reference. This will have a positive, lasting impact on my professional future! Thank you! David Blakeslee, Wedgwood Christian Services—Grand Rapids, Michigan
