What Attendees Said about This Nonprofit Webinar:

“A few years ago, I attended a state agency's grant writing workshop. The takeaway was "please give us more stories" which surprised me. From then on I vowed to work in stories so that my government grants at least caught the eyes and memories of reviewers. The takeaway from this excellent webinar was that the whole application is a story and to make sure you are clear and consistent in that story-telling. I learned that there were many forms and levels of stories giving me many more options. Thank you”

Heidi Shaffer, Coleman Professional Services

“I have been granting writing for over 25 years, but never really thought about including an actual story in my grants. This webinar helped me see the value of storytelling in grants and gave me a step by step guide on how to do it. Highly recommend it.”  

Traci Goff, Central Washington University

"The presenter was clear, concise and used great examples to help the audience utilize the tools being mentioned."

Cassidy Neely, The Adoption Exchange
