Here's What Our Graduates Say...


Tammy Woodhams “With the training I got from The Grantsmanship Center, my ability to develop a quality funding proposal has improved tenfold! The second federal grant proposal I submitted after completing the workshop resulted in $750,000 for our drug court program. We’ve also set up a number of other cutting-edge programs that are benefiting from what I learned in your workshop. Anyone who is serious about improving their grantseeking, writing and planning skills should definitely consider this training.”
Tammy Woodhams, Executive Director
Kalamazoo Criminal Justice Council
Kalamazoo, MI

“I have taken many, many courses over the years- in colleges, graduate and professional schools, and continuing education programs- but The Grantsmanship Center’s training was the best week I ever spent in a classroom.”
Karen Porter, Associate Director
Insurance Institute of America
Malvern, PA

“We just found out today that we landed a federal TRIO grant to the tune of $220,000. With this under our belts— and armed as we are now with what we learned from you— we feel as ready as possible to win even more grants!”
Brien Lewis, Dean of University College
Winthrop University
Rock Hill, SC

Cesar Cardona "After I took the Grantsmanship Training Program we were able to win major funding, including a $500,000 grant from HRSA. Those five days truly changed my life— and the life of my organization!”
Cesar Cardona, Administrative Director
Texas Tech University Health Science Center
El Paso, TX


“Yesterday we were notified that we will be receiving $45,000 from the Vidhana Trust—the full amount requested—for Phase 2 of our renovation project. This is a huge shot in the arm for us and will open many important doors. Without a doubt, Grantsmanship Center training is what gave me the ability to approach this project successfully.”
Thomas Iannucci, President
Breath of Life Christian Ministries
Lihue, HI

“You have my eternal gratitude! We just heard that we were approved for a $250,000 Resident Opportunity Self-Sufficiency (ROSS) grant from HUD. This was the first time I was able to use my Grantsmanship Center-acquired skills in putting together a ROSS proposal—one of the most difficult grants to get.”
Charlotte Murphy, Grants and Contracts Manager
Housing Authority of Paducah
Paducah, KY

Roberta Lehman “When we needed help finding the funds to build a new facility, I decided to take your training. Now through a combination of government, corporate and foundation grants ranging from $2,000 to $100,000, plus a capital campaign drive, we were able to raise nearly $500,000 for the project. Today our dream is a reality! Thank you for all your help.”
Roberta Lehman, Director
Agape Respite Care
Berne, IN

“The Alumni Membership website is terrific! It saves me a lot of time in searching for funding— just one of the ways that The Grantsmanship Center has really changed the way I do my job. Your whole program puts people in the right frame of mind for winning grants. I’d recommend it to anyone.”
Mary Ann Drury, Coordinator
New Britain Weed & Seed

“Your Membership services are extremely effective. I really like the grant listings— especially the way I can get information that is tailor-made to my needs.”
Michelle McDonald, Community Affairs Coordinator
Board of Police Commissioners

Leaf Schumann “The Grantsmanship Center is definitely the gold standard. The very first proposal I wrote after attending your Grantsmanship Training Program received the highest score in the state and resulted in $600,000 in funding! There's no question that this was a result of what I learned in your workshop. I've been to other seminars in grants, but they pale in comparison to yours.”
Leaf Schumann, Director
Blaine Family Service Center
Blaine, WA

“I had never written a proposal before, but after your training I was able to secure more than $800,000 in grants for our school!”
Susan Mendelsohn, Librarian/Teacher
Flandreau Indian School
Flandreau, SD

“Within six weeks of taking the Grantsmanship Training Program, I applied for two highly competitive grants from the state— $341,180 for technology and $1 million for school renovation. Out of 128 applications only 24 grants were awarded— and both of our proposals were funded!”
Linda Staylor, Director of Grants and Staff Development
Nottoway County Public Schools
Nottoway, VA

Sister June Wilkerson “The proposal I wrote in class was funded for $10,000, and that same year we got three more grants, all of which I credit to what I learned during the workshop. Then, using the program planning skills I learned from The Grantsmanship Center, we established a tattoo removal clinic to help young people who were trying to turn their lives around. My trainer gave me terrific feedback on this project and—more importantly— the confidence I needed to go out and seek major funding. We received $237,000 from the California Endowment plus substantial grants from other big foundations and corporations, both local and national. Thanks to The Grantsmanship Center and the phenomenal follow-up you provide, we’ve been able to make a real difference in people’s lives.”
Sister June Wilkerson, Program Director
Providence Holy Cross Medical Center
Mission Hills, CA

“Many thanks for your help, not only in the workshop but later with the proposal review. We received the grant—in fact we ended up applying for two different ones and we got both of them.”
Joyce Kaczorowski, Coordinator
Winona County Restorative Justice Program
Winona, MN

“We were awarded a $150,000 grant I applied for right after your training program. I also wrote a proposal to HUD, was given first place, and the grant will be for $1,251,380. I appreciate everything you have done for us.”
Greg Ball, President/CEO
Neighborhood Development Corp.
Orange, TX

Russ Davis “When I came to the Grantsmanship Training Program, I had no more than a few ideas and a bunch of notes for a community technology proposal that we wanted to submit to the U.S. Department of Education— a highly competitive program with a fast-approaching deadline. I came back with a solid, 40-page proposal that I actually wrote in the class with the help of my team. It resulted in a grant of $118,000, and I know that never would have happened without the specific guidance I received from my trainer and the honest feedback I got from the other participants. I truly can't thank you enough!”
Russ Davis, Grants Specialist
Oneida County Workforce Development
Utica, NY

“I use your grants databases often. The summary information is perfect—I can just print it out and show it to my colleagues. It has everything we need, including deadlines, so we can decide what to pursue.”
Regina Hall, Grant Manager
Washington State Cooperative Extension
Davenport, WA

“The online databases that came with my Alumni Membership are awesome! In less than five minutes, I found nine funding sources specific to my geographic area, and more than half of those are a perfect fit for our program. I thought I knew all the likely sources in this community, but this was a wonderful surprise.”
Tamijo Reuther-Affor, Training Director
Montana Contractors Assn.
Helena, MT

Jill Azaria “There are other classes in proposal writing, but when people ask me which one to take, I always recommend The Grantsmanship Center’s. One reason it’s the best is that you get to write a real proposal and have it critiqued. That makes all the difference between ‘learning about grants’ and actually getting the grant!”
Jill Azaria, Grant Specialist
Dallas Public Library
Dallas, TX

“I really appreciate your feedback and follow-up help. Since the workshop in Albuquerque, I’ve submitted five proposals, all of which were approved for the full amount requested. Your comments on our IHS Tribal Management application were excellent and each was incorporated into our revised proposal, which was funded for the full amount of $99,000. Many thanks!”
Tim Campbell, Cultural Resources Officer
Graton Rancheria
Novata, California

“I often refer to Grantsmanship Center training as ‘blue chip’ grantsmanship training. It helped me to secure over $2.2 million in local, state and federal funding for my agency last year.”
