Greetings!

As many of you are aware, grant-writing is an essential skill for people who work for nonprofits and small business development.  And there is a large demand here on the Coast for good grant-writers.

If you work for a nonprofit or want to help local organizations obtain the funding vital to their operation, this is your chance to attend a comprehensive course where you will learn how to write compelling grants, and possibly earn a good part-time income doing so.

(Feel free to pass this information along to others you know who might be looking for a way to serve their community AND generate more income.)
