Grant Writing Course

This is the most practical workshop I have ever attended. Beyond the fact that it was excellently organized, the content was new and unconventional. It was real, participatory and practical. The worksheets gave clear insights and actionable steps for my organization’s project. (Adeola , Past Participant)
