Here's what people who've attended Nonprofit Works courses and workshops have said about them.

Grantseeking – Board Development – Planning

Grantseeking

"I like to attend as many grant workshops as I can to keep my skills sharp and stay up-to-date on new information. Your seminar was a great blend of clearly articulated information, fun, and new ideas and sources of which I wasn't aware. Keep up the good work. You provide a great service to nonprofits.
   Kylie, Capitol Theatre

We enjoyed the session very much. I heard nothing but great feedback about the course--your presentation style, your materials, the common-sense nature of what you talked about, etc. People felt it was a good investment. Thank you so much!
   Tracey M. - Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York

I learned more in two days than I learned in an entire semester course in college.
   S. Bradley - Family Restoration Project

I took Nonprofit Works basic grantsmanship course sponsored by Oswego County, New York. Paul Mastrodonato presented the nuts and bolts of grant writing with supportive handouts in a format that could be immediately implemented with success. Since the course, I have written six successful grants enabling several nonprofit organizations to exceed their goals and objectives for the year. I recommend Nonprofit Works to any organization wanting to improve their grant writing success.
   Russ Myer, Winona Forest Recreation Association

I truly appreciated the presenter's professionalism, knowledge and patience with the class. I understand the process now, and I have the tools to use in navigating grants!
   Patricia M. - Rochester, NY

"Your workshop was inspirational. Clear, concise and rooted in common sense - with a touch of human pyschology. Thank you."
   Stephen Schweitzer - Binghamton Neighborhood Assemblies Project

“I immediately put some of your suggestions into practice and feel confident that the skills I learned at your workshop will serve me well in my position.”
   Catherine S., Woodland Hills Montessori School

“I learned a lot of valuable information at your grant writing and grant research workshops and it certainly paid off! I just received information about the first grant I wrote. We got it!”
   Lesley K., Sojourner House for Women

“Exceptional! After taking the course, grantwriting seems a lot less intimidating.”
   Anne S. – Family Institute, University of Rochester

"I look forward to your next class. This was presented in a way conducive to learning and retaining info. This helped me see that grant writing involves much more than writing the proposal.”
   Patricia C., RochesterWorks!

I had limited experience in grant writing. After this class, I feel more comfortable and that many of the ‘secrets’ are out!
   Anne P. – Rural Opportunities, Inc.

“Nonprofit Works does a great job of presenting many topics in a short amount of time. I thought it was very informative and will take more courses in the future.”
   Carol P. – United Way

"Excellent course. Time saving tips and the toolboxes are very helpful. Paul (Mastrodonato) covers the topic better than any presenter that I've encountered. The Seven Step Development Process is worth the cost of the course by itself.”
   Clifford L. ARC of Monroe

“The Grantseeking Basics class was GREAT. I left the course feeling empowered and excited about the grant seeking process. Thank you!”
   Elicia B., New York State Parks and Recreation

“Great handouts and resource list!”
