My name is Sharon Jackson. I have been involved with grant writing in various capacities for many, many years, so I made it official and received my grant writing consultant certification April 2009.

I am a former school secretary (13 years) and church secretary (7 years). Now I have my own business as a grant writing consultant + desktop publishing/Administrative Office Assistant. If you are interested in my grant writing workshop "Grant Writing 101", which gives you the fundamentals (basics) of grant writing for your organization or business please contact me.

Greetings,

I'm an independent (external) program evaluator (www.eval.org), and over the past five years I managed the evaluation of a state grant that funded over one-hundred alternative education programs serving students in nearly 500 school districts in Ohio (http://cle.osu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2006year-endreport.pdf).

As a consultant, most of my grant writing has been as co-author with school personnel who requested technical assistance in grant writing as well as successfully implementing and/or evaluating their programming. I very much enjoy working collaboratively on such projects.

I'm always looking for new opportunities to collaborate with schools and/or school districts. I enjoy helping build local capacity, and I specialize in creating low-cost, sustainable, local evaluation systems that inform quality improvement and provide information useful for future grant writing.

If you are interested, check out the Website listed below or send me your name and email address via the form on my GrantWrangler page:

Hello! I am a semi-retired educator and have written and secured a few grants in my educational career. I write a blog at http://kcaise.wordpress.com discussing technology tools and issues centered around instructional technology. I have been an educator for the past 20 years and in 2006 became a national board certified teacher in CATE with a specialty in technology education. I look forward to talking, collaborating and learning online with everyone here!

I am thrilled that this forum has been created to bring like-minded people together for the common goal of improving the quality of our educational programs. I have been reading a lot of personal growth books this past summer and now firmly believe that we get everything in this world we consciously and subconsciously think about - and if I choose to think about abundance of resources and funding, I will find it, regardless of circumstances. My goal this year is to find $50K in funding to afford 1) robotics competition entries 2) mobile lab 3) field trips 4) connex shipping container to store recyclables 5) anything else that comes to mind :)

Hi,

What a great new site Karen!

Schools today face a myriad of challenges. The economy, lack of resources, and increasing needs of the students you serve can be dizzying. Finding the time and the right funders to submit grant proposals to is on everyone's to do list, but often stays at the bottom of the list with out getting done.

The mission of Grant Consulting Services is to affect positive change through the written word. We provide comprehensive grant development services to non-profit organizations around the world. Grant development services include program planning, funding research, and grant proposal writing.

Since the year 2000, Grant Consulting Services has assisted organizations in obtaining over $4.5 million in funding through expert grant research and written proposals. We offer extensive experience in proposal development for government, corporate and foundation funding sources.
