Spark the Fire Grant Writing Classes 2896 Live Oak Rd, Cuero, TX 77954

"Allison is truly amazing! I had no prior experience to grant writing before I started the class. The course moved so smoothly, everything was well organized and I enjoyed our weekly discussions. Allison is a powerhouse and deserves all the recognition possible as she is so knowledgeable. I have taken many courses for professional development and they all are either complicated, unorganized or I end up feeling like I didn't learn anything. Allison has done an amazing job of taking all her industry knowledge and professional experience and creative a seamless course that is made for everyone. I never felt lost and all of the content is relevant, timely and digestible. Allison provided great feedback that pushed my writing and I am so grateful for her. I highly recommend this course and all her other courses to everyone, you will not be disappointed!"

"I thoroughly enjoyed learning with Professor Allison Jones. I needed a structured environment to practice my grant writing skills. What I gained from the class were new insights into grant writing and a well-informed and supportive instructor. Allison took the time to provide tailored feedback on all classwork, which immensely helped me. I strongly recommend this course to anyone new to grant writing or looking for a fresh way to brush up on their skills. You will not regret working with Allison or investing in yourself."

"Allison is great, very attentive and gives great feedback!"

"This was an excellent course on the foundational skills for grantwriting. This course demonstrated exceptional depth, detailing elements such as creating needs statements, gathering research, developing budgets, identifying performance measures, and message-matching. Allison Shirk is very knowledgeable about the content, quick to reply, and promotes an interactive environment that lets students learn from the others enrolled in the course. The flexibility of the course is perhaps the greatest reason I would recommend this. Any non profit employee is constantly balancing a number of priorities and the ability to put the course on hold at any time makes this an incredible resource for program staff who are interested in developing their grantwriting skills."

"These classes are the best. They exceeded my expectations. I learned so much and now I am very confident entering into the grant-writing business. Allison is a wonderful instructor who is very responsive, helpful and gives a lot of thoughtful, critical feedback. I really enjoyed the classes and I highly recommend them to anyone wanting to learn about grant-writing."
