GRANT WRITING SEMINAR - Page 1

What if you could get grant writing training that… Showed you winning examples of actual grant applications that have been awarded funding? Was led by an expert who isn't just a grant writer, but also a former public safety grant administrator? You didn't have to pay for until the day of the training? Would that be the grant-writing training that you have always wanted, but never gotten? If it is, then you now have the chance to get the training that can help you write winning grant applications and receive the thousands of dollars in grant funding that your department so desperately needs. Tri State K9 Services invite you to a 2-day grant-writing class, to be held Sept 3rd and 4th, 2009, at 600 Roosevelt Blvd, Elenor, WV 25070.

Grant Writing Classes Writing a grant is not hard provided you have the proper skills. With budgets shrinking and job requirements on the rise, more than ever you are being asked to do more with less. Agencies are going to look to grants in this coming year more than ever before. With more agencies competing for grants you will need every advantage to get yours funded. Let Xenonics help you obtain those skills by attending a grant writing class. We have developed a grant-writing course that is specifically for public safety agencies. Even if you have attended other classes and felt like they were not directed toward your needs then this class is for you. Margaret Stark, our expert public safety grant consultant will lead your Xenonics Grant Class. Margaret is certified by the National Grant Writers Association as a senior grant writer, grant consultant, grant reviewer, and grant administrator. Margaret is a former grants administrator for a public safety agency. She knows, from her own experience, the threats and difficulties departments deal with every day. She understands the challenges all departments and agencies face in trying to make ever-shrinking budgets meet ever-growing needs. Margaret Stark served for four years as a grant writer/administrator for the Pulaski PD, Virginia.

That's something I would be very interested in attending. I plan to pass the info on o our local law enforcement agencies as well. Our poor podunk little community can barely afford to run two antiquated Crown Vics at the same time. No way they can be effective in bad wether. Snow/ice can drop response time to days instead if minutes because the township doesn't have an SUV. I guess the cops could commandeer a the snow plow, but it doesn't run all that well a lot of the time either, For what we pay in property, school and misc other taxes here the cops should be driving Hummers and the kids should all be able to read & write. Grant $ would go along way with our $12/hr cops. SS
