What Makes the Guam and CNMI 6-Week Grant Training Unique?

#1: It Isn’t A Crash Course

Let’s face it. Most grant training in Guam and CNMI is a 3-day crash course due to off-island trainer schedules. While doing a crash course may seem great, learning a skill takes time.

And let’s be real. Three hours into that first day of the grant writing crash course, you are checked out. It’s a TON of information. By the third day, you are overwhelmed.

In our 6-week course, we only meet 2 hours per week and cover one topic per week. You have time to work on your Master Grant Template and have time to process what you are learning.

#2: You Will Walk Away With a Grant Strategy

We have a mission to help this region of the world get grant funding. We teach you how to write grants, but in this training you will also develop a Master Grant Application and walk away with 10 Best-Fit Grant Prospects.

This isn’t just an academic course. It’s a tangible training to set you up to write grants, and gives you a specific prospects to reach out to that your organization is eligible for.

#3: It is Customized for Guam & CNMI

Certain grants are more difficult to get for our region. Therefore, it is good to know how to look for these specific grant funding sources. Furthermore, you won’t operate in a silo any longer.

This training brings together nonprofits, government departments, and organizations to network, partner, and leverage resources. Holly has lived in Guam since 2011, worked inside nonprofits, and is a board member on numerous nonprofit organizations. She has 20 years of grant writing experience and understands what types of grants fund the region.

Think of this as your place to collaborate – not compete. The more we work together, the more funding comes in and we all win.

Because, Guam and CNMI, now is the time to Get Grant Funding
