That about sums it up! I have questions about grant writing or most likely need the services of a grant writing genius. |

Well, in my former life I was. While I worked on the giving end, not the receiving end...education grants at the state and federal level, I might be able to give you some advice on writing a grant since I read so...so...so many BAD ones!

I do the editing, formatting, & submission for all of our group's grants at work. I don't do much writing of them though, I just make sure we follow the rules and get it in on time. |

My Father does grant work for the Dep't of Education, specifically, writing, editing and proofreading...He's been doing writing and editing work for them for 43 years. PM me with your specific questions and I know he'd be very happy to help you! He's a very helpful guy.

I read grants for USDOE a few times! Transition to Teaching once and charter schools twice. Once I got to go to DC to do it...it was supposed to be a really fun opportunity.....hang out in DC, meet interesting people, do a little work......somehow it didn't work out quite like that....my recollection was cramming hundreds of pages every night well past midnight...ordering room service for every meal. Hmm. Now they do it electronically whcih has its pros and cons too. I wonder if I met your dad? |

I don't know if you would have met my dad - his name is Frank and resembles an older, greyer Mario (a la Mario Bros ). He's the nicest guy in the world - no really, even the CVS guy thinks so ("You're Dad's a really nice guy"..."Huh?"..."Your Dad, I recognize the address. He comes in and gets prescriptions for you and your Mom, and he's always really nice!".."Oh! Um, thanks!").But I digress. He's been in a new office for a few years now, but for about a million before that he was in the Switzer Building on C Street SW. I still call the old number occassionally, forgetting that it's changed, and get the poor girl who inherited it... Before he was doing the grant thing he was the editor of American Rehabilitation, but budget cuts cancelled the magazine in '05 or '06... |
