User Feedback:
I have taken 3 courses offered by Charity Village – Event Planning, Grantseeking, and Proposal Writing. In each course I found the content to be specific, and well-organized providing me with a solid, practical foundation in this subject matter. Having completed both, I would strongly recommend they be taken together.
The courses really come to life with great audio and visuals, plus quizzes along the way ensured I was absorbing the content. Navigation was easy and well explained and the objectives were stated clearly and tied to outcomes at the course’s completion. Thanks, Charity Village, for putting together a timely and topical resource that’s accessible according to my schedule, and cost-effective for my employer!

I decided to take the CharityVillage Campus Proposal Writing course for two primary reasons: I have limited experience in this area, and I recognize that these skills are becoming increasingly important in the work I do. The Proposal Writing course was helpful in that it provided a solid foundation of tangible skills that I could adapt to fit the needs of my organization. Prior to taking the course, the idea of writing a grant seemed overwhelming; I didn't know where to begin. This course's organized presentation of information allowed me to easily plan for several grant proposals. Since completion of the course, I have applied for three grants and have been awarded funding from all of them.
