Comments from Past Participants

“I was very impressed both with our instructor and with my fellow attendees. All too often, workshops lack focus or simply don't provide the meaningful knowledge that I am seeking. Neither of these was the case for this workshop. If this was characteristic of all TACS workshops, my only suggestion would be to keep it up.”

“So excited to start applying for some grants! This was the BEST class I've taken at TACS to date! So much information that is valuable...very helpful to us as a brand new nonprofit! Our board is scheduled to develop a strategic plan...I'm looking forward to the follow-up class.”

“Rick was antastic at giving relevant information and always eager to hear feedback and questions from us. I really enjoyed the workshop as well as got a lot out of it. It motivated and inspired me to seek out grants.”
