Reprogramming the City

Whether it’s repurposing a billboard to act as a humidity collection system for clean drinking water in Lima, Peru, or integrating Wi-Fi capabilities into

Grant Writing Made Easy

JUNE 30, 2022

I want to help you write successful grants because I know the work you do matters. And I know that a lot of the grant writing advice out there isn’t going to get you the results you want. Why?

But the reality is that it takes a lot more to write successful grants than just knowing where to look for them or having the writing skills to craft a compelling proposal.
