The Fund Finder News
Kurt Bradley, Certified Grants Consultant
The battle had been intense. Flames and smoke boiled into the night sky, as fire consumed the 2-story house. The fire chief looked at the family, huddled in blankets, staring in shock and sadness as everything they owned burned. At least they'd gotten out safe, the chief thought. But the house... He grabbed his radio. "Everybody out. Keep it contained. It's a loss."
The house burned to the ground. On the way back to the station, the chief said to himself, "We're never responding to another call again."
I know what you're thinking: "No self-respecting member of the fire service would ever say anything like that!" You're right. Thing is, lately fire chiefs have been saying exactly that sort of thing about fire grants. And they're just as wrong about grants, as that hypothetical fire chief was about never responding to another call.

Clients Say...
"I attended your Grant Writing for Public Safety course at Delta College in Michigan and was thrilled with the course and content. This summer I applied for a private foundation grant (National Emergency Medicine Association) to fund the purchase of law enforcement specific tactical trauma medical kits for our department. I'm thrilled to report that last month we were awarded nearly $10,000 to purchase 35 of the kits. I credit the success of my first professional grant writing effort to what I learned in your course."
