Dear Colleagues,
The GrantProse vision is to provide high quality, personalized services and resources that are reasonably priced and widely accessible. Toward this end, we provide this newsletter free and hope you will forward it to your colleagues.
We continue to add new features to our website to better serve the grants community. Our Grant Alerts are now in
downloadable .pdf format, refreshed twice a
month with new funding opportunities. We also recognize a growing number of GrantProse clients who have received grant awards.
As always, thank you for your appreciation of our work.

GrantProse president Dr. Bill
Carruthers travels to western North Carolina on 9/20 to speak to the Western Region Education Service Alliance about writing successful grant proposals. WRESA, located in
Asheville, works
to improve the educational and instructional experiences of students and staff
in schools across 19 mountain counties, focusing on research-based and
technical innovations. WRESA has established a grant collaborative, which meets
three times annually and invites grant funders and experienced grant writers to
serve as guest presenters. Contact Bob Byrd, School Improvement Coordinator for WRESA, or Lori Brown,
Grant Writer for Buncombe County Schools,
if you have questions about WRESA or would like to serve as a guest presenter. Kudos
to Lori for creating and maintaining a grants resource website for Buncombe County
Schools that offers a wealth of resources on grants and grant writing.
Do
you use Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn? If so, you have three ways to
connect and share grant-related information with members of the Grants
Information Network of North Carolina (GIN-NC). To find and join GIN-NC on

Compass' expertise extends to several areas, including education; professional development; health, community and safety; and evaluation capacity building.
