Five-star reviews for "The Quick-Start Guide to the One-Page Grant Proposal" course:

Maryn Boess

Chief Magic-Maker

Over her 20+-year career in the nonprofit world, Maryn has been an on-staff program developer and grantwriter; a independent grants consultant (winning more than $42 million for her clients over 10 years); a grants project manager; a grants trainer; a grants reviewer, author, speaker, mentor and coach; and - for the past 10 years - even a grantmaker.

This done-it-all background gives her the unique 3-D "insider's" perspective she brings to the practical and inspiring trainings on healthy, successful grantsmanship that she has been blessed to share with thousands of nonprofits of every size, nationally and internationally as well.

GrantsMagic U, launched in fall 2015, is the "virtual academy" she created to make her extensive portfolio of grantsmanship trainings available (and affordable!) for anyone, anytime, anywhere.

GrantsMagic U is an Approved Continuing Education Provider for both the Grant Professionals Certification (GPC) and Certified Fund-Raising Executive (CFRE) credentials.

Since 2006 Maryn has also been “in the grantmaker’s chair,” managing up to $2 million annually in grantmaking for K-12 education in the Southwest.

She considers herself a dual citizen in the grants world, and may be the only person currently holding membership in both GPA (Grant Professionals Association, for grantseekers) and GEO (Grantmakers for Effective Organizations, for grantmakers).

Every hour of GrantsMagic U training qualifies as 1 credit toward CFRE and GPC continuing-education and certification requirements.

The One-Pager is a WOW winner!

by Patricia Bryte

As a former instructor of prof dev, educational sales, and writer, I am absolutely thrilled to find Maryn's generous, colorful, engaging, relevant, clever, imaginative programs! First, her manner is lively and personable. No wasted motion or words! Yet, lively and thorough. She's polished in a way that glitters as her Magic Want stars -- so her personal image is consistent with the website. The use of images such as hands (with 5 fingers in research section), frames and other easily-grasped metaphors helps the material to sink in. The copy on slides and video screen is tight (no waste) yet leaves lots of white space so we don't get overwhelmed. So ... the pace and pictures and passion for the subject leaves me actually looking forward instead of feeling overwhelmed. The 1-pager is a WoW winner in that you have a versatile tool for focusing, clarifying, sharing and mastering a skill that Maryn must've taken hours to master. I wanted a worksheet for clarifying steps to help a nonprofit that needs funding. I must've used good search terms :) for up popped Maryn's 1 page. In an era of techie overwhelm, GrantsMagic delivers--magically!

Loved it!

by Tracy Zuluaga

I know - who loves the ''grants" process? - Well, it has to be done so we better love it or have someone on your team who does. I really appreciate finding Maryn and GrantsMagic U - every day you learn something new is a good day! Grants are like auditioning or going on an interview - you are not going to get them all but you can learn from them and get better! Thank you Maryn for sharing your experience and expertise and delivering in an easy-to-understand way - even for that "novice" and "do-it-all-director" that I am!

Anxious to Implement

by Shelli Panebaker

Thank you Maryn. I absolutely love the one page proposal worksheet. I'm anxious to use this tool with an onsite task force to help with the mind-mapping and to address all ten questions on your one-page grant proposal worksheet. With video 3, I discovered I was on the right track. I found that your approach was very similar to what I was doing. I have been concerned that I have been taking too much time doing research. Now, I feel justified in my efforts especially being fairly new to this position. I hope my eventual results using your tool will be brag-worthy!

Fantastic Information

by Valerie Hooks

This is grants gold! Simplifies the process so you don't get overwhelmed and bogged down. Listen to this and then listen again. I wrote a lot of notes and will probably review again soon.

Wow! Awesome Sauce

by Mika Timmons

What a dynamic, energetic, and positive presentation! I'm so excited about using all of Maryn's worksheets, tips, and strategies! I have been skeptical about what a webinar could do, but this course made me feel 100% engaged like I was in a classroom, sitting right in front of Maryn. So good!

Smart, accurate; succinctly appropriate

by Lana Henry

I really appreciated Maryn's care for detail. She is compassionate for the beginner who does not understand technical language, but kindly reminds the experienced grant-writer of necessary steps for an A+ Winning Proposal. Many insider tips are shared along with diagrams, pictures and power-point presentations which aid the student in grasping new concepts or retaining the information past the lesson presentation. Maryn uses various methods to help the student not only retain the information, but also review and think through applications which aid the student to incorporate the new terminology and concepts into practice. I really enjoyed this course, even though all the material is now covered in a newer version which uses more advanced technology and is much better for the audio and visual senses.

WOW! What a great idea

by Beth Ann Johnson

The Magic Wand--I am over the moon with joy to have this tool. I write grants for four programs where I work, each distictly different. I am so excited to start putting together the one pager for each one!

Great!
