Just a “kudos” for Marti! I have listened to 20+ webinars on grant writing, etc. over the past month as I am new at the grant writing/acquisition part of nonprofits.  (I am  20+ year nonprofit CPA/CFO/Director/Controller).  Of all the sessions I have watched/listened to, the “Mastering the Art of Grant Writing” by Marti Hess (offered by NP Solutions) has been my #1-rated session.  Marti is clear, concise, experienced, and give her students the tools they need to succeed.  Thank you for having her present for NP Solutions.  -Rosemary Bognar, California Creativity Association, April 2021
