The purpose of our training is to equip nonprofit organizations, government agencies and schools with the tools to achieve and maintain fiscal stability in order to carry out their mission in service to the community. We teach participants to use grants as a way to launch a program and then secure long-term funding to insure program continuance after the grant money is gone. This long-term funding plan, Circle of Resource Entanglements or C.O.R.E., diversifies resources and reduces grant dependency. The C.O.R.E. can also be used to increase unrestricted funds.
