Let’s Talk: Grants 101 with Choice Words, Ithaca
Choice Words Ithaca is a new grant writing and fundraising branch of Choice Words Hudson Valley that serves clients across New York State with a focus on Mid-Hudson Valley. They have over 13 years of experience in helping businesses, nonprofits, educational institutions, and municipalities identify and acquire grant funding. With the recent completion of our fall grant cycle, we felt there was an opportunity to provide our applicants with tools, tips, and resources for writing strong grant requests. Join us for this free 1-hour workshop to hone your skills for effective grant writing.
Amanda Heidel is the manager of Choice Words Ithaca. She helped direct the development of Choice Words Small and Emerging Nonprofit grants program, which she now manages. Her background in marketing dovetails with grant writing to create an innovative framework for guiding emerging nonprofits who often need diversified funding streams to get on their feet. She is also an artist, educator within the Cornell Small Farms Program, and founder of the community project, Mushroom Shed.
Steve Desmore founded Choice Words LLC in 2010 to answer a persistent and critical need for strategic communications services within the Hudson Valley Region of New York’s nonprofit community. Steve has worked and lived in the Hudson Valley for more than three decades, much of it spent as a community journalist. Steve always dreamed of extending the firm’s services to the Central New York region. When Choice Words Manager, Amanda Heidel, announced she was moving to Ithaca, it seemed like the perfect time to implement that dream.
