Dear Friends and Colleagues,
In March 2025 I enjoyed two onsite grant writing seminars for the Bakersfield Art Museum and the women’s group Mujeres de Maiz. Check out their excellent evaluations!
Remember, I’m always here to help non-profit organizations and individual artists identify their goals and develop effective strategies to achieve them.
Email me if you have questions or needs!
All my best, Linda
