Back by popular demand is “Basic Grant Writing” with Jeani Navarro, who has over 30 years of grant writing experience. The course will be held in Waikoloa and will teach participants about the grant writing process, how to write a compelling statement of need, and what funders look for in proposals.
Navarro also offers two new workshops. “Fundraising for Nonprofits” will teach students how to identify and pursue alternative sources of funding. “Board Development for Nonprofits” will focus on creating a highly effective board of directors.
Former Kona Community School for Adults instructor Mark Boucher will teach a series of computer classes, including “Intro to PowerPoint,” “Basic Computers,” “Intro to Word” and “Intro to Excel.” Classes will be held at Kanu o ka ‘Aina Learning ‘Ohana in Waimea on Wednesdays and Fridays, 6-8 p.m. starting in February for three weeks.
