I have been a member of the Southeast Texas Nonprofit Development Center (Center) since 2008.  At that time, I had been the Executive Director of Stable-Spirit for a year, and was needing to learn about running a nonprofit and writing grants.  I attended just about every workshop that the Center held, so that I could run Stable-Spirit as effectively as possible, as well as within all the proper guidelines and rules.  I have said for many years, and continue to say today, that Stable-Spirit is as successful as it is today, because of all the support and learning that I received from the Center. I have become very confident in my grant writing skills, because of all that I have learned from the grant writing workshops through the Center.  I always encourage every nonprofit organization to join the Center, because of all the benefits that will be obtained from their workshops and excellent leadership.

The Southeast Texas Nonprofit Development Center provides great training at an affordable price for nonprofit organizations. The recent conference drew nonprofits from all over Southeast Texas for valuable training. Keep up the good work!

I make it a point to read every email and newsletter from the Southeast Texas Nonprofit Development Center and attend as many training opportunities as possible because in doing so, I consistently connect to people and resources that strengthen my organization’s programming. Earlier this year I applied for a grant featured in one of The Center’s newsletters - and because of that, we received $10,000 in unexpected funding. Without the Southeast Texas Nonprofit Development Center, I would have missed this critical opportunity! The Center understands how vital SETX nonprofit organizations are to our communities and works tirelessly to support us and advocate on our behalf. Southeast Texas Nonprofit Development Center is truly invaluable - to me and to our entire region.
