Looking toward the future and you can help!

This spring, GRLIC gives out a technology award to a local graduating senior and you can help us! We are in our annual cycle of fundraising for this event. We need $550 dollars to give out this award this year. Help us by making a donation today! Just click on the donate button in the upper right hand corner of this page! Thank you.

Funding for Local Video Project comes from O'Connor and you can be part of it too!

GRLIC, the Greater Roxbury Learning Initiative Corporation, a not-for-profit foundation that operates in the public interest to encourage a prosperous, sustainable future through education and experience in engineering, science, technology and innovation has been awarded a $5000 O’Connor Grant to bring hands-on video production to the students of the Greater Roxbury area.

The grant will cover the costs of purchasing editing software and a small HD video camera that will be accessible to the students involved in GRLIC programs. The grant also covers the costs of a Mentorship program, to be conducted by Jessica Vecchione of Vecc Videography, Hamden NY.

The Mentorship program will allow a small group of students to plan, shoot, and edit a five to seven minute video project. The subject of the video will pertain to news media in Delaware County.

The video created in this mentorship program will be distributed on social media and through the news outlets featured in the video. The community will be able to access and view the end result and see the students’ work. Video links will be forwarded to local government officials and other community members for viewing.

Video production is a growing field where young people will need good preparation to compete effectively for college and later for media careers. This O’Connor Grant will help Roxbury students get the experience they need.

This grant is a matching funds grant and additional donations to continue this program are greatly appreciated. Please send additional donations to GRLIC, PO Box 263, Roxbury, NY 12474.

Meet Kevin Hodne, the workshop facilitator:

I have written over $7 million in grants in the areas of education (K-12 and college), agriculture, and economic and community development. My goal in this workshop is to draw on my twenty years of experience in grant development to provide students with the knowledge and skills to write successful grant proposals.  Grant opportunities are available, but you face tough competition. To win a grant your proposal must be compelling and well-crafted.  I enjoy teaching this workshop series and have been happy to see that former students have learned new skills and won grants. For more information, call me at 607-434-8254 or send me an email at hodnekevin@yahoo.com.

Feedback on Kevin Hodne’s Writing Successful Grant Proposals Workshop…

Kevin Hodne's workshop, Writing Successful Grant Proposals, allowed me to get my brain around the concepts and process of putting together a successful grant proposal. Kevin has the experience and an infectious enthusiasm which he brings to teaching this class.

                                                                                    Linda Jafee

                                                                       

The workshop that I've just completed with you—Writing Successful Grant Proposals—was exactly what I had hoped for.  It was "clear, concise and compelling" which were the three elements you pointed out in the terrific materials you provided to the class.  When ready, I'll be back for you to review my grant proposal.  Thank you.

                                                                                    Diane Nixon

                                                                       

I attended Kevin Hodne's Writing Successful Grant Proposals Class in January 2008.  I had never written a grant proposal before.  I appreciated the time he spent going over my particular proposal and the suggestions he made to improve my chances of getting this proposal accepted.  The class interaction was very special, too.  He professionally facilitated the interchange of ideas and has great teaching techniques.  I would recommend this class to any grant seekers.

Kevin Hodne reveals grantwriting to be a masterable and navigable art, not the futile and intimidating undertaking it is generally perceived to be. Grants are there to be given and we can earn them. Kevin Hodne transforms one's thinking, and thereby increases one's chances of success.

                                                                                    Sam Goodyear

                                   

The grant workshop was very organized and well planned. It was very helpful to see your documentation on grants—seeing these helped me know the many processes in writing a successful proposal.

                                                                                    Joe Salamida

I was happy to see that you specifically addressed the projects of the participants and that you gave us the opportunity to present our work. Your critique of our projects was invaluable.

                                                                                    Allicia Rice

The grant workshop helped me understand how to organize all the components in writing grant proposals. By taking it step-by-step I was able to better understand the process and I now feel confident in our endeavors.

                                                                                    Susan Roche

Kevin is very passionate about this program—he keeps you interested in the material and has a great knowledge base. The materials provided were helpful and appreciated. Thank you for sharing your experience.

                                                                                    Mary Beth Dowling

The grant workshop provided tons of practical information on developing grantwriting teams, and in organizing and coordinating the work. Real life examples of successful grants were terrific!

                                                                                    Deni Finch-Frederick

Thank you ever so much for personalizing the grantwriting class by pointing out library and fire department grants. The notebook was a great reference which we will use in our continued efforts to secure grants. A great hands-on workshop.

                                                                                    Barb Price

I rate the class as excellent. The materials were well-covered.

                                                                                    Ray Doucette

The grant workshop has been a great experience. I really enjoyed the class and hope I can help my husband with his grants. I was also hoping to find grants for my son’s marching band to get new uniforms. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge with us.
