Our Strategy Works

“In terms of building the capacity of emerging and established EJ organizations to more quickly and effectively raise funds to support their efforts, Writing for Green is the most practical and relevant training and coaching program in the country. The organization’s services are targeted, fun, and engaging, and they are led by some of the most proven and results-driven individuals in the industry.”

“Writing for Green has created a comprehensive, grounded, and impactful training for both new and established organizations fighting for environmental justice. The founders, Aaron and Courtenay, are among the country’s most effective independent grant writers and are acutely aware of the challenges facing under-resourced EJ organizations. They have been instrumental in helping Deep South win millions of dollars in federal and foundation grant funding in just a few months, and in improving our capacity to win future grants. There is no one I trust more in this field.”

“Writing for Green is an excellent choice for training and coaching in the grant writing sector. Courtenay has been a critical asset in expanding our capacity to apply for government and foundation grants. The Writing for Green team is easy to work with and brings to the table a high level of subject matter expertise in environmental justice, along with proven success in writing competitive grant applications that bring in big money.”

“As a frontline organization in South Florida, Catalyst Miami has experienced the urgency of obtaining funding to address low-wealth communities’ shifting needs in the face of more frequent and intense hurricanes, climate-related gentrification, health concerns due to extreme heat, and more. Building the capacity of on-the-ground organizations to do this work is critical to confronting the challenges ahead. Courtenay and Aaron have a proven grant-writing methodology; I’m glad to see it evolve into a training program that can be used across the nonprofit ecosystem.”
