“When I entered the Construction + Public Art Design Institute my problem was that I was depending exclusively on applying for grants to finance my dream of building a co-housing community. The coaches helped me identify a source of income in the meantime – we were relying heavily on securing a grant and the kindness of investors, but not really doing the work to show that we are deserving of being invested in. The workshops not only provide an opportunity for income, but also for recruiting for our survey, focus groups and, most importantly, members. It also helps us to begin meeting the educational component of our mission.”

“Mission Accomplished Transition Services is a blessing in disguise. By my involvement with Mission Accomplished and being in the Electrician’s Union, they were able to vet me out of the work list to land me a job within the community I live, which I thought is astonishing in all aspects. So I say stick with the process! The organization works around the clock to ensure that the community is not being overlooked and putting people in the right arena so they explore the endless possibilities of having a career in the construction industry. It was a pleasure working with them.”

It is critical to ensure you have internal financial controls, from a budget to accounting best practices. Grant writing will help you secure funds to support personal and business growth, from supporting the hiring of new team members to your participation in continuing education. Financial management and grant writing go hamd in hand.
“During my time at the Construction + Public Art Design Institute, I found my voice and gained more confidence. The encouragement to lead more face-to-face interviews allowed me to express my brand identity beyond words on paper. I now have a clearer understanding of what the Albany Rock Project represents, and I feel much more assured in my vision. I also really appreciate my mentors for encouraging me to pursue that WMHT interview, especially Peter. It was precisely what I needed! I required that push to realize it’s not as daunting as it seems. I just needed to share what I already know.”
