"The [eCivis] database has definitely been integral in our grant process. Getting to the library to use research tools there can be difficult (if not even impossible) for me since I also run our Community Assistance Program and provide guest reception at the front desk.
We are putting together a spreadsheet of grant opportunities, rated by type, program, etc, so that we can put together an organized and strategic approach. I am excited that this realm of opportunities has been opened to us!
Thank you for all of your work" - Andrea Colias, The Christian Center
