“Chris, it wasn’t for your Grant Funding Program, I don’t think I would have succeeded at getting a $5,000.00 grant.”

Chris, I just wanted to let you know that if it wasn’t for your Grant Funding Program, I don't think I would have succeeded at getting a Canada Council for the Arts grant for my poetry reading series. The CCA seldom fund first-time applicants, but thanks to the strategies I followed in your Program I landed $5,000.00 from a source that isn’t easy to obtain funds from. Thanks a million - okay, five thousand.
