Student Testimonials
Working hands-on with OnRamp has been a privilege, and I have enjoyed working alongside a team who cares for our community as much as OnRamp does. I have gained valuable grant writing experience and a new motivation to work in this field in the future.
Sydney Holster | Texas A&MOnRamp TX
Through the Philanthropy Lab’s Grant Writing Board, I have learned so much about development and funding while simultaneously helping an organization I am passionate about. I am assisting in grassroots, systemic, international change for migrants and I could not be more proud and excited.
Christina Gonzalez | University of WashingtonOtros Dreams en Acción
Being on the Philanthropy Lab grant writing board has been a valuable learning experience. Collaborating with peers who share my passion for social impact has expanded my understanding of strategic philanthropy. The insights and feedback from our discussions have helped me refine my approach to grant writing and creating sustainable change.
Bella Gomez | Washington Univeristy in St. LouisThirst Project
Working with the GrantWriting Board has given me an incredible opportunity to learn a skill that’s hardly taught. It’s been great to have the support of the program while collaborating with a non-profit that I am passionate about, helping to raise over $250,000 for them to continue providing critical services to some of the most needy in our community.
Amelia Boatwright | TCUDASH Network
Working as a grant writer for Thirst Project has been incredibly rewarding. I've learned how to craft impactful narratives and develop proposals rooted in community-driven solutions for clean water access in Eswatini. This experience sharpened my research and communication skills while deepening my passion for public health and global development.
