To agree with a comment from above- yes, non-profit organizations are always in need of grant-writing help. I have a couple friends who run theatres and just get bogged down with trying to get everything worked out because their money comes from grants, etc.

But yeah...post-graduation freak out. I'm right there with you. I'm trying to apply to grad schools and find a job and figure out where I want to live and what to do and everything. Definitely had a nice 2 1/2 hour panic attack the other day. Fun times indeed.

Hope all is well and I hope you enjoy the course. :o)

I write academic and non-profit grants for work =) I'm a research consultant.

Grant writing seems like an excellent job for the time being. Good luck in the course!

I rarely read magazines anymore, but I've been known to pick up Runner's World, National Geographic, U.S. News & World Report, Men's Health, and Popular Science.
