"I am a retired airline captain and the founder and volunteer Executive Director of the North Metro Miracle League based in North Atlanta. A little more than a year ago Tech Soup put out the announcement about the GrantStation special offer. Using a grant search engine was something I had never considered. I was sitting at my desk when the notification that our GrantStation service had been activated. I was curious about how the system worked so I immediately logged in and set up our guidelines. At the speed of light I got a return that identified 15 Foundations that were potential grantors. I looked at the first foundation on the list and one of the options was to call and see if your organization complied with their giving guidelines. I called and spoke to a staff person that Thursday afternoon for 5 minutes. I was asked to send in some information. I did so immediately after hanging up. Friday morning I got a call from the Executive Director of the Foundation asking if I could meet with them the following Monday at 1:00. On Monday I was cordially greeted by the Executive Director and two of the trustees of the Foundation. We spoke for 30 minutes. Things seemed to be going well, but I didn't realize how well till the following Wednesday when I got a call committing $15,000 to the North Metro Miracle League. GrantStation works and has worked more than once for our relatively small 501c3. The services provided are user friendly, and especially friendly to people like me, a non-professional volunteer organizer and fund raiser."
