Brian's Grant Writing Class Fund

Hello, my name is Brian Bergstrom and I am a recent graduate of Elmhurst University with Masters of Science in Geographic Information Systems (GIS). GIS is my passion and always has been. I am very proud of the accomplishment that I have achieved in completing my degree program in December of 2023.

I recently have found that I need to take care of myself and my health first before I take care of others. I do indeed have the skills to help many, but I would be very foolish and dumb if I did not take care of myself first.

Many have asked me what I want to do with my degree and schooling in such a complex field such as GIS, a field that I tell many is just like asking Bill Gates why we should use Microsoft Word. My answer to anyone reading this is I want to take an online grant writing class offered at College of DuPage. The class is a continuing education class which is non-credit as a part of their Adult Enrichment program. The cost for the two courses would be $225 (bundled) as of this writing on January 17th, 2024.

This is not a hand out I am asking for. Donate only if you are able to. I refuse to put someone else out to benefit me. Also keep in mind I have Social Security, so I can only collect up to a certain amount of money or I lose my benefits. Please keep that in mind. This is only a small goal, and I intend to achieve it. You may donate more over the goal, as I do need a frame to put my degree in, but let's not go overboard here.

Thanks,

Brian

P.S. - You may view my portfolio here which has my work I have done in GIS. No, I am not looking for work or to be hired, but I would like others to see my work, or be educated these tools exist.
