Hiring a contract grant writing assistant for a few grant projects. (This is a quick side hustle for pocket cash for a college student or stay at home mom to work on during naptomes.) By the end of this contract work, you will have a marketable skill and a letter of recommendation from a grant writing veteran and win record. Message me a PDF of your resume. Minimal writing experience needed, but must be coachable. (Pic for effect about dreaming and the algorithm.)

We are glad to support Giving Tuesday!

As we approach Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Cyber Monday, we hope you won't forget about our special opportunity on Giving Tuesday to support our yearlong mission of environmental education.

Did you know that more than 2500 area students explore the South Padre Island Birding Nature & Alligator Sanctuary through guided field trips? They experience the Laguna Madre habitat and grow in their knowledge about how to protect it. Our field trips are even aligned to the Texas Educational Knowledge and Skills standards.

Please help us influence the next generations, by contributing to our Giving Tuesday Campaign. (You don't have to wait till Tuesday.)
Link to donate is below in the comments.
