"We got our call from DHS, telling us that our grant was approved. Thanks to you [Kurt Bradley] and CHIEF for all your help and guidance. Without all your help, I don't think we would have had a chance at all. I am looking forward to seeing you in Charlotte, NC, for your grant seminar. Thanks again, Kurt and CHIEF, our new family," says Ray Warmuth, Grants Co-Coordinator at Culberson VFD, North Carolina.

"This person is just one of hundreds more who had a successful experience with CHIEF Grants. We hope you, too, will look to CHIEF if you are in need of federal funding and need some expert advice on how to write a successful grant," says Kurt Bradley, CHIEF Grant Consultant. "Please join us for one of our upcoming seminars to gain the valuable experience your department may need!"
