About WritingFix: Sponsors and Awards
grants and national awards received by our website

WritingFix is sponsored by the Northern Nevada Writing Project, a not-for-profit organization that operates from its offices at the University of Nevada-Reno. In 2001, the NNWP began using a portion of the federal grant it receives annually from the National Writing Project and local funding to launch and maintain this website. Our two goals, when we began this on-line resource, were 1) to keep it free to use and 2) to keep it free of advertisements.

We're proud to say that we are sure this website will have a long life on the Internet, and our two goals will be maintained.

We're always looking to grow more, and we have been fortunate to have received community and corporate support at opportune times in our brief history. The grants listed below show who has supported us, and what their support has helped us build here at WritingFix.

If you're looking to support a fantastic education and technology project, please contact us at our University of Nevada-Reno offices. We'll gladly add your name to the list of sponsors below.
