This is it…my first ever blog on this brand spanking new website. I hope that you’ll find my tips and tricks useful in raising money for your organization. Just please bear with me as I find my way in the blogosphere!
In writing a first blog here, I want to start with the basics of grant writing. Don’t think you have to consider yourself a “writer” to be able to write grants. Even though you may never have written a formal grant application in your career, it’s a safe bet you have written a request at some point in your life and received compensation for that effort. Think about it… have you written a letter for someone to sponsor you in a charity walk-a-thon? Been away at college and had to text Mom or Dad for some extra cash making a pitiful plea for help? Emailed a local business to donate snacks for the school library fundraiser? Well, my friend, that’s a start! A grant request is simply asking for money to support a cause.
Keep checking in. My goal is to help you become the grant writer you were meant to be.
