In this episode of Grant Writing & Funding, host Holly Rustick welcomes guest Alejandra Salazar, a seasoned grant writer and consultant in the environmental sector. Alejandra shares insights into their career journey, experiences with nonprofit organizations, and the challenges and rewards of being a freelance grant writer. Through their story, we gain a deeper understanding of the importance of mentorship, the need for strategic grant writing, and the value of setting fair prices in the industry.With the support of the Grant Professional Mentorship program, Alejandra was able to position her business, Social Environmental Design Project, to focus on helping small and medium-sized environmental NGOs increase funding and impact. Alejandra emphasizes the scarcity of environmental organizations in Mexico and Latin America, despite the region's rich biodiversity. She explains that the nonprofit sector in these areas, particularly small and medium organizations, face challenges due to limited funds. As a grant writer and consultant, Alejandra aims to work with larger NGOs to develop and design grants for international donors. This strategic approach allows her to maximize impact and secure larger funding sources.Building on her experience working with various NGOs in Mexico, Latin America, and Central America, Alejandra highlights the importance of strategic project design. She explains that social and environmental problems are complex and unpredictable, necessitating careful project structuring to achieve desired results. Alejandra's expertise in biodiversity, conservation, and grant writing allows her to identify gaps and areas of improvement in project design, ultimately increasing the chances of success.As a freelance consultant, Alejandra appreciates the freedom and flexibility that comes with her role. She has the opportunity to lead projects and make decisions without hierarchical boundaries experienced within larger organizations. This autonomy allows her to bring her expertise to the forefront and provide reliable advice to NGOs. Alejandra's proficiency in both the language and subject matter makes her a valuable asset to her clients.She also shares how the Grant Professional Mentorship has helped her business, which now allows for personal activities and family time, while also serving a specific population at affordable rates. Setting fair prices has been a learning process for Alejandra. Initially feeling ashamed of charging higher rates, she soon realized the importance of valuing her skills and expertise. Her shift in mindset allowed her to recognize the significance of charging what she is worth in order to invest in herself, grow her business, and improve her services.------------------------------------------------✨💌 Get FREE Grant Writing Resources when You Join the Grant Writing Hub Haven: https://grantwritingandfunding.com/get-started/👉💰🖥️ Grant Writing Master Course: https://grantwritingandfunding.com/grant-writing-master-course/🖥️🔥 👉 Want to get paid to write grants? https://grantwritingandfunding.com/freelance-grant-writer-course/ 🤗☕👉 Want to increase funding strategies for your https://grantwritingandfunding.com/nonprofit-strategic-planning/ ———————————————————————————To learn more about this episode AND get the full links for each of these, click here: https://grantwritingandfunding.com/287Favor, please?If you love this podcast, would you please do me a favor and leave a review on iTunes or your podcast listener?This helps others find the podcast and I read each and every review!If you have any questions, feel free to emailholly@grantwritingandfunding.com Thanks for listening!Holly RustickExpert Grant Writer & Bestselling Author✨💌 Visit https://grantwritingandfunding.com for the Hub Haven Grant Writing Resources

Fundraising and Prioritizing the 10,000 things on your nonprofit plate!
Do you find yourself doing too much as a nonprofit leader, fundraising development director, or grant writer?
I bet that’s a resounding, “yes!”
I get it. You have a to-do list that never ends.
You have looming monsters that have been on that to-do list for more than a month, er, year. Those things just never seem to get done.
The question is, “Do you even need to do them?”

The Burning Question to Help You Take Time off from Your Nonprofit
It's been a busy week and I am back in the full-time swing of things. Why? School started! If you are a parent, you know what I am talking about. Summer is real for taking mandatory time away from the computer when you have kids.
But it's a great mandatory time away. If we try to 'work through holidays' we may end up feeling guilty for not spending time with our kids or burned out by trying to work regular hours and getting frustrated with everyone in the house.
You might say, "Just send your kid to summer camp or to daycare!" Well, that's not always the solution for every working parent. Summer camp and daycare can cost a pretty penny, your kids may dread it, and there could be major transportation issues. Plus, you actually might want to spend more time with the kiddos during these times off ;)
A better solution may be setting up your year so you work shorter hours during summer, Christmas break, and other holidays. It may not feel like you even have that choice to do that at this point in your life, but let me tell you it is possible.

I have seen nonprofit fundraising teams write the most emotive stories to try and pull on people's heartstrings to give!
I get it. Your nonprofit needs funding and these stories are emotional.
But the problem is that this emotional storytelling (whether via video, pictures, blogs, etc.) can actually dishonor your beneficiaries.
Just think about if your clients or beneficiaries read or watched what you wrote.
Would they feel empowered?
Or, would they feel disempowered?
Mary Gladstone-Highland, CEO of Spark Group Consulting, is on the Grant Writing & Funding podcast and YouTube video to discuss how to share your nonprofit’s mission without misery through your story-telling.

How to Find Ideal Nonprofit Clients That Pay for Your Services
Getting a nonprofit client is amazing when you are a nonprofit consultant. Until it isn’t amazing.
I’ve seen many nonprofit consultants pull their hair out (including me!) when they get the wrong type of client.
✨ The one that keeps negotiating your price down. ✨ The one that asks for continued revisions of grants outside of the scope of the contract. ✨ The one that doesn’t respect your boundaries.
So how do you figure out who and what your ideal client is?
Well, that’s what Mandy Pearce from Funding from Good and Mazarine Treyz from Wild Woman Fundraising share today!

Tips for Grant Writers to Work Better With Nonprofits Clients
Communication is key with any relationship.
If you are a freelance grant writer, being able to be transparent with your work is key in ensuring that all the grants are getting written on time.
If you are a nonprofit leader, getting those documents over to your grant writer is instrumental in making sure the grant gets submitted on time.

So, in 2015, Jack left his job to start TurnOut. TurnOut now supports more than 5,000 volunteers working with over 150 LGBTQ+ nonprofits across California, helping to power organizations addressing LGBTQ+ youth homelessness, LGBTQ+ mental health, LGBTQ+ arts, and much more.

Oh, the R word. I know some of you just groaned, but research is essential. In a typical business plan, you would definitely do market research, and it's not much different for a nonprofit organization.
You need to understand what the needs are (using research) for your program.
Potentially, a workforce program may not be what is the priority for the target demographic, but instead GED or educational support might be more of a priority.
By doing this research you can fill out a section of your template (and include citations!) of what the specific needs are for your target demographic. This is huge as you can use this research for so many other items (website, social media copy, PSAs, etc.).
Now that you have done your research for your grant writing template, you can solidify a specific problem statement.
Example problem statement: "There are no workforce training programs for at-risk youth, ages 16 to 18-year-old in Amazing city, which leads to a myriad of compounding risk factors."
What is the one main positive change that your nonprofit's program will have?
Example goal: "At-risk youth, ages 16 to 18-year-old in Amazing city will reduce their risk factors by securing workforce skills."
The objectives underneath this will be how you will reach your goal.
Example objective: "Program Amazing will provide three levels of workforce training to 25 at-risk youth, ages 16 to 18-year-old in Amazing city by the end of year one."
Underneath your objective you will include different activities to accomplish to ensure your objective is accomplished.
For example:
Activity 1: The project director will secure three MOUs with workforce training partners by the end of month three. Activity 2: The project director will hire a outreach awareness coordinator to create fliers, social media posts and applications for the program in month one. Activity 3: The project director will attend six outreach events with partner organizations to recruit beneficiaries in the first three months. Activity 4: The project director will screen applications in month four. Activity 5: The project director will launch the program in month five. Activity 6: The 25 beneficiaries will attend workforce training during month five to month 12.
I love taking an excel sheet and putting it right next to my activities to figure out how much money will be needed for every item.
We offer all of these plug-n-play documents in our Grant Writing Master Course.
Now it is time to write up the section that you will copy and paste the most!

How Nonprofits Can Use YouTube to increase Donations How Nonprofits Can Use YouTube to Increase Donations
YouTube is a popular platform that is being used to increase donations for nonprofit organizations. But how do you as a nonprofit leverage this platform?
If your nonprofit organization has a tie to an influencer on YouTube, then don't be shy to ask that channel to support your nonprofit with a fundraiser.
In this specific podcast, Sydney Stelmaszek reached out to me (she's a student of the grant writing master course, so it's always great to showcase student's journeys too!) and shared with me how her and her husband have utilized his YouTube platform to raise money for her nonprofit.

What I absolutely loved about what Sydney shares is how thinking out-of-the-box can really help nonprofit organizations come up with ideas that are unique and align with their missions. I also love the tenacity that Sydney and her husband have with helping raise funds for a disease that has impacted their lives so personally. Their can-do attitude and drive will surely help their son and so many other people.

How do we plan out our nonprofit's budget? Who should review our finances? Does our nonprofit need an audit? Should our nonprofit use QuickBooks for our financial accounting?
In this week's video and podcast, Ansley Fender goes into detail answering these questions and more!

Asking donors to give money to your nonprofit may cause some people stress. Many nonprofit leaders, volunteers, or board directors may not know:
💰 how to approach the subject of giving, 💰 what specifically to ask for, or 💰 who to approach.
The thing is, nonprofit organizations should ask for donations! But the how, who, and what is not something that comes natural to all.

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted every particle of our lives. From our mental health to our physical health, we have been impacted.
Nonprofit organizations and freelance grant writers are no exception to this impact. As we navigate through the ongoing pandemic, there has been many changes when it comes to employment.
However, since 2020 the funding and human resource landscape has continued to evolve for nonprofit organizations and freelance grant writers. Which leads us to the conversation about how nonprofit leaders and freelance grant writers can leverage opportunities in the Great Resignation.

How Nonprofits Can Leverage the Great Resignation
If your nonprofit is looking to fill positions, you have opportunities! ✔️ Consider Freelancers or Consultants vs. Employees ✔️ Don't Require Previous Nonprofit Experience ✔️ Conduct Strategic Planning to Revisit Your Mission and Hiring Needs
If you are freelance grant writer looking to leverage the Great Resignation:
✔️ Leverage the fact that working remotely is now mainstream ✔️ Leverage your needed skill in grant writing!
For your nonprofit to really gain speed, it is time to re-evaluate what you do and why you do it. Getting clear on your mission and vision statements and really embracing them can be the thing that keeps your nonprofit afloat.
Conducting strategic planning will boost team morale, give needed guidance, and attract those from the Great Resignation who are longing to work with meaning.
Breaking out your strategic planning can be as simple as conducting a SWOT analysis, evaluating your mission and vision statements, aligning your funding matrix, and mapping out your year.
By doing this, your nonprofit will also be able to evaluate what types of skills are needed to advance your nonprofit. Furthermore, you will know what your budget is to either hire an employee or freelancer.
These are critical decisions, but without doing the planning you will continue to operate in confusion and overwhelm.

Warmly, Holly
Grant writers cannot get paid to write grants on commission. This is one of the most popular urban myths of the grant writing world.
It might sound like a win-win situation, but it's not.

Getting paid a percentage of the grant award is against the best practices of the grant writing community.
Some of the leading associations who prohibit writing grants on commission include the Association of Funding Professionals, Grant Professionals Association, and Grantsmanship Center, and here at Grant Writing & Funding.
According to the OMB Super Circular Uniform Guidance proposal costs are aligned with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), and pre-award costs are very specific.
The GAAP standards state that fundraising services should be paid “at the time services are provided.”
When creating a budget for a grant program, you design a budget for costs to (generally) create, operate, or expand a nonprofit's program. These budgets are generally for future projects (or expansion of programs).
Once the grant is submitted, it goes through a review process. If your grant makes it to the top for approval, you then enter into a grant agreement (contract) with the funding source. They are approving your budget from time of signature forward.
Once a grant writer has written a grant, they have created a product. This product is a business plan that can be used for multiple funding advancements.
Plus, this takes a grant writer's time, technical writing experience, and grant writing knowledge. Many grant writers invest in grant writing courses and hone their skills over years.
Even if the grant proposal does NOT get awarded, it is still a product that can be repurposed for the following items: ✨ Resubmit to the same funding source next funding cycle ✨ Submit to other grant funding sources ✨ Submit for funding to corporate sponsors, etc. ✨ Use the copy from the grant for fundraisers, on websites, fliers, social media, etc.

Gender Bias isn't a new topic to Grant Writing & Funding as we have also brought up why women grant writers charge less for nonprofit service compared to men (https://grantwritingandfunding.com/female-grant-writers-struggle-pricing-rates/).
But this topic is one we want to highlight more and more! That's because nearly 66% of grant writers in the United States are female.
We hear so many stories of female grant writers, nonprofit consultants, development directors, etc. that have faced discrimination.
This is outrageous and needs to end.
Gender bias is not a new topic to Mazarine Treyz, either.
In fact, she is a huge advocate to end patriarchy, especially in the nonprofit space!
That's why it is so amazing to connect with her and have her on the Grant Writing podcast and YouTube show this week.
What Mazarine and I Discuss ✨Women and sexism in the nonprofit field ✨White supremacy culture affecting freelance grant writers ✨The 40 hour work week - why that isn't set in stone and what rhythm might work better ✨How women can negotiate and ask for what they want ✨And much, much more!

What we identify is there is no magic number, but there is a formula for you to discover what that rate is for you.
Because the most important constant variable in this situation is...You.
To identify what you should charge to write grants depends on some of the following: ✔️Your experience in writing grants ✔️Your experience in securing grants ✔️Your geographic location ✔️Your business expenses ✔️Your sense of worth and value ✔️Your self-confidence ✔️Your understanding of the importance of what you do and the impact
What We Talk About: ✨How Mandy got started with Funding for Good ✨How to structure how much to get paid as a freelance grant writer ✨Why freelance grant writers think nonprofits can't pay fees ✨Why consultants should also offer free content ✨Why free scholarships to access consultants don't work ✨How to know what you're worth as a freelance consultant ✨Why mindset is so important for freelance grant writers ✨When hiring a freelance grant writer (outsourcing) is better for a nonprofit than hiring an employee ✨How to increase your prices as a freelance grant writer Why discovery calls should be vetted and only 15 minutes

Your nonprofit organization may struggle with keeping ongoing donors and in the everlasting search of new donors.
Sound familiar?
This is called donor churn. Most nonprofits churn 55% of donors annually!
Holy Smokes!
The thing is, it can cost 50-100% more to get new donors compared to the donations they will give. Yikes!
Enter Bonjoro!
"Bonjoro is building the world's first Customer Delight platform to help great teams build real relationships with their customers at scale."
Simply put, Bonjoro is an amazing platform where your nonprofit can easily connect with donors via video.
I use Bonjoro and I love it. It's been a great way that I have been able to send videos to customers and create a personalized relationship with them. In fact, an epiphany came to me one day where I thought...
"OMGEE...This would be excellent for nonprofits to build donor relationships!"
Clearly I am not the only one who thought this! When I reached out to Bonjoro to have a chat, they pointed me to their amazing nonprofit platform where they do this!
Just imagine as soon as a first-time donor gives a donation you get a notification on your phone.
✨ You take a super quick video to thank them by name. ✨ With a tap of the finger the video would be emailed over to them. ✨ All in all, you might have spent two minutes to run a quick thank you video. But the power of that video is HUGE!
No downloading the video to upload somewhere else, to only get rejected by their email because the file is too large. Everything is streamlined.
There are definitely other ways that your nonprofit can use Bonjoro to boost donor retention.
What Matt Barnett and I discuss to Boost Donor Retention ✨How nonprofit organizations can use Bonjoro for fundraising campaigns ✨How nonprofit organizations can utilize video for monthly giving ✨What Bonjoro is and how to use it ✨Why Matt Barnett created Bonjoro ✨Why building relationships is vital for nonprofits ✨The culture at Bonjoro (and the story behind the bears) ✨Bonjoro's 1% pledge and why that inspired me ✨How to work with virtual teams (I know. Seems random, but so GOOD!) ✨How your nonprofit can apply to be considered for a Bonjoro pledge

Christina Edwards, founder of Splendid Consulting, shares why your nonprofit should think about investing some time on Instagram.
She does this in some very simple steps!
If you are wanting more donors, supporters, influencers, etc. then Instagram is a great social media tool for your nonprofit to leverage.
But at the end of the day, you don't want to get sucked down the rabbit hole and get hung up on likes or followers. Conversion is the most important key for any social media platform to be effective.
What we Discuss about the Instagram Guide for Nonprofits ✨ How to convert followers to take social action on Instagram ✨ How to use Canva for quick graphics ✨ What pillar content is and how to use it ✨ How to ensure that social media marketing doesn't consume all your time ✨ How to transfer followers to your nonprofit's website ✨ How to use Instagram's donate button to increase donor giving ease.

Oh yes, I just typed the F-word. Yep, that one that makes most grant writers shiver in their sleep.
No, I am not cussing. But maybe this word should be a bona fide swear word.
Free.
I know it haunts you.
It’s interesting that as a grant writer your skills can have one of the biggest impacts on increasing funding for nonprofit organizations, however you will still be serenaded by nearly every nonprofit (not to mention individuals looking for that magic grant to fund a college degree) to write grants for free.
This has always puzzled me. Grant writers have technical writing skills to find and secure funding and in many cases millions of dollars for nonprofits.
However, many organizations seek out grant writers and some guilt them into writing for free or giving away all their knowledge at no cost.
Here’s the thing. There is a time and place for the F-word. Yep.
Free can be a pathway at times, but not all.
You might be wondering why you don’t get paid well when you see those hundreds, or millions of dollars come in.
Or you might be wondering how in the world you can make it as a grant writing consultant as you feel like no nonprofit can pay you for your services.
Side note: Nonprofits can, do, and should figure out ways to get money and pay for your grant writing services.
If you are in a position where you get an amazing wage or charge well, then kudos for you!
But I wanted to address this issue as I have seen way too many grant writing consultants play jump rope over the ever-changing line of boundaries, not sure where to land or how to stop jumping.
I was once there.

Why Female Grant Writers Struggle with Pricing & Rates
Oh now, that is a fully-loaded statement. But worth the heavily weighed explanation.
I have been going back and forth with other grant writers on this question of “Do grant writers get paid less because most are female?” and even down to “Are grant writer rates high enough?” Moreover, nearly every single female grant writer I know struggles with how to do her pricing and come up with rates that feel good.
In this article, I am going to break down some of the gender-specifics on the grant writing industry. Some of these may surprise you because you have been living the life thinking you only need to Google “Grant Writer Salary” and the Internet will get some ideal number that you can just throw onto your freelance grant writing website or in that grant writer salary description.
Here’s the thing. The most deafening question I get from my grant writing students is, “How much should I charge for my grant writing skills?”
I am not going to give you a magic number in this article of what you should charge, but I think we first need to understand why we keep peering out into the information universe for this question instead of tuning inward.
What I am going to share with you in this podcast should wake you up a bit and hopefully will ripple some change across this female-dominant landscape.

Leveraging the Power of Celebrity to Fundraise for Your Nonprofit with Amy & Scott Malin
✨✨ Visit www.grantwritingandfunding.com to get the proven G.R.A.N.T.S. formula to write winning grants ✨✨
Let's be real. We talk about more than this in today's podcast, but we do really go through the nitty-gritty of leverage to the power of celebrity to fundraise for your nonprofit!
I know, I know. I've seen it all before. Starry eyes and a golden haze when a nonprofit drops a celebrities name. Why?
You know why. The celebrity can leverage a huge audience to get eyes on your nonprofit organization's mission. But should this be your main aim? Should it be your only aim?
Like any type of funding partnership it is a partnership. There needs to be a win on both sides of the partnership. There needs to be strategy in forming a partnership.
Hollywood's Social Impact Experts Amy & Scott Malin also discuss their newest tech for good: Trueheart social impact search engine and how to value your service.

Why & How You Should Start a Cause Movement for What You are Passionate About
Starting a nonprofit organization is not the only way to create and advance a cause movement that you are passionate about. Sometimes it's as simple as volunteering for a cause, donating to a mission, or cleaning up a beach.
But sometimes you want to go a step deeper and have your passion drive your creativity into manifesting something new. That's what Rebecca Soriano has done! She has always been passionate about mental health and in her medical billing business serves a clientele of mental health providers.
During the pandemic though, Rebecca started a movement she calls Roar to Soar where she started to write handwritten letters to help with her own isolation. She started to see the impact these letters had (both for those who received them, as well as for her personal growth), and started to reach out to strangers who also felt isolated.
In fact, she posted online if people felt hopeless if they would like a letter and received 40+ requests per day. The movement grew from there where she also started writing letters to incarcerated individuals and creating friendships.

How to Save Time in Your Nonprofit & Grant Business with the Impact Method
Capacity can really mean time and money. Sometimes money can leverage time and vice versa. But time seems to be the most valuable metric for nonprofits and grant writing businesses.

How to Take Time Off from Your Nonprofit or Grant Writing Business
Yes. A summer sabbatical, two-week break, or maybe even a year abroad sojourn could be exactly what makes sense for you in your nonprofit or grant writing business right now.
I've been hearing this term thrown around in entrepreneur groups lately of taking a sabbatical. No longer is this term only whispered in the halls of academia. This actual term of sabbatical is defined according to Merriam-Webster dictionary as:
noun a period of paid leave granted to a university teacher or other worker for study or travel, traditionally one year for every seven years worked. "she's away on sabbatical"
adjective 1. relating to a sabbatical. "sabbatical leave" 2. ARCHAIC of or appropriate to the sabbath.
So, yes, this is way more of an academia term yet also includes a nod to some thing sacred. Pretty cool, huh?
What is also interesting as most entrepreneurs and grant writers would use this term as paid time away. This might mean having saved up funds for this particular time off or maybe they are generating some passive income. For nonprofit leaders, the time I am talking about taking off is also paid time away.
Because, let's face it. Taking time to recharge isn't so relaxing when you're not getting paid.
When to Take Time Off
Well, there are several different ideas of this.
1) The most common is to take off time when you are so burned out that you literally can't function. Usually this type of 'time off' includes hospital rest at the very extreme all the way to sleeping for days on end. This is a dangerous place to be, however the good ole American work ethic and literally work people to death. Not that good after all, huh? 2) The next most common is to schedule time off after an intense workload period. So after a huge fundraiser or long grant season. You know you will need a break so you schedule in advance for after that intense period of working. Let's be real, sometimes they intense periods need to be had. But let's look at another way. 3) The least common but most effective. Schedule time off before you get burned out. Seems pretty simple, but so many people feel guilty for doing this! Imagine, you take off time so during those intense periods you can feel fresh and 100%. How much more productive and less intense would those periods feel?
While looking at this in my own life and grant writing business, I realized that I need to be operating on #3 A LOT more. I am a very classic A type personality and going, going, going is my game. But I often find myself operating in the #2 (or sometimes #1) phase and it is not a pretty place to be!
In this podcast, I go behind the scenes of how I was able to take off my 'summer sabbatical' and set up systems where my brand still continues but I get to take off time with my family!
This system can be replicated :)
Think about what phase (1, 2, or 3) you resonate with and how you can start to operate more in #3.

✨ Why You Should Stop Asking Your Board to Fundraise and Why Donors Rock ✨🎙️
What?! Yes, this might sound contradicting. (Well, the stopping to ask your board to fundraise, not the rocking donors!).
When Sarah Olivieri first mentioned this I told her she had to explain, and that she did.
Why might you ask your board members to stop fundraising? Well, she will point that out in the podcast, but it will take your mind for a little ride. Hint-hint: Maybe you should create a fundraising committee with other people that are dedicated to fundraising so your board can focus on guiding the nonprofit...
That's just one thought process to think about in this discussion! Here's a look at...
What We Discuss ✨Why You Should Stop Asking Your Board to Fundraise ✨Why Donors Rock ✨Why Donors love to give to unrestricted funding ✨How to get the first 150 Donors ✨Why you might not need a CRM or social media ✨Where to find donors ✨How to model the weight loss advertisements for fundraising

Yes, meaningful conversations are a must if you want effective solutions for your nonprofit strategies.
I know. It's easier for many nonprofit leaders to just ask, "Can you just make me a fundraising content calendar within the hour?"
But what if that fundraiser isn't really what your nonprofit needs to grow?
I know it can feel taxing to try and fit in a conversation about why you even want the fundraiser in the first place (because we always have one) or what the real outcome you want that fundraiser to have for your nonprofit (er, money?). But the immediate answers aren't always the right ones.
In this week's episode, Nonprofit Strategist Julie Platts guides me through how she goes deep with nonprofit clients to ask some of these specific questions. After all, she is a nonprofit strategist for a reason.
What you hear might surprise you. But chances are, it will also inspire you to slow down for a few shakes so you can speed up with efficiency with your strategies. There are a lot of 'a-ha!' moments in this episode. Believe me.
Plus, since Julie is also a consultant, she also shares with me some consultancy wisdom. We go deep on this too! I love how she talks about how she organizes her time and selects ideal clients.
Need I say more? Just listen. Believe me, you'll thank me ;)
What we discuss: How to have those meaningful conversations with nonprofit leaders What questions to ask nonprofits when prepping for strategic planning Why services usually need to change during these deep dives Why it's okay that these services change ;) How to select ideal clients by using a 'warm' technique Other amazing stuff that you just need to tune-in and listen to!

Have you ever wondered how to write the evaluation section of a grant proposal? Maybe you sat there at 2 a.m. (of course the night before a grant is due) and scratched your head as you came across this section towards the end of a grant.
You think, “You want me to write how I am going to run a program and now you need to know how I will evaluate that the project is running how I said it will run?”
Er, yep. Funding sources do want to know how you will evaluate what you say you are going to do. Are you proposing to house 30 sloths within 12 months? Well, you better include how you will evaluate that those 30 sloths will be housed!
But seriously, we do need to showcase this in grants.
In this week’s podcast, Dr. James Pann goes over how to write the evaluation section of a grant proposal (and he gives his top tips!).

Get the FOA/RFP First you need to download the Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) or Request for Proposal (RFP). These are usually for federal grants, state grants and contracts, and certain foundation grants. This is basically where the funding sources publish directions and guidance about the grant program. The grant funding sources also put in technical requirements (such as font size, margin sizes, number of pages allowed, and so forth).
Convert the FOA/RFP from a PDF to Word Doc PDFs can be really hard to work with! Especially if you copy something from a PDF and put it into a Word document. It might copy really strange and into a weird font or it might not even let you copy it.
By converting the PDF file to a Word document you can work with the FOA/RFPs so much easier and it only take a few seconds to convert!
Copy the Scoring Criteria Section and Paste it Into a New Word Doc Now that the FOA/RFP is in a Word document you will want to go to the Scoring Criteria in the FOA/RFP. Copy that and put in a new Word document. I know, another Word document, but you will thank me. Ta-da! Now you’re not starting with a blank page!
Turn the Criteria Sections into Headers (Header 1, Header 2) What do I mean by this… well, make the criteria actual headers. Make the main scoring criteria (for example, Needs Section) a Header One and then any questions under Needs Section into a Header Two.
Put in a table of contents at the beginning (if you have space allowed) Go to the beginning of your Word Document and go to Reference Tab in the Word document and click on Table of Contents. This is nice to include in your cover page or in the top of the first page. This is of course, if you do have room. Why is this important? It shows there is a flow to the grant. 😊
Respond to the Grant Scoring Criteria Now you have all the questions formatted and you no longer have a blank page. Plus you will be responding directly the Scoring Criteria. This is super important because grant reviewers are real people who have to score according to the grant scoring criteria.

As a 15+ year grant writing veteran I have seen some amazing resources come and go, and I've seen other ones evolve. I am highlighting 8 resources that I LOVE and some of these I use on a consistent basis! In fact, I am using one right now (after you read through my recommendations, have a guess at which one I am using at this moment!).
In full transparency, I do have partnerships (and receive affiliate payments) with some of these products below and offer coupon codes for you. I do this as I love, love, love these products and they are proven to help grant writers succeed!
This is for you if you are seeking federal grants. And this one is free! This is a U.S. government e-platform and is where all federal grants are required to be published. I recommend joining the email list and checking the boxes on what types of grants you are interested in being notified of.
Okay, this one has a lot of links. What I recommend you do is visit the federal agency websites that are related to your nonprofit. Even though all federal grants are published on Grants.gov, it is still good to visit the federal agency website where the grant originates from.
3) Nonprofit & Foundation Information: Guidestar.org
Guidestar.org is a great place to find both nonprofits and foundations. (Your nonprofit might even be listed here!) Check it out to ensure that your nonprofit's profile is updated and accurate as funding sources sometimes check out Guidestar.org when reviewing grants!
4) Foundation and Federal Grant Research: Instrumentl Looking for a grant research platform that includes foundation grants? Instrumentl is a an intuitive online software that matches your specific programs with funding opportunities.
5) Grant Management: GEMS (Grant Easy Management Software)
GEMS was built by a grant writer to manage nonprofit clients, previously submitted grants, and more! Never miss a grant deadline with this program management system developed specifically for grants writers.
6) Project Management: Asana
Track your fundraiser, project, and more (and share with your team!).
You can also upload all files and graphics needed for projects so no more digging through emails!
7) Graphics: Canva
I love, love, lova Canva! Do you need to create social media posts, fliers, or even webpages?
Check out Canva for even the dinosaur techies! It’s so easy to use and has tons of templates!
8) Time Tracking: Toggl
Yes, time tracking is a thing.
It’s actually a major item that every grant writer should use! You need to know about how long it takes you to write a foundation grant, a federal grant, a fundraising proposal and more!
All you have to do is write what you are doing and it tracks your time! Plus, it gives you reports and more. This is also great for freelance grant writers who need to bill for your time. It’ll track everything and you can send your clients a jazzy report! Plus, there’s an app.

What is the difference between an output and outcome in a grant proposal?
The difference between an output and outcome in a grant proposal might not seem quite different at first. In fact, it might feel downright like the same darn thing.
For many grant writers this difference between an output and outcome can feel a little abstract and confusing.
You might be thinking, "What are the differences and why do grants have to be so meticulous?"
Are grant funding sources just trying to trick you with these output and outcome words? Are they chuckling in the background while you scratch your head and think, “to-may-to / to-mah-to”?
Nah, grant reviewers aren’t that bored, although they do have a good sense of humor.
But it's good for you there is a quick way to know what this differences actually are and a way you can remember outputs and outcomes, and better yet, understand them.
Once you understand what the differences (and similarities) are between grant outputs and outcomes it will make your grant writing SO much better.

Learning how to write objectives for grant application proposals is essential to your grant writing success.
This is often overlooked.
Many people think an objective can just be a wish. Such as, "We hope to accomplish this program."
Let's just start with Captain Obvious. Would you be willing to give someone money for a project if they only hoped to accomplish it?
Or would you be willing to shell out dough for a project that had a goal of 'Ending Poverty for All" but there was no plan on how to accomplish that goal?
Sometimes it helps to flip the script and pretend you are the funding source, rather than the applicant.
But how do you create a plan (objectives) for a grant proposal? What is the secret formula?

Are you looking for tips to increase donor giving on your nonprofit's website? You might be frustrated because you finally went through the work of installing a donate button and connected it to your nonprofit's PayPal account, but you are getting nada.
Why aren't donors giving? Your website is up. The donor button is up. But still, no transactions. Ugh. It makes you want to crawl under your desk with a box of Kleenex.
You might think, "Do people even care about my nonprofit?"
The fact is, that plenty of people probably care about your nonprofit and the mission it provides. But have a think. Just think about all the times you have donated (or tried to donate) to nonprofit's online. Have you ever been on a website where you hit the 'donate' button and it brought you to a 404 Error Page? Or maybe your baby started crying in the background and the nonprofit was requesting a survey for you to fill out before you gave so you just hit the X button and closed out the page?
There are a lot of reasons that people might not become donors online. And most of them aren't because they don't care about your nonprofit. (So throw that tissue away). A lot of times it is because of the friction to actually become a donor.
This could mean an error page, too many questions to donate, and lots, lots, more.
In this week's podcast, Brady Josephson from NextAfter Institute will this and more including:
Online Donor Friction Worksheet Donor Giving overall was up 2 -10% in the United States in 2020 2020 was the Biggest Year in Online Giving (up at least 30%) in the history of the world Transition to investing in technology for nonprofits Digital fundraising ideas Important to remember when online marketing "You are not your donor" Why email marketing and nurturing should be more frequent than once a month Why you should do both online and offline donor updates (emails, social media, phone calls, direct mail)

Are you not sure even what a SWOT Analysis is or how it relates to strategic planning?
Well, I am definitely not saying get rid of the SWOT analysis altogether, but I am saying the old tired way of just shoving it in your planning and not knowing how to utilize is so over.
How? Well, you do need a SWOT Analysis for your nonprofit’s strategic planning, however, it doesn’t have to be boring.
It is actually one of the most FUN activities in your strategic planning.
A SWOT Analysis A SWOT stands for:
Strengths Weaknesses Opportunities Threats (or Challenges)

This is a question I get a lot...
“Holly, how do I find federal grants for my nonprofit?”
Federal grant research expert Jason Adkins, gives us 5 steps to find those pesky federal grants. Well, er, they seem pesky until you find them, and then federal grants rock.
I know you might feel like federal grants are elusive, but after Jason breaks down the steps (and gives you websites to find them), then you will be feeling like a pro.
So if thinking about finding federal grants makes you immediately zone out and start stress-chewing your nails, then you will want to listen to today's podcast episode on finding federal grants (and save that precious manicure).
Some Highlights We Discuss: Why sometimes having an English Degree doesn’t automatically equate to being a Grant Writer Why ‘failing forward’ is important Keeping a flipchart list of grants secured to make sure you have moments of celebration and don’t go from grant deadline to grant deadline How Jason uses the same strategies of writing a foundation and federal grant How being a federal grant reviewer has been helpful in writing federal grants Grant writing is best at a 9th to 12th grade level Why formatting a federal grant is important Schedule time in your workday to find grants

A common question I get, as a grant professional, from nonprofit clients, is, "Can you guarantee that the grant you write for us will get awarded?"
There are a number of reasons that I say no. Very simply put, these are some of the determining factors:
1) It depends also on the nonprofit's capacity and experience in winning and managing grants that depend on their competitiveness with getting a grant awarded.
2) It depends on how well the grant project aligns with the priority of the funding source.
3) It depends on how 'trendy' the project is with current funding overall.
4) It depends on how many grant applications the funding source receives.
These are just a few, but there are many more reasons.
Listen to this week's podcast to hear them all and how you can respond to this question!
Did you know that you can do grant research as a stand-alone service or in a package that you offer nonprofit clients?
You write grants, but did you know you can charge separately for researching and finding grants?
(jaws drop).
Yes! Here's the thing...sometimes nonprofit clients will approach grant professionals with a list of grant opportunities and just want you to write the grants. But more often than not, nonprofit clients will also want you - the freelance grant writer - to research the grants, too.
Sometimes nonprofit clients may not understand that this is an additional service or will increase your grant writing rate.
Why?
Well, grant research takes:
an investment of your skillset (yes, grant research is an art), your time (the research rabbit hole), and money (most grant research databases charge you to use their database).
So grant research can actually be a standalone service you provide or in addition to the grant writing (first you find the best X # of best-fit grants, then you write them).
In this week's podcast, I go into more detail on the how, why, and what of grant research! Be sure to give it a listen :)

Grant Writing Certificate. To have or not to have?
And then... from where?
This is a question I get all the time.
I get this question from freelance grant writers and aspiring freelancers, but I also get it from potential nonprofit clients.
Do you have a grant writing certificate?
This question, and 7 more common questions asked by nonprofit clients, I will go over in even more detail (and give you a fill-in-the-blank script) in my upcoming 5-Day FB Challenge, "Confidently Pitch Your Grant Writing Services to Nonprofit Clients" on March 8th - 12th. Sign up above.
But for this week's podcast, I will uncover the answer to the elusive question, "Do you have a grant writing certificate?"
Here's the thing though. Grant Certificate or not, it doesn't really showcase your grant writing abilities. To have long-standing credibility and a reputation and to implement your learned skills, you need to write grants. Real-world grants. Not just a sample in a grant workshop. You need a pen to paper (or, er, keyboard to monitor?) and get out there and write some grants.
So, yes, a grant writing certificate can increase your resume and improve your skills, but grant writing certificate or not, you need to actually write grants.
If you aren't sure where to start, then check out nonprofits to volunteer at! And believe me, if you start volunteering the nonprofit won't ask you for a grant writing certificate! But you may be able to ask them to pay for your grant writing certificate and then you will volunteer ;)
So do you really need one? No. However, a grant writing certificate can be helpful in increasing credibility, knowledge, skills, and confidence. But you still will need to actually start writing grants.

These are 7 myths about grant writing and freelance grant writing that I have heard time and time again.
In this week's podcast episode, I am going to break down each of the following:
Grants are not super easy to write. In fact, if you are a grant writing you are probably chuckling right now. Grants are competitive. They aren't impossible to get, nor are they so easy that you don't need to learn the technique behind grant writing.
Sure, overall grants don't have to be paid back. However, if grants aren't spent properly they might need to be paid back. Always check with the program office if you need to modify a budget to get permission before you spend for something not approved!
Moreover, you are not going to get a funding source to pay off your BMW. Grants are created for specific purposes, and those purposes usually don't include a direct deposit to pay off your personal debt.
Writing English literature papers is not like writing a grant. Grant writing has specific technical methods and is different than writing an English paper. That said, writers in other genres and disciplines can learn how to write grants!
Eek! If you have the skillset and experience, you can definitely charge nonprofit organizations to write grants or get a position as a paid grant writer!
No, no, no. This is unethical, against Best Practices, ineligible to be charged for in federal grants, and is a product you create! You should get paid to write a grant with other funds.
Okay, I know I said you should get paid to write grants. You should - if you have the experience. However, if you are new to writing grants, then you may need to volunteer for a few months to get some grant writing experience, take a course to learn some skills or do an internship. This will help build your skills so then you can charge for it!
Make sure you listen to the full podcast to get SO many more details and examples about the 7 Myths You Need to Know About Grants & Freelance Grant Writing!

What if you had a checklist to help streamline your duties as an executive director of a nonprofit organization?
Sometimes an executive director of a nonprofit organization is stereotyped as juggling a million things and getting paid peanuts. But this doesn't, nor shouldn't, need to be the case. For a nonprofit organization to thrive, the executive director should have a roadmap. Some nonprofit organizations may not even have an executive director yet, and are even drooling at this aspect of having one!
But the deal is - if your nonprofit is so fortunate to have an executive director - don't burn them out!
So here's the old hierarchal order of a nonprofit. There is a board of directors that provides guidance for the nonprofit organization and then the executive director implements this guidance. Of course, the board should still support the mission in governance ways, and other staff, volunteers, and consultants can help out too!
The executive director is then often tasked with a lot of items, ranging from taking minutes of meetings to writing grants! This is why they get the stereotype of juggling a lot of diverse responsibilities.
Well, if you know of a busy nonprofit executive director that feels like they are virtually drowning, or if you are one, then you will want to listen to this week's podcast!
Sean discusses the following:
How to communicate with your board of directors How to delegate How to manage time (time management hacks) What activities to focus on most of the time (high level) What you should ask for in a contract and why one is important Much more...

In this podcast, I am going to bring up when your freelance company or nonprofit should stand up for movements or injustice.
Here’s the deal. Sometimes I see nonprofits and freelance companies not sure if they should publicly support something. Most of the time it’s not because you don’t support something, but rather you might not be sure if your brand should make a stand.
In this episode, I am going to give you indicators on how you can quickly decide if you want your nonprofit to stand on an issue and how you want to represent it. I am not going to shove down your throat what my stances are on issues, however, I will use my company’s stances as examples that I actually practice what I preach.
Here’s the issue. Many times nonprofits and freelancers are just scared to publish a social media post or say they are in alignment with issues. They may fear losing donors, losing followers, or getting unsubscribes on their email list. They may not want to marginalize or polarize their audience.
I am going to show you how to make decisions where those fears will not be an issue.
Why is this important? Because we are moving more and more from a position where non-political players have an influence in the social, economic, and yes political movements. The invention of social media is has created a platform for sharing views and perspectives. I remember when celebrities first got on social media and suddenly there was direct access to their thoughts and beliefs. It was, and is, pretty cool. But social media is also your platform of your nonprofit’s view and ethics or your freelance grant writing businesses branding. To post nothing is to post something.

Oh my goodness! This podcast was SO much fun to edit. I got to go through some of the MOST-listened podcasts of 2020 and grab some snacks for ya. That's right. I grabbed the gold of the good. This is caramel boutique popcorn for you to snack on.
I pulled some excellent snippets to start off with nonprofit tips, then went into pricing and packaging for freelancers. But this episode is super unique because it's a historical archive of highlights from 2020. It showcases how we pivoted - and continue to pivot - in our nonprofit and grant world.
See who is featured!

What is your new year's resolution for your nonprofit?
"This is the time not to drink, but to think." Dr. Beverly Browning
The first thing on your list should be (before you even file for a nonprofit) in your state should be to learn the entire process from start-up to sustainability.
If you have the right board of directors, a strategic plan, a financial outline, and the right branding, then you can do this!
(Join the Nonprofit Start-Up Academy if you want this entire system)
But let's face it, 2021 has changed the priorities and funding systems for many nonprofits. So it is time to make a new resolution for your nonprofit!
1) Reflect on what is most important in how your nonprofit will operate 2) Are there new goals for your nonprofit (include your board of directors!) 3) Writing your values down and seeing if they fit in your mission and vision statements 4) Do you need to create new projects or programs?
These questions will help you define what your nonprofit's New Year's Resolutions should be!

OMG. Branding is important and here to stay. Yes, even for nonprofit organizations.
But Holly, I don't have a budget for my programs how do I fund a swanky website or social media posts? Don't you know we are living off peanuts here?
Okay, the second question there is worth another podcast all on its own. For reals. We gotta pull up a seat for that one. The first question, though, here is your answer. You don't need a big budget for branding. Sometimes it's as simple as having business cards for your staff. But let's be real, it's almost 2021 (or maybe your reading this in 2021 and beyond), and you need a website. Not just a Facebook page. Not just an Instagram account. You need a website and there are a lot of very affordable and user-friendly options out there.
It can be overwhelming, though. So that's why Dr. Beverly Browning and I put together this podcast so that you would get a crash course on some great tips and resources to get your nonprofit (or if you are a freelancer: the nonprofits you work with) up to speed on some beautiful branding.

This year is definitely a bit different when thinking for end of year fundraising. Let's be real.
But not doing fundraisers may not be an option (and shouldn't be) for your nonprofit, or the nonprofits that you serve.
Let's be real. People still want to give to your nonprofit. And some people may have some extra cash this year as they aren't traveling and doing all the normal holiday things.
Other people may even realize the impact your nonprofit really has in the community and understand that you haven't been getting the funding you normally do. Therefore, I encourage you to do your fundraising events.
But I also realize that you may not be able to do the good ole brick n' mortar (or live) ones that you usually do. So here are some great ideas for nonprofits to do some virtual fundraisers over this Thanksgiving or over the holidays in 2020 and beyond.
Ways to thank your donors: Snail Mail! Send out a thank you card! We love snail mail right now! Recognize (and tag) donors on your social media accounts. We are all online more right now. Be sure to recognize people! For a list of 15 Creative Ways to Recognize Donors and Thank Them, you can listen to Podcast #33.
A fun way to earn some funding on Thanksgiving is to organize a Turkey Trot 2K, 5K, or 10K. But what about now?
Virtual fun runs are all the rage right now. Adding a virtual scavenger hunt can be tons of fun (and way less work than organizing an in-person 5K, believe me).
I love Scavify. :)
Host a seasonal baking competition utilizing the top bakers in your community. Entry fees can be very nominal to try out samples of the baked goods. This competition will create a buzz about the baked goods and may not raise a lot of money, BUT to upsell you can create an online order form for people to order the winning baked goods! So, all of a sudden the pumpkin pie that won the competition, you can now sell pre-orders on your website!
Create a gift basket, complete with your logo and a brochure about your organization, and go get corporate orders! Yes, corporations love giving out gift baskets to their clients and staff, but they also want something new and meaningful each year. If they order the gift basket from your organization, you can still include the typical cheese, fruits, and baked goods, but you can also add your swag and personal touch so everyone that receives the basket knows that their gift benefited a nonprofit!
Tip: Take orders (paid orders) from corporates beforehand so you do not hold onto any unwanted inventory.
So those are 5 Great Virtual Fundraising Events for Thanksgiving!

Has your nonprofit, or the nonprofits you work with, received any CARES Act Funding? If not, you will want to listen to this full podcast!
This week Mr. Tim Butler comes on the Grant Writing & Funding Podcast to discuss how your nonprofit can tap into CARES Act Funding before this round is gone. Yes, certain stipulations have been made so that states and cities distribute their portion of CARES Act funding by a certain time. In some cases, it's as soon as November 15th, 2020. However, there will be some extensions, but it's better to jump in on this now rather than later.
About Tim Butler:
Long have the disparities in America existed between the haves and have nots. But Tim is here to close the gap and shrink that great divide.
Tim Butler, Founder & Owner of Freelance Soul Professional Services, an unapologetically black male-owned grant writing and fundraising consulting firm. Headquartered in Tulsa, Oklahoma (Historic Black Wall Street), Tim specializes in working with individuals and entities from historically underrepresented communities and vulnerable populations (e.g. people of color, women, veterans, faith communities, LGBTQ+, those with disabilities, disadvantaged international organizations, etc.).
Tim has secured over $1M for startups, nonprofits, and social entrepreneurs through grants and corporate sponsorship. He has written grants for clients yielding them a return on investment as high as 35:1 (for every $1.00 the client spent with me I returned to them $35.00)! Moreover, Tim has worked with startups and small nonprofits helping them to secure their first ever grants and teaching them systems that created consistent funding.
He is a “Certified Nonprofit Professional” through the historic Nonprofit Leadership Alliance. Moreover, Tim is a “seasoned" Grant Writer who has been in the game for 15 years with a 93.75% success rate in my writing. He received his Community Development Certification from the Howard University Center for Urban Progress. While he is a licensed minister and evangelist with conservative Christian values, he also values diversity and inclusion and is passionate to give people a “seat at the table” who otherwise would never receive an invitation to the dinner.
Tim's Services Include: For-Profit Setup & Formation 501(c)(3) Setup & Formation Getting Organizations “Grant Ready” Grant Research & Writing Corporate Sponsorship Programming Consulting Board Training Grant Peer Reviewing & Editing Forever Grants

Oh yes. Those pesky grant writing qualms.
Here are the top questions that I get.
You can get funding for general operating expenses through 3 ways:
Pursue specific grants that target general operating Include a certain percentage of your general operating expenses within the direct categories of a grant project budget Include up to 10% of the grant amount in the indirect category in a grant budget
Yes! There is absolutely funding available! You can get that through the following:
There are certain U.S. federal grants that give specifically to nonprofits (both U.S. organizations based abroad and to non-U.S. nonprofits)
Certain foundations give out money to nonprofits around the world (think Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation)
There are many international funding sources, such as EU organizations, UN organizations, foundations, Canadian funding, etc.
That depends. If you are in college already and want to get college credit toward a degree this could be great. However, if you are not in college nor seeking a degree, then I would recommend taking a grant writing course offered by a grant writer that is in the field.
Such as my 6-Week Live Grant Writing Course or DIY Grant Writing Course wink-wink
But the fact is these courses can cost way less and take less time, but give you the real tips of how grant writers are actually winning grants!
Develop a relationship. A way to side-step the gatekeeper is to go on LinkedIn and start a relationship with decision-makers at the foundations.
But remember - don't go in blazing asking for money right away. Spend time liking their posts and making comments. Start sharing things with them that they may find interesting. And make sure they are a good fit. Does their mission statement align with your nonprofit's mission?
Ooh, I love this one. So first off you need to:
Give them a list requesting certain documents
Then have a Kick-off Grant Writing Meeting
Include the Executive Director, Bookkeeper, Grant Coordinator, and possibly an expert
Write down the deadlines and tasks for everyone

Anytime you’re trying to find the best-fit grants, it can be hard.
Because in the beginning, everything’s new. Things like figuring out the best grant search platform, knowing which grant programs are the best-fit, and knowing when to submit grant applications can be overwhelming.
And you can see that as you grow, you come up against new challenges.
Even if you have experience with grant writing already, you’re always looking for the 80/20. You don’t have time to waste, so you want to find the 20% that’s going to produce 80% of the results.
Well to know that you need to know what types of grants are out there. And there are 3 types of grants:
✔️ Federal ✔️ State Grants ✔️ Foundation
We discuss all of these in the podcast today!

In last week’s podcast, we talked about a process for creating award-winning grant applications.
I shared how this is going to immediately help you simplify grant lingo, so you feel less overwhelmed in Episode 140: Grant Language Made Easy.
So let’s get into the meat and potatoes of today’s video starting with these 5 Hacks to Write a Grant Proposal.
Okay, so when starting to write a grant application the first thing you need to do is:
I never start with a blank page because I copy and paste what it is in the FOA for the criteria directly into my Word document or Google doc.
To create a compelling case for a grant application, you need to provide statistics and facts. A flowery statement about how awful the situation might get some tears, but it will not get grants won.
The goal or goals in a grant is the overarching outcome. This needs to be clear for both you and the funding source. If you don’t have a goal then it will be confusing for both of you.
What is it you want to accomplish? What other community goals can you tie this into?
It might be: “To create safe homes for survivors of human trafficking in our region.”
This is important as it is the big picture.
The objectives are then what you can do to reach your goal. These objectives also need to be SMART, which stands for: • Specific • Measurable • Achievable • Relevant • Timebound
For example, an objective to reach your goal could be, “By the end of quarter one, to lease a 4-plex apartment building that will provide housing for 8 survivors of human trafficking.”
What other objectives do you think would be needed to reach your broad goal: “To create safe homes for survivors of human trafficking in our region?”
What about hiring services workers, buying housing consumables, linking to food pantries for food, workforce training, education services, etc.
You also want to include why the funding source should give you money. Include your board of directors or experience of the key employees to carry out the services of the project.
You can also include any experience the nonprofit has of winning grants or securing donations. This shows that you have credibility in managing funds.
Of course, you also must provide a request for the actual money via a budget. It is not enough to say you need $500,000. You need to show how that money is broken down.
I encourage you to include a spreadsheet (even if you copy and paste it into your Word doc).
I encourage grant writers to use the main categories of the federal government to include the following: • Personnel • Fringe Benefits • Travel • Contracts/Consulting • Equipment • Supplies • Other • Indirect

As you may or may not know acronyms are grants best-friends.
If you’ve heard the terms FOA, RFP, SAM, DUNS, or a number of other terms, then you are in the grant world. I once heard a grant writer speak an entire sentence using only acronyms.
Ugh! If you are overwhelmed already, don’t worry, I’m going to start breaking it down right now!
Let’s first dissect the main different types of grants and contracts. There are federal grants, state contracts, and foundation grants. Think of those like your three main hubs.
Federal grants are monies allocated from the federal government.
State and local government contracts often receive much of their funding from the federal government as they can promote economic efficiency due to localized knowledge to implement a program more efficiently and effectively than the federal government (i.e., pass-through funding).
A foundation grant is a monetary assistance provided to individuals and small businesses by companies, citizens, government, and non-government organizations. The money awarded as a grant is meant to meet particular needs and is not required to be repaid.
Which grants should your nonprofit go after? Well, the wide answer is all of them.

Navigating the road of freelance grant writing can feel lonely and overwhelming at times.
That's why I was so excited when Tawanda Ellis reached out to me via a mutual friend, Dr. Beveraly Browning. I was inspired to hear about Tawanda's roadmap and success as a freelancer. Honestly, the people who follow a roadmap normally do end up in the same place of success as Tawanda. But the type of person who commits to this is few and far between.
That's why I get so excited when talking to other freelance grant writers who have built a business out of their house and from their talents.
This lady has done precisely that, and I know you will be just as encouraged and inspired as I was!
Plus, you can download Tawanda's downloadable, the "Write it Out Method."
In this podcast and YouTube episode, we discuss: ✔️ How Tawanda got 25+ clients in less than 3 years with only word-of-mouth advertising ✔️ How she secured $2.8 million in grant funding ✔️ How she helps nonprofits come up with strategies ✔️ Why she started an additional business: MirrorMom360 ✔️ The reasoning behind her business names ✔️ The reflection time ✔️ The 'Write It Out' Method ✔️ Who is Tawanda Ellis?
Tawanda has a minority-owned business that trains government agencies, start-up nonprofits, and others with funding strategies. Tawanda is Owner & Principal Consultant of DNA 360 Consulting. She started DNA 360 Consulting because she loves helping nonprofit organizations make a bigger impact in their communities.

She’s worked with a variety of nonprofit, for-profit, and government organizations and with her team, collectively has decades of experience developing, managing, and evaluating programs and services.

There always comes a time when starting a business that stumps people. Creating the best name for your grant writing business is one of those times. Sometimes it completely throws people off the tracks that they never get back on and actually start their business. Don’t let this stop you! To help you navigate this process I have identified three different ways (and the pros and cons) to help you find the best name for you grant writing business. Using Your Name Pros: It is more personalized If you have a unique name it won’t be taken! It works for the 80% connection of social media (I am commenting on other people’s post, not a business name). It is easier to get started (you don’t need to spend months trying to figure it out) Cons: If you have a common name, you will need to add a little more in, i.e. “Holly Rustick Grant Writing Consultancy” If your name changes (get married, divorced, etc.) then your name shift can be difficult If you decide to dissolve your business, then you may need to rebuild your social media and website branding You can’t separate yourself from your business so easily Basic Company Name Pros: It tells the story very quickly of what you do; i.e. Grant Writing & Funding It is found more easily when people are searching online (i.e. someone looking for grant writing and my business pops up. They aren’t looking for my name, but for what I do). Cons: A lot of the popular super basic domain names; i.e. www.grantwritingandfunding.com, are taken It can feel a little sterile Some people forget to personalize their branding because their business name is what they do and not who they are (i.e. they use stock photos and not pictures of themselves). Whimsical Name Pros: It can be fun and exemplify your character You might be passionate about the words Cons: It can be too abstract that you won’t get noticed; “Wish Granted!” vs. “The Beginner’s Guide to Grant Writing.” It can confuse your ideal client because they won’t know what you do It can be cute to you, but hard to pronounce and doesn’t connect to other people

What is impostor syndrome? You may have heard this term kicked around on social media, podcasts, books, and more. But it is real. According to Very Well Mind, Impostor syndrome is defined as “the experience of feeling like a phony—you feel as though at any moment you are going to be found out as a fraud—like you don't belong where you are, and you only got there through dumb luck.”
Learn the five different types of impostor syndrome and how to overcome them in your nonprofit or freelance grant writing biz in this podcast!

Want to do me a favor? Please leave a review on this podcast!
Have you ever known deep in your gut what your dream is, but you aren’t currently living in it?
Or maybe you commit to living your dream but don’t even know where to start.
If you could sit down and have coffee with someone who turned $1,000 into $15,000 during the pandemic while helping others and working less, then would you?
Because today we are doing just that as we listen to how Dr. Omotola Akinsola as she shares all her secrets and how she overcame challenges.
But even if you are not looking to open a freelance grant writing biz, and you run a nonprofit, you will also want to catch this as she is going to spill all in how she has also continued to grow a thriving nonprofit after doing a needs assessment. Due to that, her nonprofit has served more than 8,000 students and teachers in Nigeria.

Check out www.grantwritingandfunding.com/135
Today’s Dr. Akinsola shares behind-the-scenes on: ✔️ How she grew up in poverty in Nigeria and followed her dreams in taking big risks ✔️ How the education strike made her start to do her own personal and professional development ✔️ Her Fab 6 heroes include: Nelson Mandela, Mother Theresa, and her parents ✔️ How she burned all her bridges to do the massive things she wanted to do ✔️ How and why she attended university in the States ✔️ Why and How she did a focus group before launching a nonprofit ✔️ How she opened a nonprofit in Nigeria while being a student in the States ✔️ How her nonprofit in Nigeria has trained more than 8,000s of students and teachers ✔️ When and how she opened her freelance grant writing biz; The Funding Magnet ✔️ How she created a product after talking to 300 nonprofits ✔️ How the Freelance Grant Writing Master Course changed her business and she 15X her investment within a matter of months ✔️ How she has diversified her streams of income ✔️ How she learned how to create passive income ✔️ How she learned her value and how to price ✔️ How a one-hour consultation helped her raise $5,000 for her nonprofit ✔️ How she realized she was wasting her time with dead leads and started getting clients with less drain

In this podcast you will learn how to get clear on who you want to serve as a freelance grant writer or nonprofit consultant, as well as what types of grants are best suited to you to write.
This is super important as serving all nonprofits isn’t always the best place to start.
Why not?
Well, it is hard to really market specifically, cultivate clients, and get experience and expertise in a certain field.
You may have heard that creating an avatar or ideal client is important in any business. That’s true – even in this business. You want to know what types of nonprofits you enjoy serving otherwise you might either take on clients that drive you crazy or have a hard time getting any clients because your message is too large.
• If you just don’t even know how to market, or • wonder why your clients drive you crazy and end up being WAY too much work, or • just aren’t sure why you are not attracting leads… it could be due to not creating a niche market.
This podcast will help you get clear on your messaging and show you how to gain more clients while focusing on less.
In the Freelance Grant Writing Master Course, I go over this in more detail and quizzes so you can get clear on specific niches.
But today’s episode will definitely help you get clear on your niche market.

If you are a freelance grant writer / nonprofit consultant: ● You might be paralyzed with going after funding because you just aren’t sure what to do. ● You might not want to pitch your services because you are nervous asking nonprofits for money right now. ● You aren’t sure what types of grants and funding are available.
If you are a nonprofit leader or development coordinator: • You might have put off applying for grants because you aren’t sure what projects you want funded • You might have been focused on getting PPP and CARES Act funding and put the grants to the side. • You might just think the Feds aren’t funding regular grant programs right now.
This podcast episode will address all these three items and you will learn the following: • The current grant environment • Where to find grants • Why charging clients is acceptable or if you are a nonprofit how to pay for help
This will help you to be competitive in the current funding arena and gain new clients if you are a freelance grant writer or nonprofit consultant, or help you stand out in the crowd and move forward in sustainable funding if you are a nonprofit leader.

Being stuck in decision paralysis is real. This might be because you have made the 'wrong' decision before or you aren't sure about the future and how it will all turn out.
Honestly, either of those reasons feeds into your decision paralysis, but digging a layer deeper is more important and effective.
It's knowing not just what your values are, but in what order you follow your values.
For the month of June, I am giving you some amaze-balls strategic planning action steps to follow. Last week I shared the 4 Reasons to Expand (Not Grow) Your Nonprofit or Freelance Consultancy. We will continue how to not just survive the pandemic, but how to thrive utilizing basic action steps.
Keep listening if you resonate with one of the following:
Nonprofit Leaders and Freelance Consultants: This is for you if:
✔ You are not sure where to even start with pivoting your organization in the new normal ✔ You take on projects sometimes that you want to avoid completing and aren’t sure why ✔ You have a really hard time making decisions
As we follow through on the series this month, we are doing to discuss how to know when to cut your expenses in order how to expand.
For this podcast, you will learn how to do the following: 1. List all of your values for your nonprofit or business 2. Evaluate them and see if they really are the main values Brainstorm new values (check out www.grantwritingandfunding.com/125 for more ideas) Read them out loud and see if they are action words and have emotional meaning for you 3. Prioritize your values 4. Look at your products / services and see if there is something that is not congruent with your values and needs to be strategized or cut.

Just what is the difference between growth and expansion, and why should I think about this half-way through 2020?
One of the best ways I have heard the difference is:
“Growth is doing the same thing bigger. Expansion is using the current platform to develop other areas of business.”
However, I’d like for you to think of expanding also as a mindset and as an action. The way I am talking about expanding here is the opposite of constricting. Expanding is key. Therefore…
Nonprofit Leaders: This podcast is for you if: ✔️ You are not sure where to even start with pivoting your nonprofit in the new normal ✔️ You do in-person events and fundraisers and now need a different way to get income ✔️ You are overwhelmed by putting out virtual fires every day instead of focusing on GROWTH for your nonprofit
Freelance Consultants: This is for you if: ✔️ You aren’t sure if you should close the shop ✔️ You need to figure out a new way to get clients ✔️ Your expenses overwhelm your income
So if you want to move forward and expand your nonprofit or your consultancy, but just aren’t sure how to do that, this podcast is for you. Press play…

If you are a grant writer, or aspiring grant writer during this pandemic, you probably have some questions.
That's why I asked Dr. Beverly Browning and Rodney Walker to join me on the live, virtual stage so we could answer your questions!
Here are some questions you asked and we answered:
What have you taken away from some of your failures in not getting a grant for a client if any? What grant funding certification body would you recommend for an aspiring grant writer? I seem to be frequently caught between not having enough income when my client level is down, to being overwhelmed with too many at once for one person when I ramp up my outreach. But this doesn’t happen consistently enough for me to hire anybody. How have some of you balanced that? What advice do you have for someone just starting in the grant world (one grant written)? How do you show your worth for potential jobs with little to no experience?
If you want to hear some feedback on these questions AND MORE, be sure to listen to the podcast!

I know that nonprofits are struggling right now because of event cancellations and all of the changes that come from the circumstances of Covid-19.
As we move forward in this unstable time, we can find peace and calmness in the things we can control, and much needed relief in letting go of the things we can’t control.
I am here with encouragement! There’s actually a huge influx of grant funding at this point in time. The federal government in the United States as well as foundations and corporations have acknowledged the overwhelming need for organizations and small business, and they are releasing funding streams.

Do you know the difference between research and evaluation? Or can you describe what a logic model is used for?
This may seem like simple nuances, but not when you are writing a grant! In a grant application, the evaluation section can be up to 30 points! That is a lot when considering to be in the final running, your grant normally needs to score 93+ points.
Dr. James Pann is on the podcast this week to break down the differences between evaluation and research, how to find someone to write the evaluation section, and what a logic model is.
This is a must-listen for those who want to tighten up their grant writing skills!

The nonprofits you work with (or the nonprofit you work at) need to not only look at grants, but also other funding sources. Yes, grants can be awesome, but the fiscal health of a nonprofit should not be fully reliant on grants.

If you are tired of tracking grants in Excel sheets or jumping around on Google and constantly missing out on deadlines, then Instrumentl might be what you are looking for.
I met Angela in November 2019 at the Grant Professionals Association annual conference. After she showed me some of what Instrumentl can do, I asked her to be on the podcast! Eek, it was like she was reading my grant writing mind of how I want grant research presented.
But what really intrigued me is that Instrumentl is a women-owned business, developed by women who actually worked in the nonprofit arena and faced some of the same overwhelming issues in grant research as all of us changemakers. Then they coupled with (ahem) another woman in the tech industry to work grant research magic. Love it!

Self-care is vital! But how do we do it?
I’d love to hear your ways, so if you have some great ideas, please send me an email at holly@grantwritingandfunding.com!
1)Plan your week in advance
Self-care isn’t just doing nothing, but it is being intentional with your time. If you live in a big rush of overwhelm every week having huge projects that never end, then it is time to start creating your time.
Believe me, if you do not sit down once a week and plan out all of your strategic blocks of time to get those projects done, they won’t get done. They will be on your to-do list for waaaay longer than you want. And by being on your to-do list for so long (with little to no forward movement), then they become big looming monsters that grow in size. Just the thought of them starts to stress you out and overwhelm you.
Instead, give that goal an end date and then work backward week-by-week writing down one step toward that goal you can accomplish and schedule it in your planner. If you goal has a hard deadline then it makes it easier as you know exactly where to work backward from!
Don’t overthink this step. Just sit down for an hour once a week and schedule out your entire week. Even your schedule for the gym, picking up the kids, buffer time in checking your email and even downtime.
2) Say no more than yes You have your week scheduled so you know what your bandwidth is. But I also know that life happens and sometimes you stray off your best-intentioned schedule. There’s a party you didn’t know about, your kid gets sick, you have a migraine one day, there’s a storm, etc.
That’s why it is important to factor in buffer time and move forward in at least one step on each project per week rather than waiting for the last week to do it all! (Yes, guilty at doing that at times). But as Robin Arzon says, “No is a complete sentence.”
She’s right. It is easier to say no when you are in the habit of planning your time! The thing is if it isn’t a complete, “Heck, yeah!” it should be a no.
That is a good indicator. If you aren’t truly excited about it, then you are going to dread doing it and nobody wants that energy.
But even before the “heck, yeah” comes out of your mouth, what you should say is, “let me check my planner and get back to you.” Because you need to see what your bandwidth allows. I even schedule my volunteer work in my planner because it is a part of my load.
Now when people ask me to volunteer for additional items, I know that my volunteer time is already filled up. I don’t even tell them I will check my calendar, my answer is, “my plate is already full.”
3) Listen to your body Sometimes you do need that day off! I know that I like to hustle hard. I love to fill my schedule and accomplish big audacious goals. But sometimes, I need a day off when it isn’t planned.
My body’s way of telling me to slow down and take an unintentional day off is giving me a migraine. Yes, I believe that our bodies are smarter than our minds with survival. And my body is like, here is a migraine to make you go lie down and take a nap.
Of course, I can’t always do that, but most often I don’t have a choice. I know it’s going to be a day that I will get a massage and an early night to sleep and that if I push through my work won’t be that productive anyway. But the next morning, after a massage and an early to bed night I am 110% slaying my projects.

Are you looking for ways to increase money for your nonprofit, or nonprofits that you work with, that doesn’t include funding from grants?
Diversifying streams of income for nonprofits is vital. Many clients, especially start-up nonprofits, may think that grants are the only type of funding that they can get.
Today, you are going to learn many ways of creating products for your nonprofit. These ideas may help your nonprofit bring in extra revenue that is for operational funds.
Why Nonprofit Products Sell
You might say, “Ugh. Not another t-shirt for sale! We are competing with millions of others. Why would anyone buy our product?”
The truth is that consumers are spending their money more and more these days, on items that make a difference. Consumers are realizing the power and voice in how they spend their dollars.
We’ve seen a huge shift in the #shoppingforgood movement where consumers are comparing brands and shopping for items that are actually impacting the world in good ways. We see the reflection of how consumers are shopping with this conscious shopping in mind, especially among millennials.
A really cool online platform is called The Good Shop, where you can shop online for thousands of brands and then choose where you want a portion of the profits to go. These nonprofit causes are vetted and show transparency. It is pretty cool!
What Products Sell: Ideas for Goods/Products
Backpacks / fanny packs Business Card Holders Coffee mugs / Flasks Cookies / Baked Goods Sweatshirts and sweaters Food Truck! (What, yeah!) Hats and caps Jewelry Luggage Tags Notebooks Phone covers Purses Stuffed animals / plushies Tote bags T-shirts Wallets
How Products Sell
Start Small You’ll want to start small and test the market. Instead of investing thousands into a food truck or converting a kitchen into a commercial kitchen, maybe you test your cookies on a small scale first. Test out what types of cookies sell and unique recipes.
Do a survey Put together some product ideas and ask your followers or community what they like and would purchase! This can easily be some mock-ups of different items and price points. If they won’t buy, make sure you ask them why not without badgering them. The feedback will help with your business design!
Get Start-Up Capital There are 5 different ways to get capital to help you with developing the products: Pre-Ordering, Corporate investment, Small Business Administration, Grants, and Crowdfunding campaigns.
Now is a great time to create products for your nonprofit. Consumers want to engage with your branding and to shop for good reasons. They need clothes, so why not advertise their ethics on their clothing? This will also raise the reach of your branding as often clothes with a great message or interesting logo can start conversations which lead to sharing the nonprofit’s mission.
Please share your different product ideas by tagging us @grantwriting_funding on Instagram!

Today, I'm going to discuss 5 different ways that your nonprofit can make some extra money!
1) General Services: According to MissionBox, a fee-for-service approach for nonprofits is defined as “nonprofit uses its earnings to support its mission and prioritizes benefit to the community over profits. Your organization can grow financial sustainability with a fee-for-service model.”
2) Memberships I see a lot of 501(c)6 nonprofits utilizing the basic membership service approach. For example, a Chamber of Commerce, Lions Club, etc. may charge individuals, nonprofits, and corporations a fee to enjoy the membership of the organization.
3) Tuition Fees This is commonly associated with universities, but you could also think of this if your nonprofit is (or can!) offer any knowledge sessions.
Nonprofit colleges and schools do charge tuition fees! Just because it is a nonprofit college doesn’t mean it is dirt cheap tuition fees, either!
4) Speaking Engagements / Appearances Your executive director, people who serve on your board of directors, or even some of your volunteers probably have amazing stories!
Of course, all won’t necessarily be offered a financial contribution to be speakers, but some might be. Building up to speak at national or international conferences can include a nice side income. But even speaking at local trade associations or chambers can produce some money.
5) Renting out Space Does your nonprofit have a building or physical space? Are you utilizing the space at all times? Well even if you’re not, your are paying for rent 24/7! If you aren’t utilizing the space at all times, you may consider renting out some of that unused space! You could rent out to other nonprofits or individuals to run workshops, AA groups, training, or even baby showers!
Maybe your office is closed on the weekends, but a smaller house church would love to rent out your conference room on Sundays? Or maybe you have a beautiful garden area outside (or real quick want to create one!) and you can rent it out for weddings or photoshoots?
Don’t forget to grab the FREE downloadable from last week’s episode!
Next week, we will discuss developing goods/product ideas for nonprofits to sell that can help bring in even more funding!

Do you feel like earning revenue for your nonprofit or the nonprofit you work with is REALLY difficult? Do you feel like there is NO money left? Are you tired of only going after grants for revenue or approaching the same darn corporate sponsors as every other nonprofit?
These may be signs that your nonprofit, or the one you are working with, may not be healthy when it comes to funding. But the fact is that most nonprofit executive directors, and many boards of directors, don’t have MBAs or know how to operate a business.

You must include the following in your table: Description of the activity, Lead person who will be responsible for the activity, Start date of the activity, End date of the activity, and Measurement of success.

Imagine a board member has just been elected to you board. You can literally hand them over the bylaws, and they should know their role and expectations on the board.
So, you know your bylaws are like individual laws, but what do these laws do? Your bylaws can help:
(Get the FREE Downloadable Template: https://www.grantwritingandfunding.com/bylaws)
Number of board members: The number of board members is recommended to be odd in case of a vote. Having no less than three members and no more than 15 is typically but do check your State requirements.
Office Seats and Roles: Describe each office seat (Chairman, Vice Chairman, Secretary, Treasurer) and their specific roles.
General Responsibilities of the Board: Duty to hire, fire, appoint officers, agents, or employees of the organization.
Duration of Elected Seat: I recommend at the very least to have staggered elections.
Non-compensation of Board Members: Including a non-compensation policy for nonprofit board of directors is advised.
Conflict of Interest Policy: Having a clause that board members will recuse themselves from voting on any potential conflicts of interest is vital.
Have a Specific Number of Meetings Each Year: All board members are required to attend meetings! But how many? Do they have to be in person?
Types of meetings: Do you have regular meetings? I recommend quarterly at the bare minimum, but ideal is monthly. Just imagine if you only have quarterly meetings and someone misses one meeting; they are essentially missing six months.
Annual meetings: An annual meeting is generally when boards have their elections for the board of director offices, report on activities of the organization, and get prepared to outline strategies, goals, and projects for the upcoming year.
Special meetings: Include that special meetings may be called from time to time and who is able to call the meeting. Often this is the chair, the Executive Committee, etc.
Notice of Meetings: It is vital that all your board members are reminded of meetings.
Quorum Having quorum means that there are enough members present at your meetings to make decisions.
Fiscal: Make sure you include the fiscal year of the board.
Amendments: Include a clause that these bylaws can be amended, if desired, and what is the process.
Of course, these are not the exhaustive list of bylaws, but these are my top recommendation to include!
Developing Articles of Incorporation is the next step in filing with your state and getting your nonprofit established. Now, every state is different, and you can visit your State’s nonprofit resources (link on www.grantwritingandfunding.com) to get a link for different state requirements. Sometimes states have very basic Articles of Incorporation to easily fill out in their own format, but for many you have to develop your own. For this podcast, we are going to give a basic outline of Articles of Incorporation.
If you would like to download a free copy of this, please visit https://grantwritingandfunding.podia.com/article-of-incorporation-template.
Why do you need Articles of Incorporation? 1) Articles are required for starting a tax-exempt nonprofit organization. 2) Articles will also give your nonprofit guidance in how it should operate.
As you will most likely have new board members come on from time to time it is good to have guidance for the structure of your nonprofit.
Articles of Incorporation act like a constitution for your nonprofit.
They give the governing requirements.
For you grant writers, you may get asked to help start nonprofits. I know I get this request quite often, so it is good for me to have a Nonprofit toolkit and to have a template to work from!
I am going to give a basic outline to formulate Articles of Incorporation for you nonprofit in the podcast. Now is your time and get to your computer to type up this outline or if you would rather a downloadable Word doc, please visit https://grantwritingandfunding.podia.com/article-of-incorporation-template to get your downloadable.

Establishing an IRS Tax-Exempt 501(c)3 nonprofit status is imperative to setting up your nonprofit for funding success.
Most foundations and federal agencies require this status when awarding grants. Furthermore, this status will help your nonprofit establish credibility as donors will feel confident that you are not a crooked fronted company looking for easy dollars. Don’t get me started! This tax status will also allow private donors and corporations to receive a tax deduction! Therefore, this should be a first step after you have created your board of directors and articulated the needs that your project will fill.

A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) can strengthen your grant application in the eyes of a funding source.
It demonstrates a strong, committed partnership to ensure the project can and will happen as it is laid out in the proposal. This commitment gives security to all the partners involved as well. Plus, MOUs are frequently REQUIRED when submitting grant applications and can be scored!

Hi Changemakers,
A Letter of Inquiry is a gateway to funding. This Letter of Inquiry, not to be confused with Letter of Intent, can be the difference between a foundation accepting a full application from your nonprofit or shutting you down.
These are 10 steps to Write a Successful Letter of Inquiry that will secure your Invitation to Apply for a Grant
You will normally find requests for Letters of Inquiry from private foundations. Basically, they want to get a snapshot of what your nonprofit is all about before they consider inviting you to share more in a full proposal. Just because there is tons of money out there, doesn’t mean you should apply to every single foundation in the world.
Be succinct. No flowery prose here. Be logical and make sure you include an objective, goal, and budget. Do not use cute, flowery, or whimsical language. Save that for your blog or journal.
Include the date you are submitting at the top of the page, as well as the person’s name and title of who it should be addressed to (find a NAME – never just write ‘To Whom it May Concern’), and the address of the foundation. Utilize the good ole' fashioned, “Dear NAME of PERSON”.
Unless otherwise required by the foundations you will include steps #3 through #9. Your opening paragraph is where you get the attention of your reviewers from the foundation. Keep this paragraph very short. Do not explain the need and how you will roll out the project, yet.
You’ve already stated what you need, now state why you need it. Give a few stats to back up the need. Try to utilize stats or surveys that are within the previous five years.
Explain your goal List the objectives List the activities List your partners
What are the main outcomes? How will you evaluate this?
The last part is where you get to explain why your nonprofit is a rock star. Tell why your nonprofit is the best to carry out the activity.
Most funding sources would like a snapshot of the budget. If you have space include a little snapshot of a graph of the money.
Provide a ‘Thank you’ and appreciation for the reviewer’s time. Also include a contact name, email address and phone number.
These are the 10 steps to completing a successful Letter of Inquiry. The other thing is by doing this Letter of Inquiry you really have to get clear on your project. The 15-page grant will feel like a cinch after doing this Letter of Inquiry!

In any case, even if you haven’t sat down and did your planning yet, or even if you have, you are going to want to listen to this episode. This is a snapshot of one of the modules from the Strategic Planning Course. It is one that the nonprofits in the group got really excited about and will give you excellent tips on:

Are you Frustrating your Volunteers?
Here are 8 Ways to Recruit and Retain Volunteers for your Nonprofit.
Volunteers can provide help, support, and manpower for nonprofits. However, does your nonprofit have the necessary processes in place to take full of advantage of your volunteers?
Many nonprofits I have come across understand the importance of volunteers and even WANT more volunteers, but unfortunately are not organized enough to really utilize volunteers well for their nonprofits.
You may be confusing and even frustrating your volunteers if you relate to one of the following: • After a volunteer starts, you realize it is more work for you to organize yourself to give the volunteer tasks to complete • There never seems to be enough work for the volunteer, but you seem to be still as busy as ever • Your volunteers do not stick around for long • You never provide appreciation days or incentives for your volunteers • You do not include your volunteers as part of your nonprofit morale or culture • You have no idea where all the volunteer forms are • You want to get a bunch of grant money, but you have nothing in place to mobilize volunteers
I get it. You might be a small or start-up nonprofit and your limited staff are wearing ten hats each as it is. But if you want to grow, then it is important to take the time to get organized and prepared for people to help you.

Here is the thing.
It takes focus to write a grant. But the real thing that it takes is a project. If you do not have a specific project that you know you need funding for, then it’s like trying to paint a picture with rocks.
It will be sloppy, awkward, and unprofessional. The grant reviewers will know that you are just trying to make something work and are trying to fit a square into a circle.

You’ve put your heart and soul into it. You may have lost sleep. You definitely missed the latest Breaking Bad episode. Or you paid a grant writer a hefty sum.
For all of that, what you got was a mass email that started with the lines, “We regret to inform you…” Your heart plunges and you decide to write off grants for the rest of the year… or for the rest of your life. You might have at some point said, Enough with that foundation / federal grant. I’ll never get it. I get it. Nobody likes rejection, especially after they put so much time or funding into writing a grant. Nobody likes to see their much-needed project swatted away and not even given a chance.
This isn’t always a bad thing. What?! Holly have you lost your mind? Okay, it’s not the best scenario (I’m not that much of a Pollyanna), but it’s not all lost time, energy, and moola.
Listen to today's episode to hear 10 Ways to Embrace Grant Rejection. This will make you WAY less frustrated. Believe me.

In today’s podcast we will talk about what the GDPR is, why it doesn’t just effect the EU, what the impact is on nonprofits and on grant writing consultants, and give you some free downloadable templates.
Now, some of you may be scratching your heads when I mention GDPR. Although, if you are in the EU, then you have probably been running around like it’s Y2K. Remember the turn of the century panic? Yep, I hear it’s a lot like that.
But chances are, you have seen an increase of emails in your inbox over the last week with companies or people asking you to check a box giving them permission to email you or asking if you’d like to remain on their email lists. This is all due to the new European regulations or GDPR.
The pure IT nature of this regulation makes it a global concept at the very least. Rashmi Knowles, chief technology officer at RSA Security states that “GDPR is interesting because it is the first time that the EU is exporting regulation. In the past, everything created by the EU applied to the EU. Now we have this regulation, but it is going to apply globally. If anybody wants to use the data of EU citizens or consumers, they have to comply, so it is exporting privacy rules to other countries.”
In today's podcast you get great tips on how to be GDPR compliant for your nonprofit or grant writing company, plus free privacy policy templates, and links.

Today I am going to explain the functions offered on the Grants.gov website and give you my favorite tools.
This is great information for you grant writers or for those who aspire to be grant writers.
The reason I am breaking down Grants.gov is because it is a mammoth website for federal grants, and being such, it is very busy. I have been going to Grants.gov for years but tend to stick to looking for grants and applying for grants. So I decided to dive in and find out the full capacity of the website, so all of us grant writers might actually use it.
Let's check it out!
Do you feel overwhelmed when it comes to running a nonprofit or working with nonprofits?
From figuring out how to start a nonprofit to wondering how to engage your board of directors, working with nonprofits can feel overwhelmed.

“Obscurity is a bigger problem than money,” quotes Grant Cardone and this could not be truer when it comes to finding grant funding sources.
If these funding sources are hidden away in some obscure world to your nonprofit, then this becomes the main root of not having any grant money.
If you cannot find the sources that hold the money, then you will never be able to tap into the funding.

To find grants, it is first important to understand what they are and what they are not. Let’s start with what they are not. Let me say this very clearly.
1) Grants are NOT free money. I mean, sure if you handle them correctly it is money given to you that you do not have to pay back. Holly, how is that not free money? Well, because you have to spend the money on what you said you were going to spend it on, reach the objectives you stated you were going to reach, and send a report to the funding source on how you will achieve all of this.

First you will want to know what the needs are (through the Needs & Strengths Assessment), identify potential projects, and then evaluate those projects and refine your objectives.
Don’t get scared by the term “Data Management Plan” which sounds super academic. Basically what this means is that you need to show:
Why you are getting information? What are your project goal(s) What are your objective(s)/ data elements? What information do you desire? What data needs to be collected? Who collects the data? How will the data be collected? What is the frequency of the collection of data? Where will the data be stored? Why will this data be useful? Who will you share this data with?
That sounds like a lot, but it makes sense, right? Just think if you were to hire someone to do this job or if you assigned this role to an existing employee or peer. You could hand over this Data Management Plan and they could run this initiative.

“Why should I evaluate a project and why we even talking about that before we just start the project?
Can’t I just make the project happen and then look back at it and give my review of it worked or didn’t work?”
I hear these types of questions when nonprofits may just want to move. Heck, I asked these same sorts of questions when I was just starting out as a grant writer myself.
When we are all pressed for time and ready to go this may seem to make more sense, the ‘do it imperfectly and get it done approach,’ rather than spending a bit more time planning. I get it.
I understand sometimes the ‘over planning’ and ‘too-many-meetings’ syndrome. But projects that will really make a great impact to meet the numerous needs in your community aren’t a simple blog post to just get done imperfectly and publish online to move you forward.
Projects have deeper repercussions and should have a major impact on your beneficiaries to initiate change. Setting up and Evaluation Plan is vital in the success of how you will meet your desired goals and make real change in your community. This podcast will give you the roadmap on how to do that.

Where to begin.
You have the information of what the need is in the community, now it’s time to establish what your team needs for the the specific project.
If you found that there is a huge need for transporting clients to services, what do you need to help overcome the transportation barrier?
Would it be possible to create an Uber-like project?
By establishing local or regional programs in areas that are easily accessible, giving out bus passes, creating a carpooling activity, connecting with the local transportation system, implementing more online courses, etc?
Let's look at how to identify projects and how to manage those projects...

Annual planning is where it’s at. “Where what is at?” you may be asking.
Well, ‘it is the amazesauce productivity that exists for those super successful nonprofits that make you want to drool or cuss at, in trying to understand how they do it.
Either way, close your mouth, and realize that you can have the ‘it’s’ too. You can be that super successful nonprofit that others drool or cuss at, by implementing actions. Before you hop up and down, let me tell you nothing crazy successful happens immediately.

Sometimes nonprofits exist inside a vacuum. This is not conducive for sustainability, let alone the chance of survival.
The things is, partnerships are resources. Partnerships can literally make the difference between your nonprofit being able to pay the bills or have to shut down. There are different types of partnerships, but all are extremely valuable.
● Comprehensive Service Partners ● Corporate / Funder / Donor Partnerships ● Beneficiary Partnerships
I'll be talking about each one of these partnerships in this podcast, as well as how they can increase your funding and resources!

Is your nonprofit stuck in survival mode?
Planning is key, but taking the time to do it is where you need to start (refer to Episode 15 to see how to set a schedule). Once you have taken the time and have reviewed your previous year, it is time to set your goals, objectives, and activities, so you can go from struggling to thriving.
So what the heck are the differences between goals, objectives, and activities?
Goals are the overarching, comparable to a large globe of aspirational destinations you want to reach. Objectives are the tangible flights or boats on how you are going to reach those places. Activities are how you do the day-to-day work of saving up for your trip.

Lead generators, oftentimes known as free opt-ins or email list builders, are essential for nonprofits.
Online businesses have this down to a T and use lead generators on a regular basis.
Lead generators are catching on in the nonprofit sector and websites, but some of you still may be saying, “Lead-what?” Just what is a lead generator?

Oh boy. That’s right. It’s time to address it. The big W. Your Website.
This episode is a nonprofit’s crash course on different types of websites, how to communicate your brand, and what you should NOT do on your website. Nonprofit websites, in particular, can be a little overwhelming and are known for being the cause of one too many headaches. With the prevalent combination of tiny fonts, non-contrasting colors, and a scream to “Give! Give! Give!” with no clear vision of why one should give or an easy way on how to give. ARRGH!
We are going to go into the overall approach to your website, give some tips on how to get the traffic it deserves and reveal ways for visitors to take the call to action that you provide. It doesn’t matter if you use WordPress, Square Space, Wix, or any of the other countless web platforms that are available. The formatting that we are going to discuss will work for them all in providing a better way to communicate your brand.

So why do this fancy analysis?
Well, it is very important to conduct an analysis of what stage your organization or company is and where you want to go. This is especially true when you have a new administration come in, or if you are expanding and growing.
For instance, your organization may get some new grants and expand to a different target demographic. Or you may launch a new product to expand your reach and generate more income.
Maybe you just haven’t really analyzed your programs and projects for several years and the workflow and projects are stagnant. Or possibly you could have a high turnover rate of staff and want to mitigate unforeseen or foreseen changes.

What is your why?
Or more specifically, what is the why of your board members, employees, volunteers, and beneficiaries?
This question may seem like a no-brainer until you actually try and answer it.
Is your organization, or the nonprofit you work with, challenged by poor governance, a high turn-over staff rate, or disgruntled beneficiaries?
It may be due to not asking these four questions that explain what your why is.

This section of the grant is where the magic happens.
Once you know your problem statement (listen to the previous podcast), you can figure out clear objectives, goals, and outcomes.
This is the backbone of your project.
A grant is like a big jigsaw puzzle, and this section is really the backdrop and what guides you to be able to find and connect each piece of the puzzle. It’s the part of the puzzle that is the backdrop fence or the house with the clean line you use to connect the pieces. If you have your objective, you will be able to formulate a budget, implement activities, and solve your problem (and build your house).
In this segment, you will learn how to write clear goals, S.M.A.R.T. objectives, and measurable outcomes. Additionally, you will also learn how to implement your goal, objectives, and outcomes through the process of an action plan timeline.

The ideal grant team is comprised of the lead grant writer, the budget lead, the grant coordinator, and any potential specialists.
The executive director should really oversee the process and be involved in the design process, but he or she should ultimately be someone whom you report to, who reviews the grant, and may be the one who submits the grant.
We will talk about the process in the podcast and identify your team!

"So, when I get a grant I can just spend money on anything?" Er, no.
No, you cannot.
In this podcast of Grant Writing & Funding, we will go over 'the why'. It's time to stop adulting and be a teenager again.
Okay, what is a grant?
Most of you probably already know what a grant is. But let’s get into the nitty-gritty for a second.
A grant is money given by an organization, most notably by a government, for a particular purpose.
Here, I would like to stress the words “for a particular purpose” because, if you get a grant awarded and then spend the money on something else, you are not acting in good faith and may have to return the money. I want to spend another moment here to really drive this point home. Even though you may think, “Of course! I got this!”, you really need to understand this point.
An organization, agency, or person has monies and a vision for those monies. When you apply for these monies, your vision must align with their vision.
Having a clear understanding of how to think about grants is very important.
When you are looking for and writing a grant, keep the metaphor of the teenager/parent relationship in your mind’s eye. This is a great idea for when you are formulating your needs, objectives, and evaluation sections.
Another thing is that it is so important to spend money on what you said you were going to spend it on.
If you need to change any spending, then you may have to ask for a budget modification.
What? Okay, let me explain. Grants may allow for a certain percentage of money to be shifted from one main category to another. Note: I did not say to newly devise categories but pre-existing approved categories.
If you do want to shift some monies around, the contract should specify what the percentage allowances are that can be made without pre-approval or what percentage requires approval or is not allowed at all.
If you are scratching your head, just go ahead and call up your grant officer from the agency that awarded you the grant. For example, a grant may allow you to shift 10% of the entire budget between line items without requiring a formal budget modification. But, once again, this is between line items that have already been approved.
In any event, I would still let the grants officer know what you are doing to allow for transparency.
Some grants are so small that they don’t allow for many changes at all. Again, keep the teenager/parent relationship scenario in mind. Funding sources want to think the best of you. Just like many teenagers may need to prove that they are trustworthy to their parents, organizations must prove themselves trustworthy to funding sources.
Remember when all else fails, A grant is money given by an organization, most notably by a government, for a particular purpose.
