Grant Writing & Funding

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. Favor, please?

Welcome to Part I of The Five Main Parts of Writing a Grant. Today we will be looking at your nonprofit organization. Do you have everything prepared in advance so that when a grant comes around you are READY? For instance, is your tax-exempt 501(c)3 accessible, do you have a bio for all your board members and staff, and do you know all the grants your organization has received and in what year? In 25 minutes Holly will take you through the entire process of what you need to have prepared and how to prepare it. Oh, and sorry about the cold! I might have lost my voice a bit. :( ✨✨ Visit www.grantwritingandfunding.com to get the proven G.R.A.N.T.S. formula to write winning grants ✨✨ Favor, please?

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 thes
