Hey thanks for this! For whatever reason googling "What does a grant writer do?" doesn’t just give you a straight answer. This was the simplest explanation I found and should be higher on the search algo.
Hey Shannon! Thanks for your interest in our grant writing course. You can take our free grant writing training here: www.learngrantwriting.org/grant-writing-training/ Let us know your thoughts!
Grant writing is kind of our jam! We've def got a course I think you'd be interested in. Can I send you some details? In the meantime, I 100% recommend carving out 20 mins to see what breaking into this industry without prior experience looks like in this video here: www.learngrantwriting.org/become-a-paid-grant-writer/
My nonprofit is applying pro bono for a large US government economic development grant. Is there a method specific to USG grants for correlating desirable outcomes and size and varieties of pitches? Ask prior winners, ask elected/appointed officials, etc.? Or is it all seat of the pants? Also, how the heck do you work with Adobe Acrobat, required by the Feds? What a wonderful package of software...except if you use a Mac! How did _that_ happen? I have a hunch....
Hey Bob. Assuming the grant is through the US Economic Development Administration, those are big bear grants. We have done several. Make sure you are giving yourself plenty of time to apply. Build a relationship with the funder contact in the NOFO. You might consider forging a partnership with a local municipality to improve odds of winning. If you are looking for training and coaching support, you might consider joining our Global Grant Writers Collective.
Do grant writers usually have a specific certification for this type of career? Especially if you wanted to freelance or start your own grant writing business
Great question. There are certifications out there, including one through the Global Grant Writers Collective, that I'm happy to send you more resources on if you're interested. More important than the paper is putting what you learn into practice, which is where most certifications fall short. What interests you about freelance grant writing and starting your own business?
@@writersnook4409 That's awesome! A background in writing lends beautiful to a grant writing career! Are you interested in getting more training on grant writing?
We're seeing AI as an incredible tool in the world of grant writing. Something to do the heavy lifting and let humans stay in their zone of genius. You can check out more on that in this video here: ua-cam.com/video/-fB2UpKbESM/v-deo.html
