How Can I Get Started with Novice Grant Writing & Peer Reviewing?

As the old saying goes "it's not about what you know, it's who you know". Volunteering is the start of expanding your network. Be honest with the Executive Directors/Nonprofit Leaders, they know you're new and will makes mistakes so they will cut you some slack and give you feedback.

Video Transcription: That’s why I feel like for a novice grant writer is your best bet. Just finding someone or a program that’s willing to say, “hey, I know you really don’t know anything about it. Let me tell you what I know or if you buy this course, it’ll have all the information you would need in order to make yourself successful.” As you [Rebecca] mentioned before, if you get a “no” I look at that as not right now.

Bridging the Gap: How Can I Be the Bridge?

Just like Sherlock Holmes, be the bridge to solving the case by looking for clues. You are the bridge between the funder and the organization - your proposal can make all the difference between getting your organization funded and not funded. How will your grant make a difference? How will your grant change the world? Or how will your grant improve the world?

Video Transcription: Bridging the Gap, you’re literally the bridge between that organization that needs funding and the funder themselves, then you bring them together. Also, if you don’t have the right proposal, unfortunately, you won’t get funded. Again, it’s about being persistent, it's about saying “okay, if they reject me what do I do? Or how do I make it better?” And, you can ask them –that’s the beauty of it. If you make a mistake, you can always ask what you did wrong and they will tell you how to fix it, then you can re-submit the same grant at the next cycle.

How Can I Get Connected to the Funders?

Unfortunately, in the grant world if the funder doesn't know you well enough then you won't get funded. Without connecting to the funders, you limit your chances. Get to know them What would you rather have: A grant that takes months to get funded? Or a grant you can practically get funded overnight?

Video Transcription: A grant writer has to make sure you are connected with the funder, build relationships with the funder and get funding that way.
