The Grant Glow Up
Where the Grants at?!
Before we can demystify how to write and manage grants, we first need to acknowledge how difficult it can be to locate grants. All too often we are told 'just join x and y list serves', but those can be predatory, even charging you to view RFP information that is already expired, you are not even eligible for, or that is invite only.
Blah blah what a waste of time
In today's episode I share 3 of my alternative practices for finding where the grants at, because they have to be somewhere!
The short and sweet of it:
1. Build your own list of funders to periodically check
2. Credential creeping - check websites/marketing of similar organizations/projects for who their funders are and then check out those funders for their funding sources, and soon a web is formed of potential grants
3. Table Time - where are funders and potential partners spending their time? events/ trainings/ community forums? How can you partake, reach out, begin relationship building so you're in the loop of future funding opportunities because you're not on funder radars
If you'd like a template or for me to dive further into any of these, let me know!
