I am back from a fantastic vacation to Vegas. I took my 23-year-old son and 8-year-old son to the Lenny Kravitz concert, and it was everything I expected and much more. We explored Vegas from Tuesday to Friday, so now I am working hard to meet those October 31 grant deadlines. 🙂
The flight from Atlanta to Vegas is 4+ hours, so I ordered a new (to me) grant book for the trip. Since Holly Rustick’s Grant Writing Freelance Academy was open for enrollment in October, I figured I should read her book.
I was THRILLED to see how many Write Epic Grants subscribers enrolled in the academy! I can’t wait to hear how it goes.
​(If you missed the enrollment period, you can join the waitlist here.)
If you don’t have time or funds for the academy, but want to learn from Holly, The Beginner’s Guide to Grant Writing is a comprehensive grant writing book.
I like Holly’s approach to grant writing because it is similar to my approach- maximum output for minimum time expenditure. I like to travel often. I don’t want to work 40 hours each week, so I need to be efficient.
In her book, she talks about organizing the grant team and creating systems. A support team ensures that the organization is “buying in” to grant funding, supporting the process, and implementing the awarded grant programs.
Holly also talks about how to formulate S.M.A.R.T. goals and the book is FULL of templates and checklists to help through the entire grant process. I am in the process of onboarding a few new clients, and I plan to use the templates to quickly gather information.
​The book ​costs less than $20 and arrives in a few days. I highly recommend it if you need some guidance and structure with your grant writing.
Until next time,
