Want to add a skillset, move up within your agency, or pursue a dream of becoming a grant pro, or start a nonprofit?
WORKING IN A FOR-PROFIT BUSINESS? If you want to make a change, or make more of a difference with the work you do, maybe nonprofits are for you. If you have a mission, something you are passionate about, something that moves you, maybe nonprofit work is a way to be a part of what you want to change in the world.
Grants are a great way to acquire the support for the cause you support. Working in grants for a nonprofit would be a culture shift from the for-profit world, but would bring more meaning to what you do 40 hours a week. Winning grants and getting money to support a mission you believe in is really rewarding. I’ve made the shift myself, and my work brings me peace, happiness, and it invigorates me. You too can make that shift, and the Unlock-Grants course can help.
ALREADY WORKING IN NONPROFITS? A lack of knowledge about grants and grant writing may be holding you back in your career. If you’re working in nonprofits but want to do more — know you can do more — becoming proficient in grants can be a step to advance your career. Perhaps there’s an open position at your agency but grant writing skills are required. Without those skills, you’re out of the running and the position is filled from the outside.
Or perhaps you want a position within a larger nonprofit but lack the needed grant writing skills. Even if you want to make that change, the ad states “grant writing experience required” and you’re not qualified. You can change that with the Unlock-Grants course.
STARTING A NONPROFIT? You see a problem in your community and you have a passion for solving it. Starting a nonprofit seems like the natural next step. Well, it certainly takes energy to start a nonprofit, and passion and drive. But diligence, mindfulness, and patience are what’s called for in becoming, and staying, Grant Ready. Check out my Online Grant Readiness Assessment to see all of what it takes.
Once your new nonprofit is Grant Ready, then knowing how to write successful grant proposals could certainly help you get programs off the ground, pay staff to implement them, and fulfill your mission. Become proficient in grants with the Unlock-Grants course, and take advantage of the ONE YEAR of weekly live group calls to field your questions and review your draft grant proposals.
So you see, the Unlock-Grants course has a ton of applications. And what I’ve shared here are just some of the ideas that have bubbled up. Can you see the Unlock-Grants course working for your nonprofit, consulting group, or foundation office? Contact me to explore what options we can come up with that work for your situation.
