The 3-min quiz doesn't open up.

Hey @jennifervanhyning4359! I'm not sure if there was a technical error, but the link is working now. It should take you to our quiz page. What's caught your eye about grant writing?

[@kourtnie3609]

The collective sounds great but I looked today it’s like $500 PER MONTH to join..yikes 😬 that’s more than a country club and they include a golf course with the membership

[@arinto55]

I did the same thing and found out I'm not too hyped on grant writing. I would recommend checking out other grant writing courses to see if it's something you would be interested in. The Shiny Object Syndrome is real.

[@kourtnie3609]

@@arinto55 I agree. They also share a lot of good info with the free online classes so I’ll keep my 500 thanks lol.

[@LearnGrantWriting]

Can you elaborate on the yikes for you? Is it bang for your buck or a reservation that you wouldn't make your money back? Building on your analogy, yes, a country club with a golf course sounds nice and probably has a high membership fee, but a country club isn't a return on your investment. Nor does a country club teach you how to build a business and 10x your initial investment in learning how to write grants.

[@LearnGrantWriting]

I agree that you need to find a course that works for you to see if grant writing is a good fit. We have a free minicourse in grant writing as a way to dip your toe in. Ultimately, you'll never know if you like grant writing unless you actually give it a go.

[@LearnGrantWriting]

Definitely soak up all you can for free, but the DIY way only gets you so far when you want to do this work effectively and not burn out.
