  • Practicing nonprofit grant writing? I break down a real-life successful grant proposal here! #Nonprofit #Fundraising #GrantWriting
    I've shared tips for nonprofit grant writing in past videos, but in this video I tried something a little different: React to an actual successful grant proposal from a real nonprofit organization!
    I hope you find this educational and helpful as you practice your own nonprofit grant proposal writing.
    ALSO: My NEW training, Find and Grow Your Funding, is now ready to help you create a sustainable fundraising plan for your nonprofit! Check it out at foundertofulltime.com/

    Happy Tuesday. Thank you so much for this information. The proposal was good, and your feedback was excellent. Adding headers and sections to the proposal would make your proposal stand out. Maybe they should have added a few more success stories to the proposal. I hope to retire after 30 years in the child welfare system. I am strongly thinking about starting a non-profit organization, for parents with special need children. My son has special needs, and I wanted to give back in an impactful way. Thanks again ❤

    I have been struggling for quite some time in writing a grant. When I viewed your video, I began to realize the structure of the letter. Thanks so much for your patience in explaining the steps used in the letter.

    Great information, Amber. Especially about the headers and placing the request in the first paragraph.
    The one thing I’d likely do differently is adding bulleted benchmarks for the program so the successes or challenges are more measurable. This does a few things, as you know: Keeps the org on track to live out the Grant properly; let’s the foundation see succinctly what’s deemed a success; and finally, it helps breakup the narrative so the eyes see a different flow.
    Great information, once again. Thanks!

      It was also cool to see your reaction to a real emotional trigger in the beginning. #empathpower

    Great video thanks! I've seen mostly grant proposal writers working with evaluation and data analysis to understand the organization and its current program to develop a grant proposal. Is this the work you do? What are your thoughts on this? Thanks! VB

      That's one way to approach things, surely. Storytelling is another - combining those two (storytelling and evaluation) is super powerful!

    God bless you, my name is Alvaro Ibarra, I live in Guatemala, due to the current crisis in our countries, I had to self-employ myself as a self-employed vendor in neighborhood stores, I sell different products with which I bring a plate of food to my children, I do not have a fixed salary and sales are very low these days, I would like to start a small business selling pizzas on the street with a small oven, or Mexican cakes with a gas griddle but what I earn is not enough for me put together and start one of these small businesses and have a more stable income for my children, that's why I beg if some kind person would give me a little help with the minimum to
    put together for the iron I would appreciate it with all my heart.
