Are nonprofit jobs really as stable as they seem?

In this episode, Holly breaks down a perspective that might surprise you—why freelance grant writing can actually offer more financial stability than traditional nonprofit roles.

We dive into how nonprofit salaries are often impacted by funding fluctuations and how inflation continues to affect wages across the sector. In contrast, freelance grant writing can provide more control over your income, allowing you to diversify clients and increase your earning potential.

Holly also shares insights into how much freelance grant writers can realistically earn in a year, along with the flexibility and freedom that come with running your own business. From setting your schedule to scaling your services, freelance grant writing offers benefits that go beyond income—including autonomy, work-life balance, and long-term sustainability.

If you’ve been considering making the shift or want to understand the financial realities of both paths, this episode will give you a clear and empowering perspective.
