If you’re a grant writer—or aspiring to become one—especially during times of uncertainty, you probably have a lot of questions. That’s exactly why we brought two powerhouse experts, Dr. Beverly Browning and Rodney Walker, together for a live, virtual Q&A session to tackle some of the most common (and real) challenges grant writers face.
In this episode, we dive into lessons learned from failed grant applications, recommendations on grant writing certifications, and how to navigate the ups and downs of client workload—from having too few clients to suddenly being overwhelmed.
We also explore practical advice for beginners just entering the grant world, including how to build credibility with limited experience and how to confidently demonstrate your value to potential clients or employers. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to stabilize and grow your grant writing business, this episode is packed with honest insights and expert guidance.
