    Grant Writing & Funding

    This show is for grant writers who are working in nonprofits or already have a few freelance clients but haven’t replaced their nonprofit income yet, and don’t have a clear system to get there.

    You already know how to write grants. Now you need to build the business.

    Each week, you’ll learn how to find and close better-fit clients, price and package your services, create predictable revenue, use AI strategically, and build a freelance grant writing business that gives you more income, flexibility, and freedom.

    Hosted by grant writing expert and bestselling author Holly Rustick, CEO of Grant Writing & Funding and Founder of the Freelance Grant Writer Academy, the show draws on Holly’s 20+ years in grant writing and the nonprofit sector and 14+ years building her own business.

    You’ll learn how to:
    Price and package your services to easily land clients
    Find grant writing nonprofit clients that pay you
    Build consistent monthly revenue
    Market yourself as a grant professional and business owner
    Use AI and modern systems for your grant writing and business without becoming replaceable
    Create systems that allow you to work fewer hours as you grow
    Holly’s students have collectively generated more than $12.5 million in their own freelance grant writing businesses and secured more than $300 million in grants for their clients.

    Lead generators, oftentimes known as free opt-ins or email list builders, are essential for nonprofits. Online businesses have this down to a T and use lead generators on a regular basis.

    Oh boy. That’s right. It’s time to address it. The big W. Your Website. This episode is a nonprofit’s crash course on different types of websites, how to communicate your brand, and what you should NOT do on your website. Nonprofit websites, in particular, can be a little overwhelming and are known for being the cause of one too many headaches. With the prevalent combination of tiny fonts, non-contrasting colors, and a scream to “Give! Give! Give!” with no clear vision of why one should give or an easy way on how to give. ARRGH! We are going to go into the overall approach to your website, give some tips on how to get the traffic it deserves and reveal ways for visitors to take the call to action that you provide. It doesn’t matter if you use WordPress, Square Space, Wix, or any of the other countless web platforms that are available. The formatting that we are going to discuss will work for them all in providing a better way to communicate your brand. Favor, please?

    Why your nonprofit needs a website and not just a Facebook page

    You can have the most awesome nonprofit or business in the world, but in this day and age, you need that awesomeness to be reflected online. And by online, I don’t just mean social media or a mediocre URL.

    Do you still have a website that was created in the early millennium? You know the one that I am talking about. It is crammed with information in small font and looks more like a brochure than a website. I see this a lot, especially with nonprofits. Instead of communicating a unique mission, skill set, or storyline, beneficiaries are given a standard impersonal message.

    They find themselves led through a maze of Error 401 pages and outdated events. Completely devoid of the services and projects that they offer, presented in a color scheme bound to give the browser a headache.

    The Five Main Reasons your Organization Needs a Website and not just a Facebook Page:

    • Your organization will own the website, whereas social media can change or shut down at any moment.
    • A website creates credibility for your organization.
    • Your website will communicate your branding more efficiently.
    • Your donation/fundraising campaign can be hosted on your website.
    • You can collect emails through your website by offering value.

    Next time we will look at different types of websites, how to communicate your brand, and what you should not do on your website.

    ✨✨ Visit www.grantwritingandfunding.com to get the proven G.R.A.N.T.S. formula to write winning grants ✨✨ So why do this fancy analysis? Well, it is very important to conduct an analysis of what stage your organization or company is and where you want to go. This is especially true when you have a new administration come in, or if you are expanding and growing. For instance, your organization may get some new grants and expand to a different target demographic. Or you may launch a new product to expand your reach and generate more income. Maybe you just haven’t really analyzed your programs and projects for several years and the workflow and projects are stagnant. Or possibly you could have a high turnover rate of staff and want to mitigate unforeseen or foreseen changes. Favor, please?

    It’s time to talk about the money. The budget. The good news is you don’t have to be a CPA to write a budget. You do, however, need to understand budgets.

    In this podcast, you will learn how to write a consistent budget and budget narrative in the format that grant reviewers appreciate. You will know which category to put each item of your budget and how to calculate costs.

    This section of the grant is where the magic happens. Once you know your problem statement (listen to the previous podcast), you can figure out clear objectives, goals, and outcomes. This is the backbone of your project. A grant is like a big jigsaw puzzle, and this section is really the backdrop and what guides you to be able to find and connect each piece of the puzzle. It’s the part of the puzzle that is the backdrop fence or the house with the clean line you use to connect the pieces. If you have your objective, you will be able to formulate a budget, implement activities, and solve your problem (and build your house). In this segment, you will learn how to write clear goals, S.M.A.R.T. objectives, and measurable outcomes. Additionally, you will also learn how to implement your goal, objectives, and outcomes through the process of an action plan timeline. Favor, please?
