#135 | Grants Aren’t the Problem, Unprepared Organizations Are W/ Jessica Wright
Too many organizations say, “Grants don’t work for us.”
But what if the real issue isn’t the funding, it’s the foundation?
In this episode of The Contagious Culture Podcast, Kyle connects with Jessica Wright, a grants expert and strategist who pulls back the curtain on why so many nonprofits and schools struggle to secure grant funding and how to change that.
This conversation unpacks:
The biggest myths leaders believe about grants
Why strategy and infrastructure matter more than perfect writing
What funders are actually looking for beyond a strong mission
How unprepared organizations unintentionally disqualify themselves
The systems, clarity, and culture needed to become grant-ready
Jessica shares practical insights leaders can act on immediately, helping organizations move from reaction to readiness, and from chasing dollars to building sustainable funding ecosystems.
If you’re a founder, executive director, school leader, or board member who wants to stop blaming the grant process and start strengthening your organization, this episode will reframe everything you think you know about funding.
