With all the news this week about the federal grant freeze, many of you may be wondering:
“Is grant writing even going to be needed during this Administration?
Can I even get grant writing clients during this Administration?”
I get it. There is a lot of commotion this week surrounding federal grants (we've been keeping track of it - follow me on LinkedIn or Instagram for more updates).
But…what I also know about Administrations AND grant writing, is…yes, you can secure grants and clients during this Administration and for the many more Administrations to come.
Why am I so sure?
Because I have written grants for the last 21 years and have been through:
-MANY Administrations,
-A worldwide Pandemic,
-AI,
-Inflation,
-And more…
all while supporting myself with my grant writing skills and business.
Grant writing is a skill that’s been around for a long time.
And if the week has shown us anything, it is that grants are a large part of the U.S. economy that supersede any Administration.
And nonprofits are the fastest growing sector in the U.S. economy.
Your clients might lean into areas that aren’t a priority for the current Administration.
Will you maybe need to write more foundation grants or corporate solicitations? Maybe.
Will you need to lean into Strategic Planning instead of writing a federal grant? Maybe.
Plus, the federal government is NOT the only place where you can find grants. MANY of our Academy students only write non-government grants (Foundation and Community grants).
Once again this depends on your cause area and type of organizations you work with.
Right now nonprofits need your ability to pivot and write HIGH-QUALITY grants so they can focus on running their missions.
Inside the Freelance Grant Writer Academy, we teach you how to write high-quality grants and how to sell your grant writing services during any Administration.
Academy students are still securing grants AND clients - even during this week.
The doors are open to the Freelance Grant Writer Academy until Sunday, Feb. 2nd. Join now to Replace Your Full-time Income, on Flexible Hours, Writing Grants from Home.
