You might not realize it, but if you are a staff grant writer at a nonprofit you may be working in a very toxic environment.

And it might not be the ‘fault’ of the nonprofit per se, but the system.

This is a golden podcast episode for you today, to see how to still serve nonprofits as a grant writer, but to create a healthy working environment.

Tune in today.
