July 30Why This Grant Writer Struggles to Celebrate $500K in Wins
Ashleigh was managing a $24M+ grant portfolio in her FIRST YEAR — so why did it take her months to actually believe it? We sit down with Ashleigh Salas, an in-house grant writer with zero mentor support who still managed to secure 4 awards totaling $500K and submit 11 applications totaling $4.8M — all in year one. But instead of celebrating, she found herself fighting imposter syndrome, "faking it till she made it," and struggling to believe the numbers were even real.
Ashleigh opens up about:
✅ How she built confidence with no in-house mentor to guide her
✅ The "baker in a pie contest" metaphor that changed how she sees her role
✅ Her "Valley of Despair" as a recovering perfectionist breaking into a new field
✅ Why she left social work for grant writing — and how she knew it was right
✅ Landing a brand-new remote role by getting clear on the life she wants
If you're a first-year grant writer wondering if your wins even count yet — this one's for you. Want to learn more about the Global Grant Writers Collective? DM us on Instagram!

Most grant proposals don't get rejected because of bad writing — 😱 they get rejected because the funder doesn't know who you are. In this video, Meredith breaks down the two real reasons proposals get passed over and what grant writers can do about it. If you've been rewriting the same proposal and still not winning, this one is for you.
