“We do not have to become heroes overnight. Just a step at a time, meeting each thing that comes up, seeing it as not as dreadful as it appears, discovering that we have the strength to stare it down.” ― Eleanor Roosevelt
Writing a grant between December 21 and January 5 isn’t fun: vendors are on vacation, the c-suite has limited access to communication, and you don’t want to bother your teammates. Work hard over the next two weeks, especially on the grant attachments (financial projections, quotes, letter of intent, testimonials).
To get to the next level in grants, you can join the next Advanced Grant Writing Course – intentionally build your master grant application.
Have an amazing week!
