“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit.” – Aristotle
Dear CEOs and Leaders,
You and I have been around long enough to see this truth play out: in grants and finance, planning can reduce a lot of stress.
Are we required to be the most organized person? No.
But in grants, this Gazette will show you that just a little bit of planning can make 2026 a much better economic year for your organization.
Be the leader this year who submits grants that are open right now.
If you’re a Grant Gazette Pro member, be the leader who finds that grant that your board or boss had no idea even existed.
Finally, I know we have several Gazette readers in Germany right now at AGRITECHNICA 2025. Have a great show and grow your business globally in 2026.
Sincerely,
David Kincade
