Grant Writing & Funding

Knowing how to write grant applications is an essential technical skill in the nonprofit sector—but what happens when funders add layers of constraints that make the process even more challenging? In this episode, Teresa Huff of Grant Writing Simplified joins us to break down common frustrations in grant writing, from strict character limits to navigating funder expectations and misconceptions about proposals.

We also dive into how to align your proposals effectively, find the best-fit grants through research, and handle rejection when grants aren’t awarded. Teresa shares insights from her own journey into grant writing and offers practical advice to help you determine if grant writing is the right path for you—and how to succeed despite the constraints.
