She does this in some very simple steps! If you are wanting more donors, supporters, influencers, etc. then Instagram is a great social media tool for your nonprofit to leverage. But at the end of the day, you don't want to get sucked down the rabbit hole and get hung up on likes or followers. Conversion is the most important key for any social media platform to be effective.

Oh yes, I just typed the F-word. Yep, that one that makes most grant writers shiver in their sleep. No, I am not cussing. But maybe this word should be a bona fide swear word. Free. I know it haunts you. It’s interesting that as a grant writer your skills can have one of the biggest impacts on increasing funding for nonprofit organizations, however you will still be serenaded by nearly every nonprofit (not to mention individuals looking for that magic grant to fund a college degree) to write grants for free. This has always puzzled me. Grant writers have technical writing skills to find and secure funding and in many cases millions of dollars for nonprofits. However, many organizations seek out grant writers and some guilt them into writing for free or giving away all their knowledge at no cost. Here’s the thing. There is a time and place for the F-word. Yep. Free can be a pathway at times, but not all. You might be wondering why you don’t get paid well when you see those hundreds, or millions of dollars come in. Or you might be wondering how in the world you can make it as a grant writing consultant as you feel like no nonprofit can pay you for your services. Side note: Nonprofits can, do, and should figure out ways to get money and pay for your grant writing services. If you are in a position where you get an amazing wage or charge well, then kudos for you! But I wanted to address this issue as I have seen way too many grant writing consultants play jump rope over the ever-changing line of boundaries, not sure where to land or how to stop jumping. I was once there. Check out the entire article and links at http://www.grantwritingandfunding.com Thanks for listening!
