116: Covid 19 Funding, Grants, and Loans for Nonprofits & Freelancers
✨✨ Visit www.grantwritingandfunding.com to get the proven G.R.A.N.T.S. formula to write winning grants ✨✨
I know that nonprofits are struggling right now because of event cancellations and all of the changes that come from the circumstances of Covid-19.
As we move forward in this unstable time, we can find peace and calmness in the things we can control, and much needed relief in letting go of the things we can’t control.
I am here with encouragement! There’s actually a huge influx of grant funding at this point in time. The federal government in the United States as well as foundations and corporations have acknowledged the overwhelming need for organizations and small business, and they are releasing funding streams.

112: How to Write a Successful Evaluation Section in Grants with James Pann
✨✨ Visit www.grantwritingandfunding.com to get the proven G.R.A.N.T.S. formula to write winning grants ✨✨
Do you know the difference between research and evaluation? Or can you describe what a logic model is used for?
This may seem like simple nuances, but not when you are writing a grant! In a grant application, the evaluation section can be up to 30 points! That is a lot when considering to be in the final running, your grant normally needs to score 93+ points.
Dr. James Pann is on the podcast this week to break down the differences between evaluation and research, how to find someone to write the evaluation section, and what a logic model is.
This is a must-listen for those who want to tighten up their grant writing skills!
