• Duke Peebles says: Hello, My wife and I are researching opportunities to open a non profit orginization that will include buying tax forclosed homes and turn them into affordable housing for saving neighborhoods to fill a much needed gap. We are looking at our best options and came across your information. We understand that we will be competing against others. We will be different because ours will house its own bank loan officer, mortgage broker, and real estate agent. We will also introduce programs to help clients short term and long term goals to help make their transition lasting. Ms Project Management Software 2007 Free Download.
Our question is: Is it more effective to ask for a grant writer to write for us, or is it more prudent for us to write this grant ourselves. Thank you, Duke & Deb Peebles • Sandra Sims says: Duke, If it were possible for you to work with an established nonprofit it may have several benefits for you. It sounds like you have not completed the set up of the organization, the 501c3 federal registration. This takes months and in many cases, years, to finish. The 501c3 must be received from the IRS, or you have to work under the umbrella of another organization before you can apply for any grants. If you partner with an established organization, your work with foreclosed homes would be classified as a project. Often foundations will be more likely to fund grants for projects under an existing nonprofit than they are to fund general operations or new organizations respectively.
As for hiring a grant writer, I would recommend first learning as much yourself as you can about grants and grant writing. Creating a case statement and vision for the project will help shape your work and communications, not just grants. A grant writing class or book will give you a good introduction.
Grant applications vary greatly in complexity. You may find some that are fairly easy for you to complete yourselves. Others you may wish to hire a writer to help you with. Always have a third party review your application before sending it in so that you are be sure that the message is consistent with what you want to convey and to avoid typos and other errors. • laurie davis says: hey just wanted to say thanks for the inside look and hints!!! • Kim says: I network with a lot of non-profit organizations and this is some great information to pass on.
• Veronique says: I am currently working on expanding our re-entry program to include youth who are ex-offenders and also those who have parents that are ex-offenders. I am having a very difficult time finding grants that are currently available that will cover this audience.
Any siggestions, have already checked juvenile justice services and obvious agencies. • Joyce Howze says: Thank you Sandra, I will be using your information and think of you each time I do so with a appreciation. I recently lost my job and now will attempt to offer my services as grant writer and consultant to small rural communities and non profit organizations. I would like to be a certified professional grant writer, I took two grant writing classes in Auston at the Hogg Foundation but all I have is a certificate of completion.
Do you have info on the programs that are official and offer educational porgrams for a reputable grant writer/administrator certification? • Pamela Grow says: Joyce: I am not a huge fan of grant writer certification programs. Then again, I differ from the traditional mindset in that regard. AFP has the CFRE certification and the American Association of Grant Professionals has a grant-writing certification program I believe. I do not do any form of government grant proposal writing, focusing solely on foundation and corporate grant applications. In that aspect, I’ve learned a lot from simply reading good books – How to Write Knockout Proposals: What You Must Know (And Say) to Win Funding Every Time by Joseph Barbato and Storytelling for Grantseekers by Cheryl Clarke are two of my favorites (as is anything written by Mal Warwick).
If you can imagine a foundation program officer sifting through a stack of 15 proposals, each one reading like the last, you’ll recognize the need for learning to craft a COMPELLING case statement – for truly learning how to engage the reader and bring them into your organization’s mission. Best to you & happy New Year!
• Sandra Sims says: Thanks for the comments Pamela. You make a great point, it’s the quality of the proposals that count. I would think that if you have successfully secured one or more grants that adds more to your resume as a grant writer than a certification certificate. • Jacob says: Thanks so much.

Because last and only time I tried I realized I need so much information FOR the sponsors, which I would never use for the project itself.

What is your experience?
