Introducing the Grant Writing Simplified Podcast where I'm stepping up to help freelancers and nonprofit leaders maximize their impact and change the world. Grant writing is one of those “mystery fields” that everyone kind of knows about, but no one seems to really know WHAT it really is other than a way to get money for free. As you can guess, there’s a lot more to it than that.  I’m here to break it down for you into practical takeaways to help you understand the purpose and strategies behind successful grant writing.  Today I'll share my grant writing journey with you and explain how I transitioned from special ed teacher into a grant writer and nonprofit consultant. I also want to encourage you to consider how your background can relate to grant writing.
