In this episode of the "Grant Writing & Funding" podcast, host Holly Rustick is joined by guest Yvonne White-Morey, a successful grant writer. Here are the key takeaways from their conversation:

1. Yvonne shares her experience with the Grant Professional Mentorship program and how it has positively impacted her grant writing business. She emphasizes the value of the program in providing resources, templates, and a supportive community.

2. Yvonne offers valuable tips for grant writers and those interested in starting or growing a freelance grant writing business. She highlights the importance of understanding the grant writing process, developing relationships with funders, and leveraging resources like the podcast's Book Club.

3. The discussion delves into Yvonne's personal journey in grant writing, shedding light on her motivation and how she got started in this field. Listeners gain insight into her passion for helping others and her dedication to supporting nonprofits in fulfilling their missions.

4. The conversation also touches on the implications of artificial intelligence (AI) and large language models in the grant proposal process. Holly and Yvonne discuss the convenience these technologies offer but also raise concerns about overwhelming foundations with an influx of proposals and potential biases in AI-based application evaluations.

5. Yvonne provides insightful advice on handling grant rejection. She encourages listeners not to give up and emphasizes the importance of seeking feedback, building relationships with funders, and improving proposals based on constructive criticism. She highlights the potential for rejected proposals to find funding elsewhere with proper adjustments.
