Hello fellow writers!

Hi there! As you might have noticed, this is a new blog, but I am super excited to have started to share what I know about writing grants and designing programs for non-profits. I also want this space to share about writing, reading (maybe we could do a book club or share some book recs), and words. I have over 20 years of experience working in government agencies and non-profits in rural America. I fully understand the need for non-profits, churches, and civic groups to fill the service gaps in rural communities. The benefit is those writing these grants and designing the programs are in the trenches, seeing firsthand the scope of work that must be done. That passion can make amazing projects come to life and drive true impact.

I realize this process can seem daunting for someone who has never written a grant. Let me help! Please read and interact with the blog enough to get the assistance you need, and please share with anyone else who could benefit. However, I do offer consulting services and an entry-level grant workshop for small groups if you need additional help. Sometimes, it just takes a good brainstorming session to get the ball rolling.

I hope you don’t find my writing and approach too casual; I do enough formal writing that I don’t want to do that here. Feel free to let me know if there is anything you would like me to address. I really like this to be an interactive blog that is fun for me but helpful to you.

Talk soon, wordy friends.
