What is your Halloween costume? I'm giving y'all a sneak peek of my exclusive Halloween Costume; I’m stepping out as a Grant Writer, which is scary 😂 Costume includes: Anxiety, 20+ tabs open, 4 cups of coffee a day that only fuel the anxiety, a good dose of delusion that every grant will get funded, and the pure grit needed when multiple funders pick the same deadline date. But if you want to be a grant writer outside of Halloween… it comes with a price. 😉 Here are a few things that help me keep it all together: -Prioritize Deadlines: Keep a clear calendar and start early—sometimes funders love the same due date. - Instrumentl: Essential for discovering, tracking, and managing grants without endless tabs open. -Embrace Rejection: Not every grant gets funded, but each one teaches you something. -Stay caffeinated and calm: Coffee is helpful, but deep breaths are key! -Delusion is just optimism in a costume. *Drops mic 🎤* Ready to jump into the grant writing game?

Wearing multiple hats = More personal growth and opportunity 🧢 Hear me out—the chance to wear multiple hats at an organization comes with the opportunity to develop new skills, take on diverse responsibilities, and demonstrate experience in many areas so you are well-positioned for future promotions or career paths. On the other hand, it requires excellent time management and organizational skills to stay on top of everything, or you risk being burnt out or spread too thin. Here’s how I do it and the tools that make it easier: 📱Social Media & Newsletters: I use HubSpot to schedule posts, send our e-newsletter, and plan our content calendar. 📝 Grant Writing: For grant proposals, Instrumentl helps me stay organized by tracking deadlines, finding opportunities, and managing the entire grant application process (linked below if you want to try). 🎤 Event Planning: Planning events like the annual JASON National Conference involves a lot of coordination. I rely on monday.com and Google Workspace to manage tasks, assign deadlines, and collaborate with the team. Having the right tools in place makes all the difference in managing my time and responsibilities and helps me avoid being overextended. What hats do you wear in your role? How do you prioritize your varying tasks and ensure quality work? 🔗 https://lnkd.in/ethbj6Q8 #NonprofitLife #PersonalGrowth #Adaptability #GrantWriting #EventPlanning #SocialMedia #Organization #Timemanagement #beInstrumentl #ProfessionalGrowth

Grant research is the foundation of any successful grant proposal. Without it, organizations risk leaving funding opportunities on the table. While a simple Google search might uncover a few suitable grants, relying solely on this method can limit your options. Utilizing a robust grant research tool is essential to identify all available opportunities for your organization. One of my favorite tools is Instrumentl, which not only streamlines the research process but also quickly pairs you with open RFPs. Investing time in thorough grant research can significantly enhance your chances of securing funding and advancing your mission. DM me to learn more about Instrumentl and start a free 14-day trial.
