Learn 2 Key Grant Writing Steps - In Less than 1 Minute

1/18/2018

While teaching grant writing at UCLA Extension in 2014, I was one of five instructors selected to appear in a marketing campaign for the Nonprofit Fundraising and Leadership Certificate Program. They produced at least four videos of me presenting information about grant writing. Each one is 1-3 minutes each. If you will take a minute ... actually, only 59 seconds!

U.S. President, Abraham Lincoln was my inspiration for what I share in this clip. In less than a minute, you can learn two important things required for success in grant writing. Here's a link to the video-->http://bit.ly/2DQQKIc.

As you watch this short clip, see if you can identify the two important things mentioned. This is an example of the easy-to-understand approach that The Grantbuilder takes to help individuals to learn and master the knowledge, skills and tools needed to get grants.

What Does a $10K Grant Have to do HIV-AIDS and a Deck of Playing Cards?

Years ago, I was a boardmember at a Los Angeles area nonprofit that was focused on maternal and child health services for low-income women. With HIV/ADS running rampant among the target population, it was important to include HIV/AIDS education into the programming.

I had an idea for a creative HIV-AIDS education prevention project that was out of the ordinary. Instead of creating another typical brochure with information that would either be ignored, or tossed in the trash. I thought a deck of customized playing cards would be a unique way to present information about HIV/AIDS.

The Grantbuilder 5-Step, 10 Building Blocks process was used to secure a $10,000 grant from the State of California, Office of AIDS, for a nonprofit organization that was involved in HIV-AIDS outreach.

The nonprofit printed 2,500 decks, which their staff and volunteers distributed at various events in the Los Angeles area. THIS IS THE GRANT WRITING SYSTEM COVERED DURING EACH FREE WORKSHOP!

This is an example how "out-of-the-box" thinking resulting in a "health" grant being used to create a deck of playing cards. As you can see, the cards serve an educational function as well as providing contact info for more information about HIV-AIDS.

The Grantbuilder system teaches you to think "out-of-the-box" to make your grant applications stand out among the competition.

Again, if you know of others who may have interest in learning about the grant making process, please pass along this information.

Have an INCREDIBLE week! ... and stay in touch.
