Don’t put the cart before the horse; ensure your organization is grant ready before reaching out to funders! Most funders won’t consider a grant application without the essentials: organized financials, clear program descriptions, an active board, and strong community engagement.

We can help lessen the stress of grant writing, giving you back time and energy to focus on your mission!

When a single individual's ideology dictates the editorial stance of a major news outlet, it underscores the pressing need for nonprofit news models that prioritize journalistic integrity over personal agendas. #ick #jeffbezos #nonprofitnews www.freepress.net/blog/jeff-be...

Grants? Hard to get. Donors? Burned out. Meanwhile, the need for services? Sky-high. #NonprofitStruggles #FundUsLikeYouMeanIt #SupportNonprofits #GrantWriting

#Nonprofits are at risk - between the populations they serve and the upcoming legislation that may impair funding, they need your help now more than ever. nonprofitquarterly.org/how-states-c...

The worst is when they want you to bow down to them because they think they are truly saving the world but really they are apart of the problem #nonprofitindustrialcomplex #nonprofit #grantwriting

Sometimes, nonprofits get discouraged because they aren't winning grants fast enough. But on average, 1 in 10 grants get funded, underscoring the importance of diversifying your funding strategy.

I read a book today—one I bought over 5 years ago. Books don’t have deadlines—they wait for you, patiently, until the moment is right.

Two stages of writing: 1) This shouldn't take too long 2) Oh no

At the end of the day, don’t we all just want a bookshelf with a rolling ladder?

And as a result, #nonprofits have to perpetually apply for grants to do work that the government should be doing for the people.

So disappointing to see.

I think adults should get a personal pan pizza for reading books too

H.R. 9495 threatens the work of nonprofits by imposing harmful restrictions that weaken their ability to serve our communities. Nonprofits fight for equity, justice, and systemic change—they deserve our support, not policies that undermine them. Help stop this bill: nonprofitaf.com/2024/11/urge...

Most of the time, the nonprofit can make a larger impact with a direct donation.

Spread the word. The nonprofit sector in the U.S. needs to be prepared. "A bill that would have allowed the government to strip tax-exempt status from any non-profit it deemed to be supporting “terrorism” was narrowly blocked in the House on Tuesday evening." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...

It’s really pretty cool that one thing you can do to support people you like is ask your local library to get their book because it doesn’t cost you anything, it helps them, and the librarian gets to know someone actually wants to read a book and not just use the computer for Roblox

Ethical storytelling in the nonprofit sector is essential for respecting and empowering the people whose stories are shared. Instead of focusing on the nonprofit as the hero, the narrative should center on the individuals' strengths and abilities.
