Staying Ahead of the Curve: Reflections as a Certified Grant Writer

Three years ago, when I became a certified grant writer, I quickly recognized a major issue: the overwhelming lack of preparation within organizations seeking funding. It didn’t matter how historic or impactful the organization was—many were simply not ready to secure or sustain funding. Everyone wanted access to grants, but few were willing to invest the time, resources, or effort required to position themselves for success.

For two years straight, I dedicated myself to hosting grant-writing workshops aimed at addressing this gap. These workshops weren’t just about teaching technical skills; they came with resources and actionable strategies to help organizations prepare for the competitive and often complex process of securing funding. I also focused on creating connections—bridging gaps between organizations, introducing them to government ties, and helping them access decentralized networks to strengthen their operations.

This work became particularly crucial in light of the policy changes that were unfolding under the Trump administration. While federal priorities shifted toward privatization and tax cuts for the wealthy, I knew that underserved organizations—many of which serve Black communities—were at risk of being indirectly affected by reduced funding streams, cuts to social programs, and weakened civil rights enforcement. Whether we liked it or not, these changes were happening. My mission was to ensure that the organizations I worked with didn’t just survive but thrived by staying ahead of the curve.

I urged organizations to understand that preparation was non-negotiable. Federal funding was no longer guaranteed, and resources were becoming more limited and competitive. But the solution wasn’t simply lamenting these realities; it was taking action. Organizations needed to be proactive in developing grant readiness, building collaborative networks, and strengthening their internal operations to weather the storm of policy changes.

Change is inevitable. Whether it’s political shifts, economic fluctuations, or new funding trends, we can either stay ahead of the curve or be left behind. My workshops, connections, and resources were all about ensuring that the organizations I supported were ready—not just for today, but for the challenges and opportunities of tomorrow.

“Running a for-profit or non-profit business isn’t for those with a broke, struggling, or poverty mindset. It’s crucial to get your personal and spiritual life in order, which is why having a team is important.

Problems will arise, and if you’re alone, the business will likely fail. Starting strong with a team of people who don’t have a poverty mindset is instrumental.

Once I am contacted for grant writing preparedness, the first thing I ask is, ‘Do you have a team?’ I don’t want anyone wasting their money or time. Prior to 2024, I have never sat on boards that didn’t compensate their executives for gas expenses and food.

It’s the ethical thing to do when people are volunteering their time. If your organization doesn’t have enough money, it should be in your budget plan to compensate for gas mileage and accommodation if they need to stay overnight for any trainings, whether for non-profit or for-profit ventures. Again, ethically, it should be in your budget plan.”
