Fundraising, especially where grants are concerned, can be quite a daunting task. With so many promises of millions of dollars “out there” that go untapped, many would assume acquiring a grant for your organization would be somewhat easy. (If only grantwriting were as simple as our fund accounting software.) The problem arises when we are mislead and have limited or skewed information. While trying to fight my way through a tangled web of what seem to be false promises, I found a great resource that seems to convey all the nitty gritty details in a clear and concise fashion.
You may find more information here on an article entitled, “Grants: Free Money – Not Quite!!”
While I do believe there are many grants readily available for your organization and the possiblity of obtaining them is entirely possible, I also accept the fact that they are limited and we fall prey to wanting the process to be easy. Remember anything worth having takes time and work and a willingness to keep trying.
