SUMMARY

Is your nonprofit organization writing competitive grants that grow your funding capacity?  In episode #153 of Your Path to Nonprofit Leadership we speak with Holly Rustick, a grant writing expert with over 15 years of winning more than $30 million in grant funding, on how nonprofit leaders can enhance their grant writing skills and increase funding to advance their organization’s mission.  Holly shares practical takeaways and processes to increase and diversify funding for better overall stability of your nonprofit and its programs. To truly comprehend that grant writing is the connection of money to mission, nonprofit leaders must not only diligently research and understand the funder, but more importantly, they must first have a fully developed program to present. Holly discusses proper relationship-building techniques because, like all your donors, proper stewardship is vital to the foundations with which your organization interacts.  Learn how to best position your organization for funding with Holly’s 10 Step Checklist and her Nonprofit Wellness Audit.  Holly also shares her perspective to help more women in the nonprofit sector ascend into senior leadership positions.
