A Cherished Resource
“My original copy of How to Write a Grant Become a Grant Writing Unicorn is well thumbed, dogeared, highlighted, and bristling with bookmarked pages. I couldn't imagine how you'd improve something I'd already found so useful. But you did. The updated version builds on the original foundation - keeping the accessibility, tools and fun, sassy tone - while adding practical and holistic advice toward career transformation, but it is the inclusion of Unicorns Confront Their-isms and How Do I Center the Community in My Work by Alex Lustig that truly elevates this new addition and leaves a powerful, thoughtful impact. I'm simply moved and grateful for your combined, insightful sharing of experiences along with the technical advice and guidance.”
Jacqueline Summers, Executive Director, Health TIE

Grant writers put heart and soul into everything they do. They work on things that matter. They want to have an impact and better their communities.
Before grant writers become known for their craft, however, they take the time to learn the art of grant writing. Armed with this skill set, they can achieve their broader vision.
