Dear Experienced Grant Writer,

I recently left my fast-pased position as the Director of Grants at a nonprofit. I’d like to write grant proposals as a contractor, allowing me to choose proposals based on my time and schedule. Do you have suggestions for getting your name and expertise out there as a contracted proposal writer? Any job boards you recommend?

Sincerely,

In Charge of My Own Bandwidth

Dear In Charge of Your Own Bandwidth,

I can understand the whirlwind of going from the position at a nonprofit to being a contractor. It can take a little bit to find your footing. When I started working as a grant professional, I was happy when I came upon the Grants Professionals Association, this is a community of grant professionals as well as training opportunities, networking, and even job postings for consultants. This was a great resource for me and I hope it can be the same for you!

Sincerely,

Maggie Perry , Grant Professional
