Grant Proposal Writing
While working with Adventures Beyond Barriers Foundation (ABBF), I used my role as CEO to learn about leading a social enterprise and planning all our adventures.
It was a perfect combination – utilizing and enhancing my capabilities in management and adventure planning.
Until the pandemic struck, it was something I thought I would grow old doing.
Then, I stumbled upon another plan.
In June of 2020, I answered a job posting for a grant writer for VOICE Trust (VT), an NGO based out of Trichy.
What started as a grant writing assignment became an organizational change project – process setting, documentation, hiring, and building capabilities.
Clearly, my skills were needed here, and I went all in for the next year and a half. It was the best use of the pandemic-driven downtime to resolve the struggles VT was facing.
We started with Fund Raising platforms and successfully got several projects off the ground.
By December 2021, we had won a substantial grant from Alstom Foundation for a women’s agriculture project, and the VT was now fairly independent.
I realized that social organizations desperately need professional written, compelling proposals to win funding for projects. They struggle with templates, structure, budgeting, and even project planning.
If your NGO is struggling with proposal conversion, I want to help.
