This has been very helpful. I think I will look into it a bit more and give it a shot. It would be wonderful to have my writing help a non-profit accomplish something important. After all, our writing should have more value that just monetary value. I agree with Jeanne. This has been very helpful. I think I will look into it a bit more and give it a shot.

It's good to know, however, that not all grants are like that! For example, I didn't know about the smaller grant proposals. I'm only familiar with the large, complex, scary ones, which is why I did not want to write them at all. Now that I know about the differences among them, I'm willing to give them a try. Thank you for a great article series!
