In grant writing, we understand the importance of the 5 Ws: Who, What, When, Where, and Why. As grant professionals, we have a responsibility to keep Who at the center of every proposal we write because they are the very reason grants even exist. Compassionate grant writing even has the power to inspire.

Ghostwriting is one of the most common, yet least talked about, practices in grant writing, especially for consultants. But this behind-the-scenes role comes with big ethical responsibility: to support without overshadowing, and to write in a way that centers the clients voice, not our own. Thats where the magic happens.

In the ever-changing profession of grant writing, staying on top of new trends and practices is critical for continued success. I find this is possible when the pursuit is intentional, focused, and rooted in one’s long-term career goals. Contemplate areas for improvement and personal growth as a grant professional.

A team was writing the projects, and we met weekly over eight weeks as a part of the process. The individual leading the charge wanted to nit-pick the goals and objectives every time we met. In week four, I put down my foot and said, we are NOT changing these goals and objectives again. At about week three, I had had enough.
