If you're listening to this after that, you can get on the waitlist for the next round. In this episode I'm sharing 3 reasons I became a grant writer in the first place: Practical Purpose Personal Those reasons have evolved and grown over time as I've learned and gained more experience. I'll share more about those and how I've been able to have an amazing career working from home. It suits my personality and has allowed me to be at home with my kids while making an impact for good through nonprofit consulting. Today I'd also like you to meet another Fast Track to Grant Writer Alumni. Diego was already working part time as a grant writer for a small nonprofit. He's also a graduate student and has been instrumental in helping his nonprofit set up an internship program. He's getting some great experience, but he just wasn't feeling very confident with his grant writing. We worked on that in the Fast Track program and talked about some really cool services he could offer to nonprofits based on his skill set and experience. It's been so much fun having him in the Fast Track program. Everyone has brought such a unique perspective to the group, and it's been great watching them interact and support each other. Listen in as Diego and I chat about how far he's come over the past few weeks. Connect with Teresa Huff: Website: www.teresahuff.com Take the Quiz: Do you have what it takes to be a grant writer?
