Are u sure? GWW - GrantsChampion

Before you sign up for The Grantwriter's Well, please watch this short video below

It might seem a bit odd for me to ask you to pause and slow down before you sign up, but that’s just what I’d like to invite you to do.

For what's included, and compared to other grantwriting courses, The Grantwriter's Well is inexpensive.

But it’s still your time and money - and those are our most precious resources.

If you’re like me, when you know you want something you skim through long sales letters (like the one you just came from!) and that means there’s a good chance you missed some important bits. So I'd like to you to go back and read it in full because it matters to me that you know what the course entails and it feels right the right fit for you.

Or, if you’re pretty sure it’s a fit, the following points are the most important things to give a quick review.

After reading the following carefully, I invite to just take a moments to sit with it - close your eyes, take a few breaths, and see if this is the right time and the right action for you. If The Grantwriter's Well still feels like a fit for you, I’ll love having you in the course.

If not, I wish you the best in finding just what is right for you and your nonprofit in developing your skills
.
And, if timing is the only issue, then I hope I might get to see you at a future Grantwriter's Well.

And, if you have any questions, please feel free to send me an email at the link below and ask me anything you like.
This course is for you if
You have great ideas and are committed to getting them funded and just need some support and guidance
You are ABLE and WILLING to spend 5+ hours a week for 8 weeks putting what you have learned into action
You’ve been procrastinating and second-guessing yourself about writing grant proposals for far too long and are ready to take action
You are capable of (kind) self-discipline because you’ll need to sit yourself down and get the work done.
You are determined to create positive social, environmental and economic change in the world and know that you can do it with the right support
You’re comfortable with and enjoy meditations, yoga, connecting in sacred space and talking about our inherent oneness. You’re the kind of person who heads off on retreat every once is in a while – or would like to.
You’ll need to be on facebook and comfortable with computers That they will have to cut services or lay off employees and cut services
You're drawn to spirituality and believe that we all have a deep reservoir of eternal wisdom inside of us
Who this course is not for
You have years of grantwriting success under your belt (I have other programs that might be better suited to you).
You don’t have 5 hours a week to put into the course – and 16 hours during weeks 6 & 7
I’m a progressive liberal inspired by radical reimagining of our world as place that supports EVERYONE - if you’re offended by that then this isn’t the course for you
If you don’t have an organization that you are working with or a project in mind, you’ll struggle to get the most out of this course
You don’t have internet access, facebook etc.
You can’t be on any of the live calls (see below)
You hold fundamental religious beliefs that don't allow you to expand into new experiences and ideas
You’re not strong at self-motivation and self-discipline since you will need those to keep yourself on track to do the coursework between live sessions. Like anything in life – you’ll get what you put into this course.

FAQ
How much time will it take?
The course will require 3-6 hours per week plus 8-10 hours in weeks 6 & 7. I understand this is a huge time commitment for most people - but I guarantee you that I’ll do my absolute best to make it worth your time and give you the skills that you’ll be able to use for years to come.
It sounds great but I don’t have the money?
I understand that non-profit budgets are always tight. So, I'm offering this course with an installment option in which you pay over 3 months.

And, I also have a LOT of free resources on my main grant writing page www.grantschampion.com and my book is offered on a gift basis at www.grantwritingrevealed.com.

I don’t have project to work on – will this be useful?
Not really, if you don’t know a program or project very well.

If it’s online, how much interaction do I get with you?
I’ve designed and all the course materials and videos etc are imbibed it with the best of my experience.
We’ll also have a live 90 minute call each week where we can talk through what you’re working on and get feedback from me and your peers.
Do you offer CFRE credits?
Not at this time.

You talk about the sacred - is this religious?
No, it’s not. I do not adhere to any religion and respect all of them that empower people to be be more loving. I believe that we all share a common root that is loving, expansive and peaceful - what all religions point to. The course includes some non-denominational meditations intended to bring us present to this sense of the sacred. I’ve found that most people find them relaxing, grounding and peaceful - and religious fundamentalists don’t like it.

What the course will be like for you

On Friday evenings you will receive an email with a to a link with the week’s course materials. You’ll have the week to go through them and do the exercises – in some cases with a buddy. All the information is broken into digestible chunks so you won’t get overwhelmed. You might choose do to do an hour a day or set aside and afternoon each week.

The following Thursday at 7:00pm EST we’ll have a live Q&A session via zoom and I’ll go through the materials and answer any questions that have come up for you. If you have questions in the interim you can post them on the facebook page.

For the weeks starting November 6th & 13th, you’ll take all that you’ve learned and compile a draft – you’ll need at least 8-10 hours each week to do that. I know that’s a lot of time for most non-profit folks but you know that you get out of anything what you put into it.

Once your draft is complete, we’ll share them with each other via googledocs and everyone will read each other’s draft and make constructive comments. During the final session, we’ll take 10-15 minutes to offer feedback to each person on their draft.
