Persona(s)
- Jerry, 40s, earns a side income as a professional grant writer. He has no time to network and searches out new client opportunities. He has time on his hands. If only he could land a grant writing gig. . .
- Valerie, 52, is the executive director of a non-profit that delivers food packages to the homeless. She just learned about a state grant she qualifies for, but the deadline is in four days and Valerie has no experience writing a grant proposal. This opportunity looks like it will slip through the cracks.
- Jim, 35, had some experience in grant writing in the past. Now he wants to make a career change and return to grant writing. However, he doesn’t know where to find the first clients.
- Abby, 30, is the executive director of a nonprofit environmental organization. In addition, she opened her own nonprofit organization last year. She has a lot of experience in research and grant writing, but she is overwhelmed with work now, so she would love to find a couple of grant writers, who could help her.
