This week I’m applying to a 10-week course for a Certificate in Grant Writing. If all goes well, I’ll transition into making a living as a freelance grant proposal writer + editor. Eventually I hope to work in crypto philanthropy for arts funding. The last time I worked with a nonprofit was at Oregon Research Institute as a psychology undergrad in the 1990s. My post-bac credentials are in philosophy and accounting. So I’ve got my work cut out for me. Copy editing is still my superpower, so I hope to keep my schedule flexible enough to take contract copy editing work. When I start the grant writing class in April, there will be a significant drop in the time I spend on the purple app. The /slowcore-hq channel I co-founded is in extended hibernation. I'll continue to steward the Return On Attention group chat with co-admin @trigs. We’ll keep a low profile until we find a suitable space to move it and an economic model for it. Any casters currently work as grant writers? I'd love to chat.

Super curious about the course! Sounds like a good investment. I've done some grant writing for projects and companies, both crypto and non-crypto. It's a LOT of work!
