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!

I'll probably cast occasional updates as I progress with the course, but I'll keep the details fairly vague in public. Feel free to DC me if you have specific questions about the course, though. I'm curious too. If you'd like to say more, how did you get started in grant writing?
