GRANTWRITING: Grant writing is one of those ”sleeper” ~  careers most people never hear about. Until recently, you couldn’t even find a one-term college course that would teach you how to write a grant proposal. In the last few years some BA degree programs have sprouted up, but most lead to more advanced areas including development and fundraising. And they take 4 years to complete.

While some very respectable grant writing certification programs have been around for a while, this field is still wide open to anyone who can write an attention-grabbing proposal that convinces funders that their client will put award money to the best use, in the funder’s opinion. This is formula writing at its best, and pays accordingly. You can make a nice full-time income from writing just one or two proposals per month. Since I made a nice income writing proposals since 1989, I know this is true. It isn’t uncommon for freelance grant writers to charge $50 - $150 per hour.

Great career choice, helping others in need or supporting issues near and dear to your own heart. Whatever your reason for choosing to write proposals it’s a win-win career choice for everyone involved.
