035: How to Embrace Grant Rejection




Grant Writing & Funding show

Summary: You’ve put your heart and soul into it. You may have lost sleep. You definitely missed the latest Braking Bad episode. Or you paid a grant writer a hefty sum. For all of that, what you got was a mass email that started with the lines, “We regret to inform you…” Your heart plunges and you decide to write off grants for the rest of the year… or for the rest of your life. You might have at some point said, Enough with that foundation / federal grant. I’ll never get it. I get it. Nobody likes rejection, especially after they put so much time or funding into writing a grant. Nobody likes to see their much-needed project swatted away and not even given a chance. This isn’t always a bad thing. What?! Holly have you lost your mind? Okay, it’s not the best scenario (I’m not that much of a Pollyanna), but it’s not all lost time, energy, and moola.
