This video covers sample situations to help you better understand for-profit grants. We’ll look at why you want grants in the first place and yellow flags to look out for if you’re a freelance grant writer trying to break into this field.
Examples of grants for for-profits include:
🔸 Rasmuson Foundation: Individual Artist Program
🔸 Two common federal government research grants are the Small Business Innovation Resource (SBIR) and the Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) grant program
For-profits with the most opportunity to receive grants are conducting very innovative, research work or creatives/individuals pushing forward in a grassroots way. 🧐 🎨
➡️ It’s probably not necessary to start a non-profit. Questions to ask yourself if you’re considering this include:
✨ What are you trying to accomplish?
✨ Who can you partner with?
✨ What part of what you want to do you most love?
Consider fiscal sponsorship as an option. A fiscal sponsor serves as the administrative “home” for your cause. 🏠 This helps you access grant funding while getting to focus on what you do best.
Also, consider grant writing as a business development strategy. 💪
