👥 Who You Help = The Foundation of Every Strong Proposal

Hi friend 💛✨

Let’s simplify something powerful today.

🌱 Funders fund clarity.

Not long proposals.
Not fancy language.
Not perfect data.

Funders fund organizations that can clearly answer one question 👇

👉 Who exactly do you serve?

When the “who” is clear, everything else gets easier.

✨ Your need statement becomes sharper
✨ Your outcomes become stronger
✨ Your stories become more emotional
✨ Your funding alignment becomes obvious

Clarity creates confidence.
Confidence builds trust.

If your organization says it serves “everyone,” funders feel the fuzziness immediately.
Broad language makes it harder for funders to see impact.

Here is a quick clarity check you can try today 👇

📝 Can you describe your ideal participant in one clear sentence?

If not, that is not a failure.
It is simply your next step.

Your future grant applications will thank you 🌟

 

🎯 Choose Your Next Step

There is more than one right way to strengthen clarity in your grant writing.

🌿 Path #1. Learn to Define and Write With Clarity. Academy.

If you want to learn grant writing the right way, with systems, strategy, and real support, I want you to know this:

I am a Lead Co-Coach inside Holly Rustick’s Grant Writing and Funding Academy, where I actively support nonprofits as they:

🌱 define their target populations clearly
🌱 strengthen need statements and outcomes
🌱 build reusable, funder-ready grant systems

This path is ideal if you want to build strong internal skills and feel confident writing grants in-house.
