Susan Sandoval has been a grant writer for seven years, beginning her journey at a nonprofit family center in her rural hometown of Burlington, CO. What started as a practical need for employment soon grew into a passion for securing funding to support vital community programs. Over time, Susan transitioned to pursuing a career in addiction counseling, blending her grant writing expertise with her dedication to making a difference in the lives of individuals and families affected by addiction.

Grant Application: This segment outlines the critical components of a successful application, including developing a clear narrative, assembling essential attachments, and writing a professional cover letter and summary. It also highlights best practices for presenting a polished and persuasive proposal.
Next Steps & Tips for Success: The final section offers strategies for post-application success, such as effective planning and grant management, and emphasizes the importance of relationship-building with funders to establish long-term partnerships.
