Here's a video blog I did today! The whole transcription is on this page with some additional resources to help you.

• The Advantage Of A Grant Writing Certification
• Ways Of Actually Getting Trained

Hey, guys, Rodney Walker here and I'm here to address the issue with you of how can you benefit from a grant writing certification? Can you benefit from grant writing certification? And why would it be important? I want to talk to you about this issue.

If you see some of the other videos that I've done on this topic, you know, I've been looking at what a certification is and we've been talking about that from from top to bottom. And I want to share with you some ways that you can do this. But before that, I want to share with you right now, like, how can you benefit? Can you actually benefit from a grant writing certification? And if so, how so? 

The Advantage Of A Grant Writing Certification

So come on in. Let's grab a seat and let's talk about this. So we looked at the...

Words cannot express how proud I am of Kayla Bey. When she first came to me interested in learning to write grants, she was already in a dire situation. This young lady demonstrated a dogged tenacity to get what she desired even though her circumstances and conditions could have made the average person give up.

She wasn't going to quit! Even though her situation went from bad to worse. She still wasn't giving up on what she wanted. Even when she had to go to a different state with your son, she didn't give up in a move that seemed to be going backward to keep her head above water.

That's why after having worked with her and sharing my knowledge of grant writing, it does my heart well to see her soar like an eagle in doing what she wanted to do and working on her wealth with her business on the side. Hats off to Kayla Bey... Please join me in congratulating this fighter!

Below is the transcript of the surprise pop-up that happened a few weeks ago. You will also see a video of a full...

Hey, guys, Rodney Walker here of Grant Central USA. I'm over at the Grants Community blog and I just want to bring your attention to a recent post regarding the Office of Management and Budget.

They've officially designated grants.gov as the Managing Agency, the United States Department of Health and Human Services as the Quality Service Management Office for Grants Management.

This means that HHS will be leading the effort to transform the federal government management process from end to end, basically overseeing the grant management process in four areas the pre-award, post-award, and closeout.

Now, what's really important to note about this is a few things.

One, that the HHS will be working to help, to modernize, and to improve on the grant development efforts.

This also means that improving your skill in grant writing, through certification, will be more beneficial in your career as an online grant writer.

And what's also really worth noting, as we look at this, in the fiscal...

Hey, guys, Rodney Walker of Grant Central USA. I want to take a moment to acknowledge this special day, January 26, 2021.

This is the day that our group, the Grant Writers Association, has officially crossed over the 15,000 member mark. Yes, 15,000 plus members now are part of the Grant Writers Association, and we have people standing in line waiting to get in. 

Thank you for making that possible. 

If you haven't had an opportunity to hear the story yet, feel free to go over to GetFundedwithRodney.com. This will take you to the channel, and you will get an opportunity to hear and learn more about the story of how all of this came about.

And while you're at it, I think you may enjoy listening to the whole set. Remember, you are welcome to join...

Grant writing for artists is similar yet different from other aspects of applying for grant funding. In this video, I share some information about being an artist and writing grants from this perspective. This lays the groundwork for how to pursue it.

• Is It Worth It?
• Creatively Expressing Yourself
• The Artist's Guide To Grant Writing

Hey, my friend Rodney Walker here and just doing a little biking and I decided to take a break and talk to you about this whole thing about Grant writing for artists. Now, I know you may be an artist right now, and I don't know what kind of artist you are, even as you kind of hear in the background. I have somebody playing, and in my mind, that person is an artist as well. 

But in this particular video, I'm going to be sharing with you some information about being an artist and writing grants as an artist. The first thing I want to kind of address in our time is "Is it worth it? Should you be going at the grants and doing grant writing...

As a freelance writer, you have control over your schedule and workload. You have the opportunity to work with individuals and organizations from various industries, too. However, this career path offers little job security and financial stability. When work opportunities are scarce, you’ll be left with one-off assignments that barely pay the minimum.

Fortunately, you don’t have to leave the freelancer lifestyle to earn additional income. Grant writing is a good way to bolster your current work. Non-profit organizations are always in need of skilled writers to create proposals to raise money. This line of work allows you to help make changes to the world without leaving the comfort of your home.

What is Grant Writing?

Grant writing is the concept of creating proposals to raise funds for the activities planned by non-profit organizations. These proposals are sent to financial institutions and potential donors in the private sector.

This profession is always in high...

Hey, guys, Rodney Walker here, I want to share with you what is the difference between a grant writing training versus a grant writing certification? This is a question that I get quite often, so I want to address it. What's the difference? Now, when you have a grant writing training, a training is very specific to what you're trying to learn, and it's really training designed to help you to master a certain type of skill. And whatever the skill is, there are different areas of grant writing. There are so many areas in grant writing. And so when you when you're looking at actually doing this, you want to kind of take into consideration, you know, what is the training that I'm looking to go through? What is it going to be providing me? What exactly is it going to be teaching me? And there, like I said, so many different areas. So one is training you to learn a particular skill.

For instance, that skill may be teaching you how to do an effective grant writing budget, or...
