I'm just going to keep plowing through Craigs List and all the other job sites.<BR/><BR/>Kim: Most grant writing involves working for non-profits or government agencies (like schools.) Having tried my hand at non-profits and been burned, I'm not at all interested in working directly for a non-profit again. I've done work for a couple of non-profits on the side, but as they had no funding, most of my work has been pro bono. If I were to continue in grants, I'd want it to be on the foundation side, awarding the grants. Begging for your keep sucks and the pay is crap and the leadership is often even crappier.Janet Kincaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01396294382570650966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14395763.post-1165103470127161832006-12-02T18:51:00.000-05:002006-12-02T18:51:00.000-05:00Have you ever thought about Grant Writing in the E...Have you ever thought about Grant Writing in the Education Field? It's a big thing...big, big thing...Connections Academy (Brad's former employer) is based on Baltimore, MD. and K12 (who he interviewed with in June) is based in VA - where did we go again? Grant writing for education here in AZ, is much needed, great niche...I'm sure it's the same everywhere. Or are you just involved with green stuff? That made a lot of sense, right?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14395763.post-1165102807525471092006-12-02T18:40:00.000-05:002006-12-02T18:40:00.000-05:00Janet, you have no idea how bad I wish I had conta...Janet, you have no idea how bad I wish I had contacts in the publishing world right now. <BR/><BR/>Have you tried any foreign (translate: Austrian) publishing companies?? I think my host dad was in a publishing company in Vienna. Not sure.<BR/><BR/>Hang tough...Sister Mary Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00642154849765529070noreply@blogger.com
