HOW TO BECOME A GRANT WRITER
Albert Camus
“The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.”
At Grant Nomad, we are turning grant writing into a path of freedom and bold rebellion against the mundane.
For you, the content creator, digital nomad, expat writer, blogger, vlogger, or social media guru, this is your call to an extraordinary journey. Your skills in crafting compelling narratives are the very tools that can make you a successful grant writer.
Envision a life where your writing is more than a job – it's a well-paid adventure. As a Grant Nomad, you will have the opportunity to help our clients get the funding they need to bring about good for their communities while enjoying your free and financially secure life.
Why Grant Writing?
Grant writing is not just a career choice; it's an adventure that offers both personal fulfillment and financial rewards far surpassing standard content writing jobs. Professional grant writers typically earn about 20% more than traditional content writers, with median salaries in the U.S. around $48,000 annually, and experienced writers earning over $120,000. This is a significant step up from the standard content writer's salary of around $40,000.
Moreover, grant writers report a higher level of job satisfaction. About 65% of grant writers find fulfillment in the impactful nature of their work, contributing directly to societal benefits and community projects. This sense of purpose and contribution to tangible change is something that many content writers often miss in their roles.
The demand for skilled grant writers is consistently robust across various sectors like non-profits, tech, education, and healthcare, offering more stability compared to the fluctuating market for general content writing. Additionally, the skills you've honed as a content creator – persuasive writing, research, and storytelling – are not only applicable but highly valued in grant writing. This makes for a seamless transition to a field where your talents can continue to grow and make a meaningful difference.
