It goes without saying that if you want to affect positive chage, you must be the change you hope to see. I totally agree when it comes to grants, its important to reflect the passion required to make a difference in your community.
The greatest challenge people face today when it comes to starting a nonprofit organization is they give up too soon. In other words, they attempt the process one time, then they stop. The journey one takes to establish and lead a nonprofit is a process of perseverance, in other words when the going seems a bit tough, crank it up another notch.
When it comes to the grant process, paperwork is a major issue for some, not for me because I approach it as an opportunity to learn something I didn't know before. Whether its filling out the initial paperwork to establish your corporation, employer identification number or the Form 1023 to apply for tax exempt status, its all part of the process and in life its all process.
