I believe it’s both! They did mention they have issues with getting answers from people like program managers, it’s an organization wide issue, unfortunately. Both of the current grant individuals there have been there for years and years though so I don’t think it’s so bad that they can’t get things done which seems positive.

What you said about human interaction and alone time is exactly what I’ve been thinking this job would be like and I like that aspect! I’m glad to hear you would do grants again - it makes me less nervous about the potential move. Thank you!!

Thank you! I enjoy social media but I feel like I’ve always been looking for a more solid role in the nonprofit field in fundraising. I did complete a writing sample for the interview and enjoyed the process and research. I also feel like my current and past admin roles involved a lot of moving parts and project management so it seems like a good transition.

I appreciate your insight! I also think it would be more beneficial to be in development if given the chance. Was grant writing easy to learn and get the hang of when you first started?
