I have discovered that finding a donor for your grant project is much like looking for the person your going to marry, you spend a lot of time looking and hoping you find that special someone but most of the time your looking at duds. Once you find that perfect person/grant you wounder how you ever lived without each other. Oh if only every project idea found this perfect grant partnership and didn't die in the planning stages.
I have also found that sometimes as a non-profit writer, you write a grant for a company just because your boss tells you too. This I have found can be a little frustrating, it reminds me of a blind date, you may not see why this person is right for you, but with some get to know you time, you might see exactly what the person who set you up saw. And who knows it might just end up being a match made in heaven. This is the place that I find myself right now and am hoping that after all is said and done I might see exactly what my boss sees.
