Grant Writer at GrantAlly
Lorna has been with GrantAlly since its inception in May 2020. She has been immersed in the nonprofit sector since she was seven years old, when her parents worked with private educational institutions in Indiana. Lorna worked at multiple private colleges in Indiana and Ohio after graduating from college, while teaching various students voice and piano lessons. She has always enjoyed writing and interacting with people for a good cause. So, she studied grant writing at the University of Cincinnati and is a member of the Grant Professionals Association. They have two sweet little girls, Priya Grace and Ruchi Faith. Time outside of work is spent as a family outdoors, making music, cooking and baking, at church, or completing fun art and home improvement projects.
In this workshop, participants learn key grant-writing strategies, including how to navigate the grant process by understanding grant cycles, finding funding sources, and evaluating eligibility. They'll learn to write strong grant proposals by crafting compelling narratives, covering key components, and tailoring applications to funders. The workshop also covers how to measure and communicate impact using data, testimonials, and case studies to strengthen both applications and reporting, as well as how to build relationships and manage funding by engaging with funders, tracking grant spending, and ensuring compliance for future success.
