I developed Ezy Grant Writer as I knew that grant writing could be made easy. I have a background working with charities so I have done my fair share of grant writing and I know the frustrations that can come with grant writing. I thought it would be good to give you some background on me and why my mission became grant writing made easy!
I have always loved working with charities, helping the local communities as well as bigger organizations that make a difference on a larger scale. I began working with charities about nine years ago when I started working with the Lions Club and then found interest in other local charities. Basically, when I see a need within an organization where I feel I can offer my skills, I approach them and make my skills available to them.  I am currently involved with two charities; one local, one international.
My local involvement is with a wonderful organization called Fitted for Work. Through Fitted for Work, we help disadvantaged women return to the workforce by providing them with a fabulous wardrobe of clothing to wear during the interview process. We also work with the ladies to strengthen their interview skills. Overall, our goal is to restore the women’s confidence in themselves and help them transition back to the working world. Many of the women have really had it tough for a number of reasons and they have struggled to regain confidence to get back to work. This charity allows me to use by business skills to set up databases so the organization can keep up with volunteers and just stay organized. I want them to work smart and not hard.
I am also involved in another charity that has an international focus. I am the communications director for the Grey Man organization, which fights against child trafficking in Thailand.  We work hard to raise awareness about the issue and we hold fund raising events and work with the media to keep our mission out there.
I have always had a great passion for helping people and making a difference in many lives. I love that I can use my skills to support charities and organizations who work so hard. Eventually, my goal is to become a career philanthropist and devote my life to helping organizations and supporting their causes. I hope that the Ezy Grant Writer software can help me charities with grant writing made easy.

When learning how to write a grant there are a few common problems people will experience while working through the grant writing process. It is essential that before you begin the journey, you have a good understanding of the purpose of writing a grant and the preparation process. It is not a difficult thing to learn but it does require some time and a lot of persistence.

When getting started, one of the biggest problems most people experience is writer’s block. Looking at the blank page and wondering where to start can be difficult. This is one of the reasons I created the Ezy Grant Writing program. It will help you beat writer’s block and get started on expanding your ideas. The program gives you questions worksheets which allow you and your team to work through the questions and formulate your plan for the proposal. It is grant writing made easy.

Probably the next most common difficulty people experience in the grant writing process is targeting the potential grant makers. Not every company will offer funding for every kind of organization. The grant makers are the source of monies received via the grant and so they all have very specific criteria that varies from group to group. Understanding the criteria set for each group is a huge part of the process because if the requirements are not followed exactly, your organization runs the risk of immediate rejection no matter how solid the rest of your presentation is. The Ezy Grant Writer program aids in this process by asking a number of questions relating to your eligibility for receiving the grant. Because the process of grant writing is so time consuming, the last thing you want to do is waste time on an incompatible grant making organization.

Some people will struggle with the language and the actual content of the grant. Using a program like the Ezy Grant Writer, you are able to simply answer some questions and have that content turned into a really professional grant proposal. Because I went through the entire process of writing a grant on my own before coming up with the idea for a program, I quickly learned the ins and outs of what works and what doesn’t. That experience enabled me to make a complete program that anticipates what is expected and what works.

Overall, it takes work to put together a professional proposal and that is really what you want - a professional and complete proposal that precisely follows the guidelines of the grant makers. Learning how to write a grant and overcome the common problems with grant writing is not the most impossible task and it absolutely does have it rewards in the end result.
