Episode 147: Fix Your Funding Strategy: How To Stop Waiting For Grant Applications and Start Creating Funding Opportunities
04/26/23 • 35 min
Hello Healthcare Visionaries! We are excited to welcome you back to this week's episode of the Funding Your Healthcare Vision podcast, as we are kicking off with a new series which is called ‘ Fix Your Funding’. We have had clients come to us wanting to learn how to write applications for grant funding as their sole strategy for growth, and whilst applications are important, they are not the be all and end all for obtaining grant funding. We take a holistic approach here at Melanin and Medicine and we want you to also, meaning that you are creating grant funding opportunities for yourself. In this week’s episode we will discuss with you the three ways you can create opportunities for yourself and get invited for grant funding opportunities.
What you will learn in this episode:
- Why your health practice strategy should go beyond just writing applications for grant funding
- Why waiting for grant opportunities to become available is a failing strategy and can delay your growth and impact
- How to reverse the switch and create grant opportunities for your health practice
- How to get invited to the party and have grant funding opportunities coming to you
...and much more!
This is another episode full of information, so be sure to take notes and reach out to us with any questions you may have.
