Many nonprofit leaders are eager to receive more funding for their non-profit. However, many leaders find this process challenging for a few reasons.

1. There is a lack of understanding about the grant writing process

2. Nonprofit leaders may not know what grant funders are truly looking for when selecting organizations to invest in
