Grantepreneur: Getting Started in a Grant Career and Business - Paperback

by Katherine F. H. Heart (Author)

Katherine Heart's definition of a "Grantepreneur^TM" is "an individual who applies both grant competency and entrepreneurial skills to advance their cause, community and career or business." By definition, grants include the concept of benefit to the public and society. In myself and colleagues, I've observed that caring and passionate people with various skills and prior experiences are drawn (accidentally or on purpose) to develop their grant seeking abilities in order to bring much-needed funding for programs and services that help others. The Grantepreneur^TM career and business model takes the purpose of grants into consideration through social enterprise and community-oriented business concepts, and does not promote incompatible big business practices. It will help you to explore whether the grant career path is right for you, but doesn't guarantee success. If you decide to move forward, you will find additional information, tips and tools online at www.grantepreneur.com.
