The grant writing process required that I first locate grants for which the organization was eligible. This meant scouring the internet for grants that aligned with the AHF’s mission of providing supplemental education and medical care to Amish communities. After finding an appropriate funding opportunity for the AHF, I collected information on Amish communities and analyzed federal policy concerning Amish practices to provide funders with an ample background to the AHF’s mission. I then began crafting the grant application itself, a process that necessitated a keen eye for the funders’ formal requirements, the ability to formulate a convincing argument, and a clear, concise writing style. In producing such applications, I collaborated extensively with the organization’s other grant writing staff as well as the organization’s president. Overall, this position not only required excellent written communication to produce convincing applications and collect grant money, but flawless verbal communication to ensure seamless coordination with other writers and managers.
