Parallel to the improvisation you do yourself as a grant writer, it is also important to know tools for helping your grant writing team improvise as well.

When I’m teaching grant-writing workshops outside the U.S. the participants sometimes ask me a very basic question: “Why do foundations give away money?” My answer is that in the United States, people who accumulate large amounts of wealth naturally want to see that wealth stay aggregated in one lump sum after they are gone. (I think it makes them feel better to know that their wealth will continue doing good things for the world long after they are gone.

Anyone who works in the nonprofit sector knows it’s not for the faint of heart. By necessity, the sector focuses on the negatives—the systems that are broken, the problems that need solving, the issues that are underfunded. And yet, this hyper-focus may be counterproductive. The burgeoning field of positive psychology suggests that humans have a default “negativity bias”—we disproportionately pay attention to and remember what goes wrong.
