Chaotic Mess - Grant Writer Write On Fundraising Employee Review

Write On Fundraising is such a conducive environment for professional growth. Throughout my time here I have grown as a grant writer, then as a manager, and lastly as an organizational leader. The team at Write On understands that growth isn't always linear and works with employees individually to tailor make a trajectory that fits them. It has been so rewarding to grow personally and professionally while impacting dozens of unique nonprofits and missions.

The days aren't always easy and the work is extremely challenging. When you are working to grow capacity for dozens of nonprofits at a time sometimes the stress can rise and rise and rise; however, when you look back and you see that you and your teammates rose to the challenge and impacted some amazing missions and truly meaningful ways the sense of accomplishment is so fulfilling!

External communication is good. Internal communication mostly good (financial updates, transparency, etc.) Enjoyed the supervisors I worked with. There was a lot of autonomy. Really enjoyed the clients. Grew skills as a manager.

Not all career goals can be achieved in this role. Metrics to employee success are tied to client success, so if a client isn't in a good position to win grants, it reflects back on the writer. When understaffed, the workload can be overwhelming.
