Books and Podcasts<\/strong> are essential tools for nonprofit outreach and success. Organizations that want to stay ready to compete for funding should consider branching out into new genres to help spread their mission goals. Every day, nonprofit organizations work hard to solve real problems and serve their communities. So, keeping up with trends, best practices, and funding strategies is super important for them to keep their organizations strong and competitive. One of the easiest ways to stay sharp is by learning from trusted voices through books and podcasts focused on nonprofits and grant funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is where GrantWatch<\/a><\/strong> shines brightest! At GrantWatch, we track over 10,000 active grants and share resources that help nonprofits<\/a><\/strong> and small businesses<\/a><\/strong> succeed at every stage of the grant-seeking process. However, we offer so much more. Beyond finding funding opportunities, we see great value in how funders think and how successful organizations operate, which can give applicants a real edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GrantWatch’s Top Books and Podcasts<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The Queen of Grants: From Teacher to Grant Writer to CEO by Libby Hikind<\/a><\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

In The Queen of Grants<\/em>, Libby Hikind traces her journey from educator to professional grant writer and CEO of GrantWatch. She shares the confidence, persistence, and unexpected turns that shaped her path. As readers follow her evolution into a nonprofit funding expert and media personality, the story builds confidence in navigating both grant seeking and grant writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The book is organized into five clearly structured sections. It moves beyond theory to provide practical, step-by-step guidance for every stage of a grant application. These stages range from determining eligibility to celebrating an award. Libby answers common grant writing questions and introduces her PMF framework of passion, maps, and folders. She also includes model responses that show what successful grants look like in practice. Throughout the book, she weaves in personal anecdotes, lessons learned, and real-world insights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The book also highlights the importance of sustainability, dissemination, and replicability in grant proposals. It explores the emerging role of AI in grant writing. Part memoir and part roadmap, The Queen of Grants<\/em> serves as an essential resource for nonprofits and grant professionals. It offers a clearer understanding of how grant funding works behind the scenes and how to approach it with confidence, clarity, and strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where to Buy and Read: Amazon<\/a><\/strong> and Barnes and Noble<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

GrantTalk Podcast<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

GrantTalk<\/strong> is a podcast that explores the real-world impact grants have on people, communities, and programs. It is powered by GrantWatch and hosted by Libby Hikind. The podcast features conversations with nonprofit leaders, business executives, and grant seekers who have navigated the grant application process firsthand. Guests share their challenges, lessons learned, and successes, offering practical insight for organizations at every stage of their funding journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Libby interviews grant makers who explain what they look for in strong grant applications. They share personal stories about the process, how funding decisions are made, and what sets successful proposals apart. In addition, GrantWatch also celebrates the success of its MemberPlus subscribers who win grants found on the platform. When members share their wins, GrantWatch sends a commemorative 17-ounce latte mug and invites them to appear on GrantTalk. These virtual interviews highlight winning organizations, showcase effective grant strategies, and inspire others pursuing funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GrantTalk premiered in March 2024, and it continues to bring nonprofit leaders and funders together in one space. By featuring both grant makers and grant recipients, the podcast offers a balanced perspective on the grant process. This approach helps listeners gain a deeper understanding of funding and what it takes to succeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
