Thanks Jesse! This is rather a sticky situations because it isn't the organization I work for but a partnering organization who hired a consultant."

- What is your greatest challenge in obtaining grants?
- I believe the greatest challenge of obtaining grants is really getting to the heart of the organization's mission and finding uniqueness. So many nonprofits have started up after Katrina and they don't seem to be collaborating. I think this is weighing down the funders in my area by having to read so many proposals and also that everyone is writing grants now. The field is not as specialized as it used to be and everyone wants to assume the grantwriter roll without really having the knowledge of knowing what they are doing.
