I just applied for a $10,000 #grant in under 10 minutes!!!!!! As a #founder , and occasional fisherwoman, I have a never-ending to-do list and my time is my most valuable asset. So naturally, I live by systems—tools and processes that create efficiency while preserving the authenticity and impact of my work. And #fundraising is no exception. This past week was a perfect example. It was packed with back-to-back meetings, but I discovered a $10,000 grant through @grantedtech.ca that was a perfect fit for my work but I just didn’t have enough time to fit it into what has been a chaotic week. The old me would have passed up this amazing #fundingopportunity because of the busyness. New me? She has @grantedtech.ca by her side and submitted this application IN UNDER 10 MINUTES!!! How, you ask? I simply: ✅ logged in my @grantedtech.ca account ✅ made sure my profile was up-to-date on my organization’s detail created a “Project” I want funding for (@grantedtech.ca has a new voice-to-text feature that dictated key points about my projects right into the platform - a huge time-saver!). ✅ From there, I let @grantedtech.ca ’s AI Grant Writing Assistant work its magic: it finds the #grants and generates a draft based on MY info and MY project, and gets you 90% of the way there in minutes. And the best part is, I didn’t have to choose between running my business and finding funding for it. My co-founder Obed and I (and our small but mighty team!) built @grantedtech.ca so you could do both. With ease! Check out a complete walkthrough of how @grantedtech.ca can you you find, apply for, manage and secure grants here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tviILZ_8CNA Create an account and save time on your grant-seeking: https://grantedtech.ca/ Link in bio ❤️❤️

I’ve learned that the best coaches don’t just inspire you — they equip you. They walk with you. They open doors you didn’t even know existed. If you’re ready for that kind of support, DM “coach” — 2 spots left this month 💬 #MehnazTalksAI #CoachingWithHeart #WomenWhoLead #GrowthWithIntention #MentorshipMatters
