Dear Reader, As fall deadlines start to wrap up, don’t wait around and risk missing the first calls of 2026. Early deadlines are closer than they seem, and a strong application still takes months to prepare. If you want to secure more funding opportunities in the year ahead, now is the time to act. I still have a few spots open to help you get ready for early 2026 submissions. 👉🏽 Reach out here. Until next month, Matt |
