Grant Writing & Funding Revitalizing Farming: Elaina's Grant Writing Business and Impact in Agriculture
This episode, Elaina Michale is on a mission to accelerate regenerative agriculture through her grant writing and funding services.
Elaina explains the benefits of having a niche for your grant writing business, how to find more grant writing clients, and the ways to improve your grant writing skills.
She also talks about the usefulness of being in a grant writing community, and the different ways that a grant writing mentorship programme has helped her.
About Elaina Michael
Elaina has always been drawn to understanding and deepening our connection to the land and each other, which led her to pursue a learn-by-doing B.S. in Animal Science and M.S. in Ruminant Nutrition. Both degrees ultimately revealed to her the depth of interdependence between land and animals – including humans.
Following her studies, she sought to continue her boots-on-the-ground education by working with reindeer in remote parts of Alaska, herding and milking Sarda sheep in Italy, frequenting horse-back excursions with local ranchers outside of Yosemite National Park to check on cattle in some of the most rugged terrain, and now through Ecological Outcome Verification monitoring through the Savory Institute.
Her own first-hand knowledge of the impacts of being connected with the land as well as witnessing her only brother’s internal transformation through wilderness recovery programs following his battle with heroine has solidified Elaina’s commitment to getting kids outside and addressing the root cause of breakdowns in society through agriculture and land-connection.
Refonte Ventures stems from these passion areas and an urgency to accelerate the rate of education and adoption of regenerative agriculture through grant-writing for and growing organizations, farms, and individuals with a holistic lens.
