Quote

I have found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver.

You’re established, have a cause, and are confident in the work that you do, so you go to apply. However, before you get to the application, you see something called an “eligibility quiz” pop up. Being qualified to start finding grants and being eligible to apply for a grant are not one in the same.
