Abstract

“Soft money” refers to external funding sources for an organization, including grant funding, as compared to “hard money,” which is ongoing funding. For employees, it is preferable to be hired on a hard money budget because to be hired on a soft money one may mean job insecurity (temporariness), limited benefits, and other challenges. This work explores chasing soft money for a public two-year institution of higher education (IHE) entails in the particular time period (post-pandemic) and after a year of having trained the workforce to professional understandings of grant seeking. Along the way are further lessons learned, too, for the grant writer.
