Non-Profit Grants Proposal Specialist

We need funding from like-minded organizations and companies to help us turn back the tide of progressive “regressive” madness before it fundamentally destroys America as we know it. We need an open-minded Grant Funding Specialist who can find untapped foundations sympathetic to our cause. If you have Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS), you're not the right candidate for this project. Candid/Foundation Directory has failed us in finding us grantors and we believe Cause IQ may be a better option. Because 90% + of today's foundations lean left and are staffed by woke Millennials and Gen-Z, we're hoping someone relatively new to philanthropic funding, a sapient conservative with innovative searching methodology and untapped funding sources, able to "think outside of the box," might be the right fit for us. The SAPIENT Being is a 501 c (3) non-profit educational association and think tank whose primary objective is to fight the illiberalism of the Progressivism movement throughout America’s academic and educational institutions. We offer three programs to help accomplish these goals and they are the Sapient Conservative Textbooks (SCT) Program, Free Speech Alumni Ambassador (FSAA) Program, and Make Free Speech Again On Campus (MFSAOC) Program. The SAPIENT Being is leading the fight against the illiberalism of the Progressivism movement throughout America’s academic and educational institutions and our long term goal is to create a Society Advancing Personal Intelligence and Enlightenment Now Together (S.A.P.I.E.N.T.) and develop sapience in the process. We accomplish our objective by protecting freedom of speech, enhancing viewpoint diversity. and developing intellectual humility so students, administrators, and professors can appreciate American exceptionalism, Western European culture, and Judeo-Christian values throughout America’s high schools and college campuses as well as all other educational institutions—and develop sapience in the process.
