You may already be a freelance grant writer (or a grant writer at a nonprofit), and this week was chaotic for you.

Your nonprofit clients may be asking you a lot of questions about what’s going on in the world of grants.
Here are some things we have been talking to with our Academy Changemaker Students this week (January 2025), that may apply to your Clients:
1. Advocate for Funding
2. Evaluate Your Nonprofit’s Budget
3. Put all Cash Ideas on the Table
4. Broaden or Double Down in Funding
5. Do a Strategic Planning Session
6. Practice Self-Care

When you join the Freelance Grant Writer Academy by Sunday, Feb. 2nd we will help you immediately come up with a plan for your clients based on the types of organizations you work with, cause areas, and more.

We will help create a personalized plan for you.

Plus, we already include a Course (including workbooks) on how to lead a Strategic Planning Session so you can implement that next week.

Join now so you have a go-to resource for all of 2025. You don’t want to spend all your time Googling what’s happening and trying to figure out how to get your clients results.
We got you.

When you join the Freelance Grant Writer Academy, aspiring and seasoned grant writers get everything you need – including how to get your clients results during the changes of grant priorities this year. 

Tune in today.
