You don’t have to know how to write grants to get started.
It’s not as hard as you think.
Get paid to write grants without the hassles that come from working on the inside of a nonprofit organization.
I’ve spent 20 years writing grants, worked inside nonprofits as a grant writer, and have had a full-time freelance grant writing business. When I worked inside a nonprofit , I was working 50+ hours a week in a toxic environment and making less than $50K per year. It wasn’t until I started freelance grant writing that I reduced my workload and stress, while increasing my freelance income to 6 figures per year.

Why the Academy is #1 Rated and Unique
We Provide Expert Grant Reviews
We offer grant reviews at no extra cost inside the Academy. Grant reviews normally are around $2,500. We know that getting feedback on your grants is the quickest way to increase your grant writing skills and to get grants awarded. When you start getting grants awarded, you are more confident in getting clients. We have a decade of federal, state, and foundation grant review expertise. We have literally reviewed hundreds of grants. We know what gets funded and what doesn’t.
We Provide Business Reviews
A lot of programs may offer coaching, but are they actually looking at your website, your pricing, your services, or your unique industry concept? Are they reviewing your retainer contracts or looking at your LinkedIn profile and giving you personalized feedback to increase sales? Nope. But we do that. Because after you learn how to write grants, you CAN get clients. But if your sales page is missing a link to book a sales call, or if your services are all over the place, you won’t book out ideal clients. We eliminate you getting stuck in the weeds of your business with these reviews. (Plus, you get to see other reviews!)
The Curriculum is Simple & Short
If you have hundreds of hours of content, weekly long sessions, and lots of homework you are not going to do it. We need simple tools and methods that do just enough to:
a) free up some of our time and
b) make sure we get the strategies done!
The Freelance Grant Writer Academy gives you short, bite-sized training videos and templates for what you need, when you need it.
The content is simple, but loaded with the vital steps to move forward.
You Get Access to a Community for 12-Months
Just having online content is wonderful, but for most of us, it’s not enough. In fact, most people (myself included!) might buy an online course and never watch more than one module. It’s not because we don’t want to, it’s just not a priority. But when you have a community where you can place questions, wins, or resources every single day for 12 months, that changes things. Plus, you get to meet up twice per month on a live coaching call and see your peers and hear their questions.
Building a business takes more than 8-weeks and is lonely (and MUCH longer) when you do it on your own. We offer bi-month LIVE coaching calls AND a daily Slack channel so you get feedback as you implement the curriculum AND you get to meet up with your peers. Many students in the Academy even subcontract one another or partner on proposals with their peers.
We Serve Both Seasoned and New Grant Writers
No matter if you have never written a grant before or if you have been writing grants for decades, we have resources for you. In fact, we have folks inside who even have freelance businesses already started but they have never really taken off. We work with you to improve your grant writing skills and get your business so that it replaces your full-time income while working part-time.
We Help You Quit Your Toxic Nonprofit Job
Many of the students inside the Academy get their first client as their current job. Others get another anchor client first before they even let their current job know. We show you a few different routes that work for YOU if you are wanting to quit your current job by first having your business set up with clients.
