Because Now is the Time to Increase Your Grant Writing Skills
If you don’t figure this out, the nonprofit you work with will not receive all that funding that you know they can! Believe me, I’ve been there. It took me years to figure out how to write grants, but I’ve taken all my knowledge and turned it into a tangible system for you so you can fast-track the learning process.
Plus, if you don’t figure out how to write a grant, you will always have that nagging desire of how you could have helped more nonprofits reach their mission, gotten that job promotion, or started a side or full-time hustle.
You know that if you just had a system, resources, templates, and feedback that you can succeed in writing grants.
You really do want to help nonprofits get funding. You really are passionate about their growth.
If you could just tap into that talent and passion you have for writing, then wow! Just maybe your grant writing skills could provide jobs, fund youth shelters, conduct research for endangered animals, or other programs that make the world a better place.
Without you taking the next step, all of these programs, dreams, and needs will not be fulfilled…that school, hospital, or community center will not be built.
But the problem is you really are not confident in your grant writing skills.
Let’s face it, you’ve only written a few grants or you maybe you haven’t written any for years. You need to build up those skills.
You might be thinking…
How does one even start to write a grant?
Where does one find grants?
How do I know if I am writing grants in the right way?
First, you just don’t know where to start and are overwhelmed.
Second, even if you do find grants to write, you won’t know how to efficiently get the grant proposal done so you will waste huge amounts of time.

But the problem is that you don’t really know where to start with grant writing.
You don’t have an agenda with downloadables to lead you through a comprehensive, yet streamlined, system.You don’t have hundreds of hours to learn.You need short tutorials with downloadables that you can accomplish in a day-long retreat or throughout board meetings.
You might be thinking…
How does one EVEN start to write a grant?
What is the secret to finding grant funding opporunities?
What is all included in writing the grant?
How do I write a budget and budget narrative?
https://grantwritingandfunding.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/new-button-400×139.jpg
I’ve written hundreds of grants to date, but when I think back to the first time I opened a blank doc and started drafting a grant… I cringe. Hard!
I knew nothing about crafting a deliberate grant application. My writing strategy was haphazard at best. It didn’t feel great.
So before my next grant project, I devoted hours to learning from the best that I knew. Today, I turn down many more clients than I accept, and my grant projects have led to tons of new business.
Want to know exactly what I learned and how to write winning grants?
Then keep reading…

My Introduction to Grant Writing
When I first started to write grants, I had no clue what to do. In fact, I was helping out in Aceh, Indonesia after the Asian Tsunami of 2004. All I knew was that I could help connect the community with the larger United Nations organizations that had funding so I gave it a go.
I was thrilled and absolutely LOVED being a liaison, but I knew I had to up my skills. It was frustrating trying to understand what all the grant terminology meant. And I really had no clue about drafting a budget. All I knew was that I enjoyed telling a story through writing and getting funds to help communities, but I didn’t really know anything about grants.
https://grantwritingandfunding.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/aceh-600×507.jpg
Continued Learning
After my contract was finished I went back to the States and started working at a grant writing agency and started refining my skills. I started writing more grants that got secured. However, there was still a gap. I started taking courses, going to training, and writing more and more grants.
This was the perfect job for me as I was able to travel the world (Kuwait, Abu Dhabi, Morocco, and Belgium to name a few) and complete a Master’s Degree in International Political Economics.
How I Came Up with the Grant Writing Formula
https://grantwritingandfunding.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/nawic-pic-600×450.jpg
But as I worked with more and more nonprofits, I realized that there were certain trends to writing grants. I asked myself, “What if I create a Master Grant Application?”
I did just that and it shaved HOURS and HOURS off my time and helped the nonprofit for years.
I also developed checklists, questions to ask in the initial grant kick-off meeting, and grant research hacks so I was efficient with the nonprofit’s time and I didn’t have to bother them a thousand times with unnecessary follow-up. Wowza!
They found that super professional and I finally felt organized!
How This Formula Has Helped Others Secure Grant Funding
Since 2005, I have been able to secure millions of dollars of grants by developing my G.R.A.N.T.S. formula!
This took me 15 years of writing grants to develop. I then published an Amazon Bestselling book (used in universities across the United States), developed a Grant Writing Master Course (have sold more than 1,000!), and since 2017 have had the top-ranked podcast on grant writing, “Grant Writing & Funding.”
This is how I get over staring at a blank screen and started to win grants and help nonprofits!
This is the formula I have been teaching to others for years now through my book and then I dive deep in my Grant Writing Master Course.
My students have been able to win millions of dollars in grants by using this formula, shave off hours of time staring at a blank screen, and increase programs for nonprofits around the world!
You’ll learn in 6 Weeks what took me 15 years to develop!

Why the 6-Week Grant Writing Training Can Help You
I started off with writing grants, not sure what to do, too. But I didn’t have a formula. Instead, I dedicated years of my life (nearly two decades!) to writing grants, researching best practices, having mentors review grants, starting a podcast to bring on experts in all areas of grant writing, and even becoming a federal grant reviewer! I’ve been on every side of writing grants.
I have taught more than 1,000 students to learn grant writing and I know I can help you!
Each week through the Grant Writing & Funding Podcast and YouTube Channel I reached thousands, as well. And guess what? People let me know that my grant writing process has helped them receive grant funding and be more confident when submitting grants!
My grant writing book is even used in universities across the United States and I’ve been featured as a speaker for trainings around the world.

What Makes the 6-Week Grant Writing Training Your Go-To Place?
To get really good at writing grants, you need to write grants :). However, before you turn them into the funding source it is helpful if what you are submitting is top-notch. After all, you spend hours and hours writing the grant so you really want it to get funded. Your sweat equity is HUGE!
The 6-Week Grant Writing Training not only gives you instruction and templates to write compelling grants, you will also get feedback during the training! This is a huge value as getting feedback can make the difference between getting funded or not. Plus, it will help save you time when you go down a project rabbit hole.
Throughout the 6 weeks, you will work on a Master Grant Application or you can bring in a real live grant that you are working on submitting, and get feedback from Holly and your cohort. World-renowned grant writer Holly Rustick also provides reviewing grants as a stand-alone service that ranges from $1,500 and up. You will get that level of feedback included within the six weeks.
If you have hundreds of hours of content and a 300-page manual, you’re not going to get into it.
If you have a myriad of content you are trying to learn from (i.e. random YouTube videos, downloadables from various sources) you are going to feel disjointed and things (links) are going to get lost.
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 6-Week Grant Writing Training is a six module system that includes a resource library for you to return to again and again. For instance, if you are working on a logic model in the future and want a refresher you can return to the logic modal section and brush up on your skills and download the logic modal samples.
I give you everything you need to ensure you increase your ability to write effective grant proposals.
This is not a generic “just ask for more funding” kind of course. I’ve created a system that walks you through the entire grant writing process. This starts with understanding grants all the way to submitting them.
The 6-Week Grant Writing Training will provide the exact step-by-step that I have used for decades to secure grant funding.
Inside the 6-Week Grant Writing Training, you’ll find weekly Zoom sessions, video lessons, downloadable worksheets and checklists, and get access to a Private Facebook group!
The 6-Week Grant Writing Training is a six-week course where you will increase your grant writing skills and confidence!

What’s next for you?
The 6-Week Live Grant Writing Training is a Six Week online training walking you through everything you need to know to learn how to write grants and where to find them.
This is for you if:
You’re at the point of decision.
You can either continue down the path where you have a passion and desire to make a difference in the world and leave a legacy with your work, but you don’t take the next step.
Instead, you backtrack down a path that is familiar and comfortable and where you’ll wind up in the same place you’ve always been; wishing you could make a real impact.
But if you want something different to happen, if you want to change the direction of the funding that you can help nonprofits secure and of the impact you can make in the world you’re going to have to do something different. Make a decision to be your ‘different’ and to be that change agent.
I look forward to helping you write effective and persuasive grant proposals and see you in the Live 6-Week Grant Writing Training!
Warmly,
Holly
