BONUSES END JUNE 13th, 2025***Not sure where to start with a freelance grant writing business? It sounds amazing, but you just don’t know where to start.

  • Should you start with getting grant writing skills?
  • Should you start with a website?
  • Should you start reaching out to nonprofits?
  • Do you need to start learning (or honing) grant skills first?

This can feel overwhelming.

And overwhelm can lead to taking NO action. 

That’s why when you join the Freelance Grant Writer Academy by Friday, June 13th at 11:59 pm EST, you will get VIP Bonuses (Valued at $2,500) to give you a clear path in starting your freelance grant writing business and in quitting your toxic nonprofit job.

We have coached literally hundreds of new and seasoned grant writers.

When you join the Academy before Friday, June 13th at 11:59 p.m., we will create a Done-For-You Grant Writing Business Plan for YOU.


This Done-For-You GW Business Plan will be entirely based on your experience, education, and life situation to make sense for you.

  1. First, we will analyze what causes or types of organizations you are passionate about to come up with YOUR ideal client.
  2. Next, we will analyze your education, experience, and geographic area to understand a package and retainer offer (including data-driven pricing). 
  3. Finally, we provide a 12-month Marketing Plan that is customized for you. So if you aren’t on social media yet, we provide social media optional marketing AND if you have a ton of followers, we provide ways to increase your lead generation on the platforms you use (and also non-social media marketing techniques).

This is our NEWEST Bonus and we are SO excited to include it as after working with hundreds of people in the Academy, figuring this out on your own can feel overwhelming. 

We do it for you so you can get clarity on what you do and get clients fast.

When you know what you offer, and for how much, and have a marketing plan, you get clients fast because you have confidence.
