Business Development Created for
(and by) Grant Writers & Consultants
Most experienced grant writers get stuck with their business because they lack systems and structure around their work.
They have plenty of skills as grant writers, but haven’t found the right business systems and skills to operate a highly-profitable, sustainable grant writing business.
Common Difficulties for Grant Writing Businesses
- Services were never intentionally designed
- Pricing evolved informally instead of strategically
- Scope creep has become normal
- Every client process feels labor-intensive and exhausting
- Income is tied directly to output and hours
- Time wasted on unnecessary or ineffective marketing efforts
- Needing new clients but uncomfortable with "sales"
The Grant Practice provides advanced support for grant writers and consultants who want to make more money, improve operations, and spend less time working - without starting over or years of trial and error.

”Joining Krista’s programs was one of the
best professional investments I’ve ever made.
Krista surrounds herself with an amazing team, and I’ve learned as much from the other members as from the training itself. Even though I now have the tools I need, I stay because Krista and her team are always ahead of the curve.“

“A couple of years [after joining Grant Writing Made Easy], I joined [The Grant Practice] because I wanted to take the next step — building a consulting business. At the time, I felt insecure and overwhelmed by everything that comes with entrepreneurship. With the guidance, community, and Krista’s clear, actionable coaching, I found my footing.
Today, I run my own consulting business, helping organizations strengthen their grant readiness, compliance, and fundraising capacity. Looking back, I can see how pivotal Krista’s programs were in giving me both the structure and the mindset I needed to become a business owner with clarity and purpose.”

“Everything she does is of quality, so you’re going to be in good hands. She will guide you along the way. You do your part. If you show up, if you believe in yourself, if you implement anything that she says, you are going to get some results, for sure.
It’s already lonely to be on this journey in the first place. But you have this community to compare notes with, to ask questions to, to encourage each other. That is gold.”

I would highly recommend this club to
anyone looking to structure a
profitable grant writing business.
I absolutely enjoyed [the program].

would pay for my grant writing expertise
to developing a price structure and

new or seasoned grant writing professionals
access to other accomplished professionals
who offer priceless details regarding their journey, pitfalls, success, and perspectives.

for me to get to the place that I’m in now.
Now, I feel like I’m centered.
My feet are planted firmly,
and I’m ready to go.
I want to speak to anyone who might come after me, who feels like I can’t get it together.
I don’t even know that you realize what you put together. It goes so far beyond grant writing.
It’s ridiculous. It infused my life with so many things that I didn’t even realize I’d gotten from
[The Grant Practice] until [after I finished].
I swear on everything that I love, that Krista,
you created something that was so incredible.
You’re giving so many people access to freedom,
not even just financially or freedom from the 9-5 workplace, you’re giving people
freedom in their lives.
I was so excited for all of the women in the club whose businesses were just exploding.
It’s so inspirational.

What's Special About
The Grant Practice
It's taught by trained educators who actually do the work.
We don’t just talk about grant writing. We do it every day, working with a full roster of nonprofit clients. Our courses are taught by Ph.D.-level writing experts with over 10 years of full-time grant consulting experience. We’re educators and practitioners, which means we know how to teach complex ideas clearly and make them usable in real life.
It's grounded in equity and justice.
We believe in and actively fight for racial, ethnic, economic, gender, LGBTQ+, and disability equity. Our instructional content and guest experts reflect this focus. Our pricing is on a sliding scale that is meant to counter capitalist, sexist, and racist structures that our country is built upon. If that makes you uncomfortable or you think it’s wrong, this is not the community for you.
We’re leading the way in ethical, effective AI for grant writing.
We started using AI in our consultancy in late 2022 and began teaching it in May 2023. In late 2024, we began developing the AI Grants Hub™, an advanced AI-powered workspace for grant writers. We refined the Hub for over 18 months and officially launched it in September 2025. Our approach to AI is grounded in accessibility, ethics, and results. The Hub will help you write faster, smarter, and more strategically. Our course co-leader and grant strategist, Dr. Stephanie Weaver, is a certified Notion Administrator, so you know the tech is top-notch.
It's results-oriented and community-supported.
We don’t do passive learning. You’ll take action, get feedback, and actually build momentum. Live trainings and community discussions keep you accountable and connected.
You get the exact tools and systems we use in our business.
When you join The Grant Practice, you get access to the same templates, workflows, and strategies we use to run and grow our own consulting practice. Plus, through Grant Writing Made Easier, you’ll strengthen your proposal writing, storytelling, and strategy skills. You’re supported on both the business and craft sides of grant writing.
You'll learn from a diverse network of guest experts.
You’ll hear from professionals in finance, law, marketing, business mindset, and more. You get a full picture of what it takes to run a thriving consulting business, not just one perspective.
It's designed to feel good.
Ultimately, I think everything you do as a business owner should have some element of pleasure. If not, why are you doing it? From the content to the design, to the personalities you’ll encounter, this experience will be a pleasurable one. Guaranteed.
It's accessible.
Multiple price points. Multiple learning formats. Captions, transcripts, and written guides. We don’t just talk about access, we build it into everything we do.
Frequently Asked Questions
What will we learn in The Grant Practice? Is this right for me?
The Grant Practice is designed for people who already have grant writing experience or advanced writing skills that translate easily to grant work. We do not recommend this program for people who are still learning how to write grants.
This program supports both skill-building and the internal shifts required to run a sustainable consulting business. Support is provided throughout.
To get the most value, you should be ready to dedicate at least one hour per week to implementation and do some mindset and decision-making work related to running a business.
If you need more support deciding if The Grant Practice is right for you before committing to a full year, you can purchase one month or schedule a free 15-minute strategy call to further discuss your circumstances and goals.
Should I join if I only want to learn how to write grants and don’t want to run a grant writing business?
No. If your goal is to learn grant writing skills without offering services or running a business, we recommend Grant Writing Made Easier instead.
What if I miss a live session or know I won't be able to join live most of the time because of my schedule?
All live sessions are recorded and posted in the member site within one business day.
If you know in advance that you’ll miss a session and have specific questions, you can email support@grantwritingmadeeasy.com or post your questions in the community.
Do you offer scholarships or payment plans?
To make The Grant Practice as accessible as possible, we offer equity-based pricing with three self-selected categories: Supporter, Ally, and BIPOC.
Participants choose the category that best fits them based on the definitions provided. No documentation or proof is required.
12-month payment options include:
- Supporter Plan: $4,500 pay-in-full or 12 payments of $416 (total $4,992)
- Ally Plan: $4,000 pay-in-full or 12 payments of $375 (total $4,500)
- BIPOC Plan: $3,500 pay-in-full or 12 payments of $333 (total $3,996)
What is your refund policy?
Enrollment requires a commitment to learning and implementation. We provide extensive information, testimonials, and clarity about what the program includes so participants can make an informed decision before enrolling. Full details are available in the Terms & Conditions.
What’s the difference between The Grant Practice and Grant Consulting Boot Camp?
Grant Consulting Boot Camp and Grant Writing Boss Club serve different stages of a grant writer’s business.
Grant Consulting Boot Camp is a short, self-guided program for grant writers who already know how to write grants and want to set up their services, pricing, contracts, and client systems. It focuses on implementation and helps you get a professional foundation in place quickly. There is no live support.
The Grant Practice is a year-long program for grant writers who already have paying clients and want ongoing support to improve how their business operates. It focuses on higher-value services, better pricing and scoping, advanced delivery systems, and long-term growth—with live trainings, 1-on-1 strategy sessions, and community support.
If you have never offered any services as a contracted grant writer or consultant, Boot Camp is the right place to start.
If you already have clients and want more advanced, ongoing business support, The Grant Practice is the better fit.
