Question for you . . .
What if you could finally get consistent revenue for your nonprofit with grants?
Registration Closing Permanently In:
Many nonprofit leaders know the potential of applying for grants to
fund their work and grow their impact, but there's a huge problem.
Most nonprofits can't afford to pay a grant writer and none of their staff or volunteers know how to write grants.
Instead they:
- Run their organization on a shoestring budget
- Use mostly volunteers to get the work of their programs done, aka not paying their founder/Executive Director
- Rely on small, sporadic individual donations and fundraising events (that could get canceled at any time due to health concerns)
- Cut entire programs or essential expenses that they really need
- Haven't even tried applying for grants because they feel like it's just a waste of time they could be spending serving their community
I've seen it time and time again: Nonprofit leaders who have invested time, money, and energy into grants . . . and NOT seen the outcome they desire.
I'm here to tell you it's not your fault.
You learn about grant opportunities that might be a good fit at the 23rd hour and have to throw together an application that is nowhere near what it could be.
Or you aren't hearing about grants that you're eligible for at all and are wondering how these other nonprofits are pulling in grant after grant.
After spending the last 7 years writing grants for small nonprofits and then helping thousands learn to write successful grants, I have consistently seen and heard the same grant issues persist for nonprofit leaders.
They're tired, burnt out, and nervous when it comes to grants. They know grants can be the key to bringing in consistent and large amounts of revenue, but, frankly, they have no clue how to do it.
What if there was a better way?
If you want to learn to write compelling grants the easy
(and profitable) way, I have something for you . . .

And having the ability to submit grant proposals that get funders to know, like, and trust you even if they've never heard of your nonprofit before.
How would it feel to know that every day you are growing your funding pipeline with grantmakers who are in perfect alignment with your values?
How would life feel if you were not so worried about where your next donation will come from because you have a grant writing system working to consistently bring ideal grantmakers to you?
Imagine sending grant proposals to foundations and they're thrilled to read them!
Yes, it's really possible...it happens to my clients and students all the time!
Grantmakers are smart.
They want to read genuine, clear, thoughtfully planned grants.
So what if you wrote grants in a way that make grantmakers excited about and grateful for your application?

The Ultimate Strategic Planning
Digital Workbook
You know the saying "if you fail to plan, you plan to fail?" Well, we have seen this hold true time and time again for nonprofits.
Grantmakers expect you to have a strong strategic plan that you actually follow, and often they'll ask you to attach it in with your grant proposal.
This workbook will help you go from 0 to 60 with a strategic plan, while also making your whole team and BoD part of the planning process.
In it, you'll learn:
- How to define your strategic planning goals, so that you create strategic plan that you actually need, a plan that is likely to work for your organization, and a plan that you are motivated to do well...
- How to plan your planning, so that you and your team are on the same page and complete the strategic plan within your ideal timeframe.
- How to actually plan, including specifics about designing a new vision, mission, core values, core priorities, objectives, and action plan.

-Tricia Johnson, Grant Writer
The critical thinking piece of the lessons—what are the grantmakers really asking with this question—has been most helpful. I've gained more confidence and figured out how to decipher applications.

After working with nonprofit, government, and academic research clients around the country, I started teaching grant writing online, with the hopes of providing university-level writing education to grant writers and democratizing grant funding for small organizations.
I draw on my expertise as a Ph.D. in Rhetoric, Composition and Literacy Studies and my 6+ years of teaching university writing to provide the best grant writing education on the market.

You Have Questions
I have answers
1. Right now is a very busy time for me. I'm worried I won't have time! Is there a course deadline or can I go at my own pace?
There is no course deadline or schedule. Once you join you can complete it at your own pace. Since you have lifetime access, there is no pressure to finish it right away.
2. I'm not super tech savvy. Will this program be accessible to me?
Yes, if you know how to log into a website, that's all you need to know. The course is simple to navigate, allows you to check off work as you complete it so you'll always know where you are in the content. We also have a learner support specialist who can help you if you need it at support@grantwritingmadeeasy.com.
3. Can I share a program membership with someone else in my nonprofit?
Yes, you can share a program membership under a single username and password with up to one other person within a nonprofit organization of under 10 people. Larger organizations will need additional memberships. You are not permitted to share access to the course materials outside of your organization.
4. Can you write the grant for me?
Writing of a grant (or a done-for-you service) is not included with purchase of The Ultimate Guide to Grant Writing or any other course.
It is impossible to write a grant for every student in the course for the price we charge for the course. If you want grants written for you and do not want to learn to do it yourself, please do not purchase the course.
You can read more about working with us as a client here.
Still undecided?
This program is a perfect fit for you if . . .
- You need help getting grant ready. You're not sure whether you're financially, legally, and organizationally ready to apply.
- You often see grant opportunities that seem like a perfect fit for your work, but can't quite wrap your head around the requirements.
- You know what you need to say, but don't know how to say it. You end up sitting in front of a blank screen, the blinking cursor counting down the seconds until the grant is due.
- You're not sure which grants to apply for at all or even how to go about evaluating the likelihood of getting a grant award.
- You're tired of trying to figure everything out on your own.
Put simply, you want to write successful grants and run a successful nonprofit.
And Now is the Time
In 2020, 50% of nonprofits received at least 25% of their revenue from foundation, corporate, and government grants. (Source)
That means that if you're not getting grants, you're missing out on a significant potential revenue stream.
And even if "only" 25% of your revenue is from grants, receiving grants has a much bigger impact than that 25%.
Grant awards provide a level of credibility to your organization that compels more individuals to donate, government agencies to contract with you, and volunteers to work for you.
Not only that, the current world circumstances have compelled foundations to give even more funding to nonprofits.
In 2020 (still waiting on data for last year), giving by foundations increased by 17% (17!). That's an astronomical increase for giving.
Foundations gave $88.5 billion in 2020, the highest dollar amount of all time. (Source)
Can you imagine?
Imagine having a grant narrative that compels grantmakers to fund your work, without the overwhelm, stress, or
last-minute rush to hit submit.
What would happen? Let me ask my crystal ball . . .
I joined Krista's course because I wanted to learn phrases and ideas on how to make my story flow. I needed more assistance with my logic model, so Krista’s background in English and her writing skills were a big motivating factor for me in signing up.
I have received over $500,000 in grants, and I contribute that to Krista's instruction. Before I had only won a $2,500 community grant.
-Mary Alexander, Executive Director, Unique Fabrics
Krista breaks it down in a complete step-by-step process; she tells you what you need to have in order to apply; guides you on keeping track of info; she lets you know what info you need to help secure grants; and guides you on where to look for grant opportunities.
I was able to successfully get our company's financial track record streamlined because I knew ahead of renewal time what I was going to need records of.
I successfully got renewal grants awarded, as well as applied for and received 2 other grants on my own. I received almost $70,000 in grants for the year.
Thank you so much for guiding me through a difficult situation and helping me gain confidence to search other opportunities.
