Welcome to the #1 Grant Writing Podcast in the World

Welcome to the #1 Ranked Podcast on Grant Writing in the World! We've been around since 2017, with world-renowned grant writing expert and bestselling author Holly Rustick, CEO of Grant Writing & Funding leading the charge. 

Holly coaches new and experienced grant writers to quit their toxic nonprofit jobs and replace their full-time income while writing grants part-time from home through her signature programs: 
By 2030, Holly and students in her signature programs are leading the Movement to:
  • Secure $1 Billion in Grants for Good AND 
  • $30 Million of Revenue Made in their Freelance Grant Writing Businesses.
So far, they are well over a 1/4 of the way there!  

Holly has 20+ years of grant writing and nonprofit experience, an MA in International Political Economy, is past-president of the Guam Women’s Chamber of Commerce, served as one out of 5 members under the Governor of Guam on the Business Recovery Task Force during the pandemic, and is an unapologetic feminist.
