This show is for grant writers who are working in nonprofits or already have a few freelance clients but haven't replaced their nonprofit income yet, and don't have a clear system to get there.
You already know how to write grants. Now you need to build the business.
Each week, you'll learn how to find and close better-fit clients, price and package your services, create predictable revenue, use AI strategically, and build a freelance grant writing business that gives you more income, flexibility, and freedom.
Hosted by grant writing expert and bestselling author Holly Rustick, CEO of Grant Writing & Funding and founder of the Freelance Grant Writer Academy, the show draws on Holly's 20+ years in grant writing and the nonprofit sector and 14+ years building her own business.
You'll learn how to:
- Price and package your services to easily land clients
- Find grant writing nonprofit clients that pay you
- Build consistent monthly revenue
- Market yourself as a grant professional and business owner
- Use AI and modern systems for your grant writing and business without becoming replaceable
- Create systems that allow you to work fewer hours as you grow
Holly's students have collectively generated more than $12.5 million in their own freelance grant writing businesses and secured more than $300 million in grants for their clients.
