ONLINE COURSE: GRANT WRITING ACCELERATOR: BUILD A PROPOSAL IN A DAY

If you’ve ever thought that grant writing is too complicated or out of reach for your organization, this course will alter that mindset. It is tailored for nonprofits, charities, and social enterprises of every size, whether you’re just stepping into grant writing or you’re a seasoned professional seeking to refine your expertise.

This course is designed to be different. The hands-on nature of the course ensures you’ll leave with more than theoretical knowledge. You will have an actual, ready-to-submit proposal that you can deploy immediately, putting you back in control of your organization’s funding strategy.

During the Grant Writing Accelerator program, I will guide you through the process of mastering grant writing to secure more funding, grow your organization, and make a bigger impact. When you join, you'll receive step-by-step guidance, templates and samples, and lifetime access. There’s also an option for you to engage me to edit and review your proposal once you’ve completed the course.
