Changemakers in the Academy have made $3,470,242 (and growing every day) in their grant writing businesses so far in 2025. 🔥

They’ve also secured more than $48 million in funding for their clients. 🤑

How are they doing it?

They are utilizing our Grant and Funding frameworks built on 20+ years of experience.

One mantra that I have always had is, “Don’t be 100% reliant on grant funding.”

I might be known as the grant writing girlie, but I’ve actually helped organizations get a lot of diverse funding.

And I’m doing that today, and teaching others how to do it.

With the number of grants going out over the last four years, it was easy for us grant writers to lean into just writing grants.

But it hasn’t always been like that. I’ve helped nonprofits with:

Corporate solicitations
Individual donor campaigns
Giving Tuesday campaigns
Social media and newsletters
Website copy
Presentations
Fundraising events
Consultations
And more

We have added these trainings into the Academy this year.

And students have diversified their services for nonprofit clients.

They aren’t just writing grants. They are doing other things.

These are called Funding Assets.

When you take your Master Grant Application and repurpose it into a Corporate Solicitation Letter, this is now a Funding Asset.

So for many Academy members, they are getting more clients this year because they take our Funding Asset training (and templates and resources) and then integrate them into their services.

Starting in November, we have our 6-Week Live Master Grant Template training where Academy members will learn how to create a Master Grant Template and how to repurpose it into other funding assets for their clients.
