Your Marketing Materials

I'll share how to navigate the beast that is online and organic marketing. I provide you with a high-converting lead page template that you can then customize and publish to your website or use as your website. You'll create your own SM page on the platform of your choice, and I'll share essential SM templates with you to use to promote your biz. You'll also write promotional emails using our templates to get people interested not just in your work, but you. (You'll learn to be liked and loved because people buy from people they like and love.)

Your Client Pipeline Materials

You'll create your own customer journey map using our template, so you know exactly how you'll move customers from awareness to loyalty. You'll receive our discovery call questionnaire so that you can vet prospects before getting on a call with them. Once you do take a discovery call, you can use our discovery call script and slides that you can revise to move clients from consideration to acquisition. Then once you sign your client using our proposals and contracts, you can use our client onboarding templates to make the process smooth for everyone.

What You'll Learn

How to Strategically Sell Your Services

You get our proprietary templates + start selling right away to make your:

First $3K - You'll learn how to sell and deliver our $3k Grant Search and Strategy Project. You'll get the exact templates we use to get the work done, our written processes for completing the project, and the materials we use to pitch and sell this to prospective clients.
First $10k - You'll learn how to pitch and do the work of our $10k+ Standard Grant Narrative Project. Again, you'll get the exact templates we use to get the work done as well as examples of this completed project. You'll also learn how to pitch it to clients and how to onboard clients for success with this particular project (and yes, there are more templates included for this!).
First $36k - You'll learn all the intricate details of selling and delivering The Grant Launch Project to your clients. This package includes our Grant Readiness Assessment, Grant Search & Strategy, Standard Grant Narrative, and AI Grants Hub. Not only will we show you how to do this in the first unit of the course, we'll let you watch us do it for a real client in our Work Shadowing program so you can see what completing the project really looks like.

Services & Pricing - Learn how to identify your strengths and package your services in a way that sells. I'll share my proven 3-step method to land your first (or next) client in 30 days—plus templates, examples, and behind-the-scenes insights from my own business. You’ll also get my evolving strategies for designing and pricing services, including a full breakdown of what I charged from day one to today.
Build a Client Pipeline - You’ll learn how to fill your client calendar—whether you want a few clients or a full roster. We’ll show you how to build a strong client pipeline through cold outreach, networking, social media, email, and free trainings. You’ll learn how to keep prospects moving from awareness to discovery calls to signed contracts—and how to make sure there are always folks in every stage of that process. We’ll also share a variety of client-getting strategies so you can choose the ones that best match your strengths and your schedule.
Get Legit - You'll learn the legal aspects of setting up your business for success and keeping yourself protected as your business grows. We have a guest speaker, Dave Kurlinkus, an attorney licensed in the state of Illinois who has represented clients in business law for the last 30 years. We worked together on developing two contract templates for you to use for your business. You'll learn how to set up your business depending upon your circumstances and needs, revise our client contract templates, and understand the legalities of grant writing consultant and client relationships.
Do the Work - You'll learn how to design work processes that serve you, your clients, and your business. I’ll walk you through the systems I use to gather everything I need in the first month, deliver high-quality work, and create a smooth, professional client experience.
You'll learn workflows, project management, SOPs, file organization, invoicing, handling late payments, managing retainers, setting boundaries, and wrapping up projects with care.

Get the Boss Mindset - We reframe productivity through a feminist, anti-capitalist lens. Rather than hustle and grind, we promote feel-good productivity. You'll explore a values-based approach to work that centers joy, rest, and sustainability, while still making meaningful progress on your goals. Through five key strategies—redefining success, knowing yourself, making a feel-good plan, staying in your lane with support, and regularly revisiting your approach—you’ll walk away with practical tools to design a workflow that actually feels good and works.
Create Passive Income - I’ll show you how I transformed my grant writing business by adding digital products and online courses. I’ll teach you how to build this smart, sustainable system for long-term growth. These tools do two powerful things: (1) They create a steady stream of (mostly) passive income, helping you stay financially stable even when client work dips. (2) They double as a client magnet—automating your pipeline so new prospects come to you.
Build Wealth - No one goes into business to be broke. You'll learn how to transform your finances so that you can make good money while also making an impact. You'll learn about budgeting, cash flow, and forecasting so that you never wonder (or worry) about your numbers again.
Sign Clients - You'll learn how to move client prospects from interested to begging to get started today. You'll get multiple pricing, scripts, and sales strategies to get new clients onboard ASAP.
Create a Team - If you want to go from freelancer to Boss, you'll need to build a team. You'll learn how I have hired and managed a team of both salaried, W-2 grant writers and 1099 contractors to grow and scale my business over the last 10 years.

What will we learn in Grant Writing Boss Club? Is this right for me?

You should either already have some grant writing experience or advanced writing skills in another field that you can easily translate into grant writing skills. We don't believe in throwing people into consulting if they don't have the writing skills to do it successfully.

You should be ready to take the time and mental space to attend the monthly trainings, grant writing workshops, and office hours (or at least watch the recordings if you can't be there live). You can expect to do at least 1 hour of work each week.

You should be willing to be engaged in a community of folks who are there to support you and get your feedback as well. Showing up to the trainings, workshops, and office hours as often as you can and communicating with your peers on our Mighty Networks community is important to your success.

You should be ready to do some inner work to get yourself in the right mindset to succeed in your business. This is absolutely the most challenging but most essential part of doing this work. We'll be there to help you.

Should I take this course if I want to learn to write grants but have no interest in opening a grant writing business or being a freelance grant writer?

No, if you're interested in learning to write grants only, we recommend taking Grant Writing Made Easier.

Can I share a club membership with someone else?

No, each club member must purchase their own separate membership.

Can I join at a later date?

Yes, but registration may not be open again until 2026.

If you know in advance you can't make a training and have specific questions on that month's topic, please email support@grantwritingmadeeasy.com with your questions or post them in the student community.

You can reset your password from Mighty Networks login area. If you still have trouble logging in after resetting your password or need help with something else, email support@grantwritingmadeeasy.com, and we'll respond within one business day.

Do you offer scholarships or other payment plans?
