I joined this community in May when I quit my full-time job as a Grant Manager and jumped into consulting full-time. I’m already on track to hit 6 figures by the end of the year. The community, education, and support is unbelievable.

🙏 Huge thank you to all the Unicorns, and Coach Jess, who helped us with a sticky client situation last week. I’m so grateful for this community and inspired by all the work you’re doing for good! 🦄

Shoutout to Suzanne for being a great unicorn to work on federal grants with. I found her through this platform so it is so nice we have this as a resource. We just submitted a $2.3 million DOE project yesterday.

Shoutout to the Learn Grant Writing budget tutorial on cost-sharing since I had to explain that to the client about five times. Now I'm going to finish this grant writing class :)

I’ve contributed to many grants, but the information I’ve already gotten from this curriculum has expanded my knowledge base exponentially. Even if you’ve worked on grants before, this course is really worth every penny and minute spent on it if you start from the beginning and don’t skip around.

I'm so confident about my ability to do this work, and it's such a confidence boost when I say things I've learned here to non-profit leaders and see recognition in their responses. Best decision I made this past year was joining!

I toppled the $15k mountain right before I joined the collective a month ago. AND PERFECT TIMING because I am seeing all the course curriculum and it is exactly what I need. I am thrilled to see that little $15k next to my name.

I was a Learn Grant Writing lurker for 2 years. Since then, I advocated my in-house position for a promotion and secured a significant side hustle contract…the support given from this group facilitated the success and gave me courage to take the steps necessary to grow.

I just want to say thanks and show gratitude for taking the time to review my LOI. That was my first post asking for review help and she answered! The community is REAL!

Within the last three days, two big grant proposals were awarded — $250,000 and $450,000! In addition to the other proposals, this puts me at about $1 million in awards in my first year of grant writing. All my cells are buzzing with joy right now! 😁

I have yet another win for today! I was "granted" another contract today for grant consulting! It's for 127.00 per hour, helping BIPOC female-led businesses navigate grant writing woes and obtain funding! The course works. The community works. The knowledge gained from this blessed collective works!

I received my first signed contract ($22,500) for grant writing! A special thanks to Alex, Meredith and Jess for keeping my head in the game and helping me push through. So grateful to be among such an amazing group of people. 🥰

The Collective equipped me with the systems and tools to take my career to another level. I gained the experience to win millions of dollars in grants for nonprofits. The Collective has helped me not just as a grant writer, but as a businesswoman and as a human being.

The Collective has given me all the tools and templates that I need to actually become a freelance grant writer. I have never been an entrepreneur, but the Collective provides everything you need to go from 0 to 100. This program has changed the whole trajectory of my life!
