NON-PROFIT FOUNDERS AND COMMUNITY LEADERS

Here's How To Win $100k+ In Grant Funding

Use this breakthrough method to cover your costs, grow your team, and scale your impact. 

The Book On This Page Will Show You How.

Hey, friend!

Do you want to get off of the fundraising hamster wheel and win a 6- or 7-figure grant to support the work you do in your community?

 

Here's the secret:

 

No More Piecing Resources Together, "Tin Cupping" For Individual Donations, or Paying Out Of Your Own Pocket.  Just a Simple 6-Step Process.

 

Me 10 years ago: I stopped writing grant proposals from scratch. I was done with missing $100k+ grant opportunities because it took me too long to craft the grant proposal.

 

Also 10 years ago:  I successfully won a grant for $125k with a proposal I crafted in 3 days (you read that correctly - 3 days)!

 

How did I do it?

 

I used the 6W+H Formula!

 

Then, I applied that formula over and over to win over $2MM in grant funding to support my research and community-based work.

 

Next, I invited non-profit founders and community leaders who were doing great work but strugglng to cover their costs to take a 6-week course where I coached them on how to apply the 6W+H Formula to win $100k+ grants for their organizations to cover their costs, grow their teams, and scale their impact.  Over the past two years, we've helped our clients won over $6MM in grant funding in amounts ranging from $150k - $1.5MM!

This Formula Really Works

Obviously,  I can't promise that you'll read the book I'm about to share with you and repeat my results.  It took a lot of hard work, making a lot of mistakes, and hearing some rejections along the way.  Many people will not show you the track record they have built in grant writing over the years.  However, I'm still so amazed by the 6W+H Formula and how well it has worked for me and my clients over the years, I can't help but show you my before and after in black and white.  You'll learn more about this amazing transformation in the book, but since I started consistently applying and perfecting the 6W+H Formula in 2017, my grant success rate (or win rate) increased to 77.8% over the past 7 years!  The national average win rate is between 10% and 30% according to grantprofessionals.org.  My win rate, supported by the 6W+H Formula, crushes the national rate many times over!

This formula really does work.  And not just for me!

 

Let me show you how my clients (whom I call GYG Alumni) have learned and applied the formula you'll discover inside From $0 to $100k+ in 50 Days: 6 Steps To Building Winning Grant Proposals...

How Would Your Nonprofit Change If You Could Tell the Story of Your Organization's Impact That Could Grab the Hearts and Minds of Funders?

When Emma found me she had just been hired as a grant writer for a STEM nonprofit.  Though she had grant management experience, she had never written a grant proposal before.  I helped her win her first grant for $100k (and the first grant she'd ever written) from the Goldman Sachs Foundation to support the nonprofit's work of exposing girls of color to tech.

"I really appreciated the focus on updating the goals and outcomes to align with exactly what a grant application is asking for and learning how to think more critically about our goals and outcome measures.  I also benefitted from the time to go through the resources that can be used in other proposals.  It helped me to see the bigger picture when it came to my nonprofit and it reminded me of the heart behind why the nonprofit was started and its importance to the community."

What if You Had a Predictable Way to Consistently Craft Strong Grant Proposals Quickly?

Using our proven formula, Sonia found a new $100k grant opportunity and was able to complete the grant application and submit to the opportunity by the deadline, which was 4 days after she found it!

"Dr. T['s book] provided valuable guidance, which gave me a clearer understanding of some of the [grant] application questions.  I'm excited to say that I feel more confident in navigating through and completing future grant applications more effectively."

DISCLAIMER: I have to tell you...results like this are not typical.  I've been writing winning grant proposals for 12+ years.  My clients get awesome results because we work together.  Most people do not act on what they learn (they'd rather talk about it than be about it), so they don't get any results at all.  As you know, having an impact in any community takes hard work, focus, persistence, and determination.

 

But for those who are willing to put in what's required, I can show you how to cover your costs, grow your team, and scale your impact using a simple formula that works.

Here's Some of What You'll Discover Inside This Brand New Book:

  • How the GYG Framework and the 6W+H Formula came to be and how it’s helped nonprofit founders and community leaders win $100k+ grants to cover their costs, grow their teams, and scale their impact.
  • How you can overcome the most common hurdles that keep nonprofit and community leaders from adding grant writing to their revenue mix
  • The one key element of the GYG Framework that makes the entire solution and formula work so well and so quickly
  • The real difference between goals and objectives and how to craft each
  • How to avoid making the biggest mistake when it comes to aligning (and realigning) goals and objectives
  • How to truly identify and understand your beneficiaries
  • How to describe the problem you solve in a concise statement
  • How to identify the size and activities of your project
  • How to understand how you will (and should) do the work
  • How to identify ALL the resources you’ll need to do the work
  • How to measure the success of the work
  • How to ensure you cover all your costs
  • How to build a compelling project narrative

 

This book also includes self-assessments, exercises, examples, templates, and more to help you get started with the 6W+H Formula quickly.

This Method Works Even If You Think You Don't Have Time To Write Grant Proposals

Many nonprofit and community leaders reach out to me to write grant proposals for them.  I charge A LOT to do done-for-you grant writing, and there's a reason why.

 

If you make that spend to hire me (or any other external grant writer) to write a grant proposal for you, you've spent a large sum of money with no guarantee that the grant will be awarded.  My win rate is high (78%), but it's not 100%.  No one's is.  In fact, most people's win rate (including the external grant writer you may want to hire to write the grant for you) is between 10% and 30 %.

 

Even if they win the grant for you, what about the next grant?  And the one after that? And on down the line?  You could have spent tens or hundres of THOUSANDS of dollars and still need to spend more to get the next grant proposal written.

 

OR, you can make an investment of less than $10 and learn how to build your skills to write grant proposals yourself for $100k+ grant opportunities to cover your costs, grow your team, and scale your impact.  You could also use this book to build your internal grant writer's proposal writing skills to increase your organization's win rate for less than the cost of a day's lunch.

 

I always bet on myself, and I'd rather learn to fish for myself than to pay a lot for someone external to fish for me day after day.

 

Also, most of my clients don't really want to write grant proposals.  It's really about what winning grant funding can give them:

 

  • An exit ramp off of the fundraising hamster wheel (which never seems to stop spinning)
  • Extra time to focus on more strategic aspects of the organization
  • Stable income for the year (or multiple years)
  • The ability to cover ALL the costs for community programming
  • Freedom from having to stand in the gap and pay out-of-pocket for expenses not covered by individual donations
  • The resources to hire more people to help execute the nonprofit's vision and mission
  • The capacity to reach more members of the community and increase the impact of the organization's work

So, as a way to not miss $100k+ grant opportunities that fit my nonprofit's goals and mission and/or the objectives of my scholarly research, I developed a framework and a formula to teach you in about 50 days time how to craft strong grant proposals using a formula I've refined over 12+ years that is informed by former program officers and winning investigators who have mentored me and given me feedback on my proposals through the years.

 

It only takes about 3.5 hours a week over 50 days + a formula with a few tools.  Once you understand the formula, it can only take a few days to craft strong grant proposals.

 

I reveal the full framework and formula in the From $0 to $100k+ in 50 Days: 6 Steps To Building Winning Grant Proposals book.  So, even if you don't like writing or think you aren't a good writer, you can learn how to organize the data and insights you already have to craft strong grant proposals for $100k+ grant opportunities in your voice in about 50 days.

 

It's super simple, ya'll.

 

That's why I'm so excited to be sharing this OFFER with you today!
