Here are 5 reasons you should join the Freelance Grant Writer Academy in this Round (i.e. before the doors close on June 22nd).


#1) Live Discovery Sales Call Day Lab: Learn, Practice, Convert 

Happening on Tuesday, June 24th at 2:30 pm  - 5pm EST (replay available)

We will have a LIVE SALES CALL DAY for Academy students. This will be part of our annual live trainings!

  • #1 - I’ll do a Sales Call training (my 5-Step Proven Process to have high-converting calls)
  • #2 - We have mock sales calls (to show you how to do things right and wrong)
  • #3 - Breakout rooms so you can practice sales calls!

You will get an ethical sales process that doesn’t feel salesy at all, and that is curated to do sales with nonprofits for grant writing services (for-profit sales is different!). 


You will build confidence so you actually go MARKET and don’t feel weird on sales calls again, or give discounts!  Learn how to overcome all the objections in an ethical way.

Amazing! AND we won’t be offering this Live training again until next year.


#2) We have Quit Your Job Training in late July.

This will be another LIVE training for those of you looking to quit your job. We will show you:

  • How much money to set aside before quitting your job
  • Transition your 9-5 into an anchor client
  • Quickly get a client to build some savings
  • A Script on how to have the ‘quit your job conversation’ with your boss
  • How to start treating your 9-5 like a client NOW
  • A Timeline to quit your job safely and responsibly

#3) It’s Mid-Year

Oftentimes people overestimate what they can do in a year, but underestimate what they can do in 6 months. 

What’s great about making a goal mid-year is that you still have time to do A LOT and have impact. 

In fact, it’s easier mid-year to meet your goal (vs beginning of the year), because the time doesn’t feel so vast. You know you have limited time. But you know you have enough time to learn a new skill, start a business, or get clients. 

You might just need help meeting that goal you made in January. And with everything with grants and change this year, you might not have hit the goals so far that you wanted to.

2025 is a quarter of the way through the century.

2025 can still be your milestone year if you resolve to have a goal NOW.


#4) Earn More Money Today for Your Retirement

Retirement might feel far away or it might be around the corner.

You might be a young mom in your 20s and thinking about what retirement will look like one day.

Or you might be ready to retire this year.

In either case, when you become a freelance grant writer, you will learn how to increase income for your retirement.

That might mean you can start adding more into your social security NOW because your revenue will increase. Another year of adding into that retirement could ESPECIALLY mean a LOT if you are younger because of compound interest.

Or it could mean that you are now set up to retire this year as a freelance grant writer and earn some more money into your golden years, without having the pressure of working a full-time job.

When you start TODAY that will add to your retirement starting today.


5) Join tonight to get the BEST Bonuses!

If you are on the fence, you should just go ahead and make the investment tonight. Why?

Because you still have another 9 days before the doors actually close the Academy.

Since you are on my newsletter list, you joined because you were interested in grant writing or freelance grant writing. In the Academy, we have BOTH.

You will get more emails over the next 9 days. We will share all components of how people just like you are changing their entire lives by writing grants from home.

It's possible.

If you don't join tonight, chances are you will join before the doors close on June 22nd...

But you won't be able to have access to these AMAZING BONSUES. 

In fact, Bonus #2 is happening before the doors even close. 

  • You won’t get a Done-For-You Grant Writing Business Plan
  • You won’t get a Grant Writing Package and Pricing Outlined for You.
  • You won’t get a Grant Writing Retainer and Pricing developed for you.
  • You won’t get a 12-Month Marketing Plan curated for YOU.
  • You won't get a customized list of 25 nonprofit leads.
  • You won't get a personalized system of how to make $10K in 90 days in the program.
  • You won't get a Checklist (you can start next week!) to quit your job.
  • You won't get a Checklist to write a grant.
  • You won't get a checklist to create a 6-figure business.
  • You won't get 2.5 hours in a small coaching group with me where I will hear about your specific situation.

If you are on the fence of joining, join by Friday, June 13th so you can be sure to get these BEST Bonuses. They are not included inside the Program.

You could have momentum now. Instead of kicking yourself for not joining earlier.

2025 is already a year like no other in the Academy. We have EXTRA support and tons of live training and peer sharing this year.
