Build your business.
Write some grants.
Make an impact.
Many aspiring grant writers worry they don't have enough experience or knowledge to succeed. The pressure of writing proposals that can impact real funding decisions adds to the fear of failure or rejection.
The idea of launching a business without a guaranteed client base can feel overwhelming. New grant writers often fear they won’t know where to find clients, how to market themselves, or how to compete with more experienced professionals.
Starting any business involves risk, and grant writing is no different. From setting pricing to managing taxes and contracts, the uncertainty around building a sustainable income as a freelancer or business owner can be intimidating.
Build your business step-by-step from picking a name to pricing your offer to finding clients.
Discover smart, efficient ways to search for grants that actually match an organization's mission.
Figure out how to respond to questions in a way that the funders will pay attention and help you win that grant.
Capture the story of the organization with these tips on what to look for, how to frame the story, and what to write.
Learn some key editing strategies and the art of follow-up, tracking, and preparing for future opportunities.

Hi, I’m Martha Warner—an educator at heart with a deep love for people, language, and meaningful impact. After years of teaching middle school through university, I found my skills particularly useful in grant writing while leading a nonprofit in my hometown. I was so good at it, that I built my business around it.
I learned a lot of lessons as I built my business, but years later, I'm still guiding nonprofits leaders and now entrepreneurs who want to start their own business.
These courses are designed with intention, care, and real-world insight to help you grow your skills with confidence. I’m excited to guide you through practical tools, memorable strategies, and hands-on tasks.
I'm ready. Are you?
