Grant Writer Success Story

Meet Kathleen

Kathleen came to us because she was frustrated and unsure about why her grant proposals were not getting funded.  

During our training program, we helped her to learn how to approach funders in a compelling way, taught her advanced grant research techniques, and got her in front of the right people within her target request. 

These shifts made a tremendous difference and produced new results.

 Within 6 months of our working together, Kathleen implemented our grant system and landed a $400,000.00 grant for her agency that was very timely for their needs.

Grant Writer Success Story

Meet Michael

Michael came to us with no knowledge of how to win grants for his organization. He needed a solution to help him garner more money to support their relief efforts, both locally and abroad.

During our coaching sessions, we helped Michael to establish a solid game-plan to pursue grant funding, which was beyond the traditional method of merely writing a grant proposal. We helped him implement a comprehensive grant development system.

Michael became the Executive Director for his agency and landed a $147,900.00 grant and $500,000.00 worth of food for their initiative from the USDA.

Grant Writer Success Story

Meet Nikki

Nikki came to us with experience as a grant manager, but was unaware of what was required to apply for and win 6- and 7-figure grants.

During our seminar, we taught her how to develop compelling stories highlighting her organization's efforts.
We also taught her solid ways to converse with funders, and the best ways to properly identify the right organizations likely to fund their efforts.

Within 9 months of working together, Nikki secured $2.5 Million for her agency using our system. Before the end of her first year this amount increased to more than $4 Million.

He uses phrases so innovative that I have remembered them years after I attended my first class with him. I have taken two classes with Rodney.

The methods in his class took my success to the next level and allowed me to lead grants for a capital campaign. Five years later, I sought Rodney out for additional training. I knew grants, but I didn't know marketing. Rodney's class taught me the winning mindset and the importance of image and marketing. Thank you!
