Once upon a time, a grant writer unearthed a big problem: there were no options for learning to write grants in a modern, refreshing way. Existing options were “old school” and expensive.
The idea? Create an online learning experience that makes grant writing approachable and fun.
Learn Grant Writing was founded on the belief that our time should be spent adding real value to our communities and leading fulfilling lives.
You're in the right place if you want to...
🔸 explore your curiosity
🔸 change careers
🔸 freelance grant write
🔸 volunteer, or
🔸 improve an existing skill.
No sugar coating it! Grant writing is hard work. But, if it fits your personality and goals, it can be life changing. Getting professionally trained in grant writing can save you years of mistakes and lost grants, make you indispensable, and give you wonderful lifestyle flexibility.
You can become a grant writing unicorn 🦄 faster than you might realize. Learn more: www.learngrantwriting.org/

Can I please have a meeting with you? What if I’m a college dropout, but I have skills with bid solicitations and I have worked with the federal services. $500 monthly is expensive, how soon can I get a job if I pay that amount?
How do write grants
I have a BA in Lit and Creative Writing. Would you still need a degree in grant-writing?
very informational video !!! I am learning this for a course!!
Aww, I love this!! Go Vicky!! You and your babies deserve it!! 💖🌟
Right?! So deserving. We love having Vicki as a coach in the Global Grant Writers Collective. Thanks for the love. We'll be sure to pass it on.
How can we know which grant is for which person? I am a newbie excuse me for this stupid question
Not a stupid question. We all have to start somewhere. In fact, 75% of our students start out as total newbies to grant writing. Give me some context so I can help answer your question. Who are you seeking grant funding for?
Do you all have any discounts or coupons?
Hey there! Can you give me some context? What are you looking at?
Thanks alot Philip Deng for the wonderful breakdown about Ai, and big up to to the channel owner ( the lady) .Am from Uganda. I am also a founder of an Ai data Annotation BPO. It's still only 1.5 years old now. Uganda has alot of talents in the data Annotation field now, and even much cheaper labour compared to other outsourcing countries. Please Inbox for more details.
how has AI changed grant writing?
We're seeing AI as an incredible tool in the world of grant writing. Something to do the heavy lifting and let humans stay in their zone of genius. You can check out more on that in this video here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/X5p2lLepe8Wrg7A.html
Why should someone pay a grant writer upfront when the grant seeker does not know if the writer will perform and result in a grant for the grant seeker?
A fair question and a good reason to take things step-by-step with a grant consultant. Consider asking questions about their background and experience. Have a discovery call to see if it feels right. Just remember that, par the industry, there is no 100% guarantee when you're going after grants. Therefore you're aiming for the the highest likelihood of success and someone (either within your organization or as an outside consultant) to guide you through the process (from outreach to hitting submit) that knows what they're doing. You're paying for expertise to get you the best result. You're not paying for a guaranteed win because it's an unrealistic standard in the grant world. Does that make sense?
The location is beautiful!
Oh yes! Alaska has her own charm, a beauty I won't give up, even in the most challenging of scenarios like living through a gas leak explosion. 😬 I'm actually writing to you from a tent in McCarthy, Alaska right now. I love it out here.
This was very helpful.
Glad it was helpful! What are you taking away from this video to use in your own consulting work?
Would these grants cover flight school?
There are all kinds of grants out there, though grant funding for individuals (i.e. flight school) aren't as common. You'd probably want to start with financial aid / scholarships through your school first if you're looking for individual funding. Though you can search on the grants.gov site using your keywords to see what comes up as a next step.
Very helpful. Than you!
Glad it was helpful!
My apply button is inactive; how do I activate it?
You can check out this post from grants.gov for more reasons why your apply button wouldn't work. It's likely that you don't have the right role assigned or it's too early / too late to apply. grantsgovprod.wordpress.com/2023/06/08/unlock-the-mystery-of-the-gray-apply-button-four-scenarios/
Once created u can’t go back in to edit or finish up? Where do I do that at? That’s what I was looking for
Can we partner together, my dear., Like to collaborate together.
My name is Olushola Aransiola from Nigeria.Thank so much for the info. Please I need grant or fully funded scholarship for theology (MTh) at Biola University.
Hey Olushola. Thanks for reaching out, but we're not a funder, i.e. we don't provide grants. You can search the grants.gov site for education grants as a start. Best of luck.
This was a great video. I am interested in getting into the world of grant writing. This course helped me in that I feel better about taking my leap into grant writing! Thank you
Well great! How are you jumping in? Freelance? In-House?
@@LearnGrantWriting I’m just learning about grant writing and my initial thought is go freelance.
Thank You So Much. That was one of the best Grant Explanations I've seen yet.
Thank you. We'll be sure to share that with coach Haleigh! How are you leveraging your new grants.gov knowledge?
Hello from Chicago, Looking to fast track my MBA experience and work for the Northwestern University., Thank you for your videos,Great energy and vibe.!
Howdy from Alaska! We try and keep up the vibe. Are you writing grants for Northwestern University?
Wow so awesome information. God bless you, thank you!
You are so welcome!
How can I contact you to discuss getting grant.gov for my organization?
You can always hire a grant writing consultant to work with your organization. They can help you build out your grant writing strategy which may include a grants.gov workspace if that's the strategy for your organization. Are you interested in hiring?
love this!!!
This is great info Meredith!
I’m in the collective - for about a year now, I just got certified, so I stopped looking at outward content as much - but this just helped clarify some things for me!
Celine! Thank you for sharing. I'm so glad you found this helpful.
"If I was unexpectedly fired from my job".... the last THREE jobs I've had were WORTHLESS, and I was not prepared with an ace up my sleeve to carry on! That's why I'm here now!

Winning combination wouldn't you say?! Are you a grant writer?
First to comment
Hi there, How could we use ur help with journey.
Sure you can reach out to our team at [email protected] for further help.
Perfect timing for me, as I’ve blocked out 5 days next week to COMPLETE my first book!! You are an inspiration.
Ya hoo! Setting intentional time for the things we are passionate about is so crucial. I hope you had an amazing five day writing session.
please why appluy button is not working what could be the problem
Sounds like a technical error that you'd want to reach out to the grants.gov support team for.
Step 2 isn't available anymore on search grants. It's a 404 error now. So, can't move on.
Reached out to our team. The process still looks the same on our end as we go through the steps. The difference might be that your account is an individual account not one associated with an organization. Please reach out to the grants.gov support line if you're having trouble further.
Congratulations🎉🎉
Thank you, Vicki, for sharing your experiences! I'm a mom of 2 also (10 & 5), so I can relate to your journey so much!! You are such an inspiration and role model!
Thank you so much for your comment! I'm glad to hear you can relate. Being a mom is such a rewarding journey, and it's wonderful to connect with others who share similar experiences. Your kind words mean a lot!!!
🎉🎉Yes, Circle!!! 🎉🎉🎉 Meredith, you are such a strong leader. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your story. Turning pain into purpose is something I'm very familiar with. Thank you for your growth because this collective has made such a huge impact in my life!
It's amazing to hear how the Collective has made a difference in your life too. Let's continue to grow and inspire each other!
Ok ok 😅❤ love y’all thank u
Do you have any recommendations for cold email verbiage for someone who already has a grant writing business?
Hey Madison, I'd love to chat with you more on what your cold outreach strategy looks like. Can you shoot me an email at [email protected]? I may have something for you.
It wont let me hit apply it says bad request. Help! I registered with sam.gov and grant.gov and have a UEI but dont know how to fix the problem of not being able to get to the apply page -- i was told it is because i havent assigned roles yet? how do i do that?
I assigned roles and I get a 404 error as well. The whole format looks different than the screen.

I have registered with grant.gov but can not access the apply page - it says bad requests. I was told this is because i havent "assigned roles" yet. I am having trouble understanding how to use workspace and managing/assigning roles..

The file organization part has your picture in the way. What's behind your PIP?
Hey there! You can find out more about the file structure in the free grant writing class here. www.learngrantwriting.org/free-grant-writing-course/
I agree that reaching out to funders makes sense. But it only makes sense when the funders provide a way to reach out to them. Many do not. One way to find out more about a potential funder is to review the charity's Federal 990 report. It is the place to get a sense of what and who they fund, and their median funding amounts.
Yup! Sometimes it's not always so easy to connect with a funder. Great tip Donna. Also something we coach on in the Global Grant Writers Collective. Thanks for sharing.
Congratulations 🎉

1:20 -- How can the percent/ probability of a proposal being funded be determined?
Hey there! It's something we coach on in the Global Grant Writers Collective to give grant writers the best chance of success when pursuing funding.
Hi Meredith! I love your channel and all you are doing to help others succeed. I also love your idea of a tiny house encampment. As an architect, I’ve been working on how to innovate tiny houses and their application for the past decade. I’ll send you a note via your website and if you’re interested, I’d be happy to talk to you about it!
Just got your message! I (Meredith) will follow up this weekend when I spend time on this passion project!
Wow! Thank you. This video is absolutely amazing in terms of information and you can tell Meredith presents with an abundance-based mentality that is contagious. Really, thank you so much Meredith and Alex!
You betcha. Abundance all around. How are you looking to leverage value-based pricing?
Matt from Valdez here! Definitely swinging by when I go to McCarthy! Been researching today on grant writing, types of grants, fundraising, etc. as I have many ideas that I want to manifest. Currently I'm focusing on a reversing desertification plan starting at a k-12 summer camp turned school I work with in southern arizona. Been trying to figure out how to best structure my entry into the project and also how to develop it along with all its branches... running into complexity on how to manage my nonprofit and for profit ideas. My ultimate mission is to develop these nest egg communities that focus on permaculture, reversing desertification, developing skills, and also developing business opportunities. I also have some nest egg alaska ideas that are sorta similar to your Eudaimonia Machine project you brought up. Carpe Diem!
Hey Matt! Yeah for another Alaska dreamer. What do you mean by managing your nonprofit and for profit ideas?
GPA is awesome! As a member of other professional development orgs throughout my career, GPA is tops in member engagement and development.
Would love to learn more
Deal. What industry are you coming from?
