In this episode of The Grant Writing Expert Podcast, we talk with Courtney Oliphant, founder and CEO of Coastal Nonprofit Consulting. Courtney draws on more than a decade of experience to show why grant success depends on more than just writing proposals.

She explains how nonprofits can assess their grant readiness, right-size their grant teams, and train grant professionals to act as translators between programs, finance, and leadership. Courtney also shares a practical grant tracker template her team uses to help organizations move from reactive grant chasing to proactive, strategy-driven fundraising.

Whether you’re an executive director, development professional, or grant writer, this conversation will give you actionable tools to build lasting grant capacity and reduce the stress around fundraising.
