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.
