She coaches changemakers to master grant writing and start to grow 6-figure+ grant writing businesses on part-time hours via her signature group program, “Freelance Grant Writer Academy."

Having secured more than $45 million of dollars for nonprofit organizations, and then setting up a multi 6-figure freelance business, Holly has a mission to help female grant writers break out of toxic nonprofit J-O-B-S and create high-level income while freelance grant writing.
Inside the Freelance Grant Writer Academy, students have secured more than $225+ million in grant funding and $4+ million in revenue in their grant writing businesses within two years.
To amplify this work, she is past-president of the Guam Women’s Chamber of Commerce and was appointed to the Guam Business Advisory Task Force as an advisor to the first female governor of Guam. Holly lives on the island of Guam with her beautiful daughter, Isabella.

Getting grant writing clients without winning any grants can feel akin to being a college graduate.
You may have some skills, but don’t have any real-world experience.
Let’s talk about how you can easily bridge the gap with some real-world examples of folks from the Freelance Grant Writer Academy, who were exactly where you are.
We have many folks that come in with no grant writing experience and 1) get confident in writing grants, and 2) secure clients within the year!
That is one of the reasons that we have the grant writing master course and offer grant reviews :)

Ep. 365: Everything You Need to Know about Grant Writing Certification

If you are wondering if you need a grant writing certification to pursue grant writing and get clients, you don’t need one.
But some people are still interested in getting a grant writing certification due to external or internal reasons.
Let’s examine these:
External Considerations for a Grant Writing Certification
A nonprofit might ask you if you have a certification during a Discovery Call.
When a nonprofit prospect asks you this question, really they are asking how experienced you are.
So if you do have a grant writing certification or certification, then say, “YES!”
However, if you don’t have one, then instead let them know that there is not an industry requirement for grant writers to have a certification.

Ep. 362: Ethical Grant Writing Sales Series #5: Ask Questions Before Booking Sales Calls

It is ethical to vet your nonprofit leads.
Inside the Freelance Grant Writer Academy, we have an entire module and list of questions to ask nonprofit leads before they can even book a Discovery Sales Call with you.
Why?
You might feel like you’d rather talk to anyone rather than have a vetting problem, but believe me, you will get to this problem pretty quickly in your grant writing business.
As soon as people find out you offer grant writing questions, the flood gates open and people want to ‘pick your brain.’
We don’t think that ‘picking the brain’ should be free, unless they are also serious about getting your grant writing services.

We discussed how to price your grant writing services in the last episode, but now we are going to something more nuanced in ethical sales.
It’s ethical to NOT give discounts on your grant writing services.
Here’s the thing. Because you are choosing to do Value-Based Pricing, you are confident in your pricing.
So why would you give a discount if you already figured out your fair price?
Inside the Freelance Grant Writer Academy, we have an entire module and scripts on how to reply to Pesky questions like, “Can you give us a discount”.
This helps you to start pausing and adapting language that feels neutral and has boundaries.
Check out the bonus episode “It's Ethical to Not Give Discounts” Listen to Series #4.

Pricing.
I get the most questions about this when it comes to folks selling their grant writing services.
“What should I price my grant writing services for?”
The word that needs to change to ease the nervous system is to change ‘what’ to ‘how’.
I can’t tell you, “Oh yeah, charge $150 per hour” because we don’t promote hourly for one thing, but there are a variety of other factors that come into play.
To figure out how to price your grant writing services, we do recommend Value-Based Pricing.
This type of pricing utilizes the following elements:
✨Time
✨Expenses
✨Similar professional costs
✨Features/Benefits of Services
✨Experience/Education
✨Types of Grants
✨Your Confidence
Inside the Freelance Grant Writer Academy, we have an entire Framework on Value-Based Pricing because we understand the importance behind learning how to price services.
Let’s face it. Product-based pricing is SO much easier.
Service-based industries are more ambiguous.
But when you have a formula for figuring out your pricing, guess what happens? You get confident in your prices!
Check out the bonus episode “It's Ethical to Price Your Services with Value-Based Pricing” to figure out how to price your grant writing services. Listen to Series #3

When selling your grant writing services, you need to understand:
✨‘who’ you are working with,
✨what their expectations are, what the reality is,
✨and how long you need to get a result.
Even if you are new to grant writing, this is something that you can create based on any type of experience (volunteer, education, work, etc.) you have, and what types of grants and/or nonprofits you want to work with.
We do this inside the Change Statement Framework inside the Freelance Grant Writer Academy.
And in this bonus podcast episode, Holly breaks this down in detail on how you can figure this out very ethically.
