Grant Writing & Funding
Quit your toxic nonprofit job and replace your full-time income while writing grants part-time, from home! Join our students in the Freelance Grant Writer Academy to create Financial Stability and Flexibility through writing grants for causes you are passionate about: https://grantwritingandfunding.com/freelance-grant-writer-academy
World-renowned grant writing expert and Amazon bestselling author Holly Rustick provides coaching that helps new and experienced grant writers replace their full-time income while writing grants part-time from home (or anywhere they want to live or travel in the world).
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."
As an unapologetic feminist, Holly’s work in coaching female grant writers to master grant writing, find their cause-area niche, and navigate value-based pricing and nonprofit sales is breaking glass ceilings for women all over the world.
Every week, she coaches thousands of people through the top-ranking podcast, Grant Writing & Funding, books on grant writing, and inside the Freelance Grant Writer Academy.
Holly has 20 years of experience in grant writing, and began her freelance grant writing journey back in 2005. While teaching in Kuwait and Indonesia, and then earning a Master’s Degree in International Political Economy in Belgium, Holly saw the light of setting up a virtual-based business in grant writing back in the mid-2000s. 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.
If you are interested in replacing your full-time income while writing grants part-time from home (or from anywhere in the world!) join the Freelance Grant Writer Academy!

THE DOORS ARE OPEN TO THE FREELANCE GRANT WRITER ACADEMY! The Academy is for new and aspiring grant writer so you can Replace Your Full-Time Income, on Part-Time Hours, Writing Grants & Funding Assets from Home. Join before Sunday, June 22nd at 11:59 pm EST. https://grantwritingandfunding.com/academyWelcome back to another episode of Grant Writing & Funding, the podcast designed especially for all you changemakers out there, looking to grow funding and capacity for your causes and communities.
In this episode, we'll be discussing strategies that will not only help you grow your grant writing business but also free up time for yourself and stimulate creativity.
One of the key points we'll be exploring is how to take a much-needed vacation while still earning income for your business. Yes, it's possible! By implementing effective systems and processes, we can achieve that elusive work-life balance and create space for generating passive income streams, hosting webinars, developing online courses, and fostering higher-level relationships.
But before we delve deeper into that, I have an exciting announcement to make. We're opening the doors to our 12-month coaching program, the "Grant Professional Mentorship," designed for grant writers who already have their own companies and are looking to take them to the next level. The doors will remain open until Sunday, October 1st, after which they won't reopen until later in 2024. So, if you're serious about growing your grant writing business, this is your opportunity.
During the Grant Professional Mentorship, we'll guide you through a comprehensive curriculum, covering everything from training, hiring, and delegating, to business system resets, creating calendar space, and even taking that much-needed vacation. Our focus is on empowering you to attract ideal nonprofit clients, partners, and financial wealth using an abundant mindset.
And that's not all! We have an incredible workshop coming up, the "Business Reset Strategy Workshop," taking place on October 3rd. You will have access to join this workshop, when you join the Grant Professional Mentorship by October 1st. This workshop, held inside our mentorship learning portal, will address topics such as value-based pricing strategies, service offer promise training, setting policies for defining boundaries, and effective marketing strategies to boost your business.
I know many of you grant writers find yourselves working every minute, feeling overwhelmed and on the verge of burnout. It's crucial to remind yourself of your "why" and create the necessary systems and standard operating procedures to maintain balance.

THE DOORS ARE OPEN TO THE FREELANCE GRANT WRITER ACADEMY! The Academy is for new and aspiring grant writer so you can Replace Your Full-Time Income, on Part-Time Hours, Writing Grants & Funding Assets from Home. Join before Sunday, June 22nd at 11:59 pm EST. https://grantwritingandfunding.com/academyIn this episode of the "Grant Writing & Funding" podcast, host Holly Rustick is joined by guest Yvonne White-Morey, a successful grant writer. Here are the key takeaways from their conversation:
1. Yvonne shares her experience with the Grant Professional Mentorship program and how it has positively impacted her grant writing business. She emphasizes the value of the program in providing resources, templates, and a supportive community.
2. Yvonne offers valuable tips for grant writers and those interested in starting or growing a freelance grant writing business. She highlights the importance of understanding the grant writing process, developing relationships with funders, and leveraging resources like the podcast's Book Club.
3. The discussion delves into Yvonne's personal journey in grant writing, shedding light on her motivation and how she got started in this field. Listeners gain insight into her passion for helping others and her dedication to supporting nonprofits in fulfilling their missions.
4. The conversation also touches on the implications of artificial intelligence (AI) and large language models in the grant proposal process. Holly and Yvonne discuss the convenience these technologies offer but also raise concerns about overwhelming foundations with an influx of proposals and potential biases in AI-based application evaluations.
5. Yvonne provides insightful advice on handling grant rejection. She encourages listeners not to give up and emphasizes the importance of seeking feedback, building relationships with funders, and improving proposals based on constructive criticism. She highlights the potential for rejected proposals to find funding elsewhere with proper adjustments.
