Grant Writing & Funding
Holly Rustick
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!

BONUS: Get Your Nonprofit to Pay for the Academy
The Doors are Now Open to the Grant Professional Mentorship for the Final time in 2025. Be sure to join the 12-Month Group Mastermind to Double Your Monthly Revenue as a Grant Writer with Streamlined Systems, a Part-Time Lean Team, and a Scaling Offer - Without Burning Out. Go to www.grantwritingandfunding.com/mentorship. Doors Close Sunday, August 17th at 11:59 pm EST. Limited Seats Available.I get that you might be on a restricted income right now, working inside a toxic nonprofit.
A popular way that students in the Academy pay for it is to have their nonprofit pay for it.
What?! Why?! How?!
Because many of you have been asked to write grants inside a nonprofit as part of your job description or as a volunteer, but never got training.

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 :)

The Doors are Now Open to the Grant Professional Mentorship for the Final time in 2025.

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.
