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 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/academyRegister for the Free Webinar, “How to Create a Profitable Grant Writing Business with Little to No Experience” on Tuesday, Oct. 15th at 4 pm EST. https://grantwritingandfunding.com/academy-webinar
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.
