Real Proof The Grant Writers Collective Works

Anna Nelson headshot

I have had WIN after WIN since joining the Collective, and I have to share the unbelievable momentum I’ve experienced. Maybe my story will resonate or inspire someone else like so many of your stories have inspired me.

I’m an introvert and have had failed businesses in the past because of my inhibitions and desire to move through the world in a quieter way than most entrepreneurs. The biggest impacts of this Collective so far have come in the form of confidence and community. I still struggle with the feeling that I need to KNOW EVERYTHING before taking action, but even just knowing there’s a resource at my fingertips in case I need help or encouragement has been life-changing.

What Isn't Working?

Are you an experienced grant writer feeling stuck in your current role? Do you dream of having more flexibility, higher income, and the freedom to choose your clients?

If you desire a more autonomous, flexible life while leveraging your grant writing expertise, freelancing might be the perfect next step for you.

Is What You Want So Unreasonable?

We know you don't want to risk everything. You want to build your freelance business on the side first. Test the waters. Find your first clients. Then decide when (or if) to make the leap.

Can We Tell You Something?

The hesitation you're feeling about freelancing is completely normal! Many experienced grant writers feel the same way. But staying comfortable means missing out on the freedom and income potential that freelancing offers.

You already have the grant writing skills. What you need is a proven system to find clients, package your services, and build your business strategically. That's exactly what we provide.

The Collective gave me the confidence and strategies to transition from in-house to freelance without the fear of failure. The support is unmatched!
