    Grant Writing & Funding

    This show is for grant writers who are working in nonprofits or already have a few freelance clients but haven’t replaced their nonprofit income yet, and don’t have a clear system to get there.

    You already know how to write grants. Now you need to build the business.

    Each week, you’ll learn how to find and close better-fit clients, price and package your services, create predictable revenue, use AI strategically, and build a freelance grant writing business that gives you more income, flexibility, and freedom.

    Hosted by grant writing expert and bestselling author Holly Rustick, CEO of Grant Writing & Funding and Founder of the Freelance Grant Writer Academy, the show draws on Holly’s 20+ years in grant writing and the nonprofit sector and 14+ years building her own business.

    You’ll learn how to:
    Price and package your services to easily land clients
    Find grant writing nonprofit clients that pay you
    Build consistent monthly revenue
    Market yourself as a grant professional and business owner
    Use AI and modern systems for your grant writing and business without becoming replaceable
    Create systems that allow you to work fewer hours as you grow
    Holly’s students have collectively generated more than $12.5 million in their own freelance grant writing businesses and secured more than $300 million in grants for their clients.

    In-kind resources are one of the most overlooked—but incredibly valuable—assets your nonprofit can leverage.

    These are the goods, services, and people who help offset the costs of running your organization. In other words, they are budget-relieving resources that can significantly expand your capacity without increasing your expenses.

    But here’s the key: their value shouldn’t just be appreciated—it should be documented and strategically used.

    In this episode, we break down what in-kind resources really are, how to identify them within your organization, and why they play such an important role in both relationship-building and grant applications.

    You’ll learn how recognizing and tracking these contributions can strengthen your funding proposals, demonstrate community support, and position your nonprofit as more sustainable and impactful.

    If you’re looking to better leverage what you already have—and elevate your grant writing skills in the process—this episode is for you.

    No matter how well you plan your fundraising event, things can still go wrong. A sudden storm, a keynote speaker canceling last minute, or even a power outage—these unexpected disruptions can quickly derail your event if you’re not prepared. That’s why having a contingency plan isn’t optional—it’s essential.

    In this episode, we dive into how to proactively plan for the unexpected so your event can still succeed, no matter what happens.

    We talk about how to think through potential risks, identify weak points in your event planning, and create a solid “Plan B” (and even Plan C) so you’re never caught off guard. Because the goal isn’t perfection—it’s preparedness.

    If you want to host smoother, more resilient fundraising events that can adapt to real-world challenges, this episode will give you the mindset and strategies to make it happen.
