Does grant writing feel like an unsolvable puzzle?
Or perhaps it's so overwhelming and complex that starting seems impossible.
With a never-ending to-do list, it's easy to sideline grant writing—especially when it feels like throwing spaghetti at the wall, hoping something sticks.
It seems like other nonprofits are securing grant funding, leaving you wondering if your organization measures up. (Spoiler: it does!)
You might already have a successful annual giving campaign, fundraisers, or individual donors that others envy. Yet, there's a missing piece in your funding strategy: grants!
At Greater Good Funds, we understand these challenges and are here to demystify the grant writing process. The Grant Writing Lab is a robust program designed to equip you with the knowledge and tools needed to confidently pursue grants, turning that elusive puzzle into a clear and achievable plan.
Don't let uncertainty hold you back from accessing this vital revenue stream. Join us, and let's unlock your organization's potential together.
I'll coach you through the grant writing process.

Don't take it from me. Here's what past participants are saying:
The workshop was incredibly helpful. I feel much more confident in my approach and I'm optimistic about future success. Your practical tips and breakdown of the process have already made a significant difference.
Highly recommend!
Great attachments and resources.
I feel a lot less nervous about grant writing now and more prepared after taking the course.
I am glad to know that I have this as a resource to fall back on when I need it!
What I learned from the course was how to think about grants-if that makes sense. For example, I thought if I said I got support from too many places a grant provider would think I did not need their support. On the contrary, I learned from your course that shows support and sustainability. I learned many things like that.
