Coaching Process

Mastering Grant Writing Essentials (2-3 months)

  • Getting to Know You: I begin with getting to know you, your non-profit, and your goals, and answer questions about the coaching program.

  • Defining Your Learning Goals: We discuss your desired learning outcomes, preferred learning styles, and review key grant writing topics covered in the program.

  • Creating a Personalized Curriculum: Based on our conversation, we’ll craft a personalized plan that includes 5-8 skill-building curriculum topics, personal goals, and clearly defined responsibilities for both coach and client.

  • Training Approach: Coaching is delivered through one-on-one online sessions, with time for practice, discussion, and assigned "take-home" activities.

Goal: Clients will gain a solid understanding of the grant development process, improve their grant writing skills, and become more confident and effective grant writers.

Advanced Practice & Skill Building

  • Hands-On Support: As you take the lead in grant writing, we’ll review your drafts together. I’ll offer detailed feedback and guidance to improve clarity, persuasiveness, and alignment with funder requirements.

  • Follow-Up & Next Steps: After submission, we’ll debrief, identify areas for improvement, and refine your approach based on funder feedback, if available.

  • Ongoing Mentorship & Support: Grant writing is a continuous process. Even after our sessions, I’ll be here to offer guidance and answer questions as you further develop your skills and secure funding for your nonprofit.
