The Confident Grant Writer
MORE GRANT FUNDING.
GREATER IMPACT.
LESS STRESS.
A space where you can learn to write better grants, secure more funding, and build a sustainable grant writing system (with a bit of fun!).
You know grants are essential to your nonprofit’s success, but let’s be honest—
No matter how much research you do, it still feels like you’re guessing.
Writing them takes more time than you expect, and you still aren’t sure if you’re doing them right.
You need more funding, and you don’t know where to look for new grants.
You spend too much time staring at a blank page, wondering what to say and how to say it..
It feels like you’re figuring it out as you go, and you don’t have access to real training or guidance.
Every rejection feels personal, and you don’t know what you’re doing wrong.
You’re constantly second-guessing if your grant is strong enough to stand out.
It feels like you’re doing this alone, without the support or feedback you need
Funders seem to speak their own language, and you’re struggling to translate what they actually want.
You’re not alone
Chances are, you just haven’t been given the tools or resources you need to write grants more effectively ( and a lot easier!)
With the right guidance, you can stop overthinking, write stronger proposals, and turn grant writing into an organized, strategic (and way less stressful) part of your nonprofit’s funding plan.
Without a strong grant writing system, your nonprofit risks…
Wasting time on grant applications that don’t get funded
Missing out on critical funding opportunities that could move your mission forward
Overloading your team with a frustrating or inefficient process
Facing gaps in funding that could disrupt your services or even lead to staff layoffs
I don’t want that for you.
Over the years, I’ve helped nonprofit leaders go from feeling overwhelmed to having a clear, repeatable process that actually works.
Nonprofits I’ve worked with have:
Built grant writing systems that make the process easier and more efficient
Secured millions of dollars in grant funding
Gained confidence in their ability to win sustainable funding.
Spent less time writing grants and more time focusing on their mission.
And the best part? They’re no longer stressing over every proposal—they’re actually enjoying the process.

“Having Ann as a consultant has not only enabled me to focus on my priorities but has also opened doors to opportunities I wouldn’t have discovered on my own. She successfully wrote and secured a $40,000 grant, helping us meet budget goals and continue serving the youth in our community.”

CEO, Boys & Girls Clubs of Barron County -

Grant writing can be simple, effective, and (dare I say) even a little less stressful.
Imagine…
Grant writing felt clear and doable instead of overwhelming—no more staring at a blank page wondering where to start..
You had a step-by-step process that took the guesswork out of what to say and how to say it..
You stopped wasting time on grants that go nowhere and knew exactly which ones to focus on.
This isn’t wishful thinking—it’s completely possible.
And I can help you get there.
You felt confident hitting ‘submit’ because you knew your proposal was strong, clear, and fundable.
Hi, I’m Ann!
For over 25 years, I’ve helped nonprofit leaders secure millions in grant funding, create a repeatable process, and finally feel confident hitting submit—without the stress and second-guessing.
I teach nonprofit professionals how to write grants that actually get funded—without wasting hours staring at a blank page or wondering what funders really want.
Because when you have a clear, proven approach, grant writing stops feeling overwhelming and starts feeling doable (and yes, even a little exciting when those “Congratulations!” emails roll in).
The best part?
You don’t need a degree in grant writing… years of experience… or a secret connection to funders to start writing proposals that stand out.
That’s exactly what you’ll learn inside The Confident Grant Writer—where I’ll show you how to simplify the process, write stronger proposals, and finally get the funding your nonprofit needs.
