Write Kickass Proposals that Win Grants
Overview
So why did I build this Course?
Because I couldn’t find one that was 100% actionable or shared steps I could put into play immediately. Grant Writing Essentials combines my learning, consultancy experience and the resources I collected into a linear path.
It works for content writers everywhere, but especially writers in India. THat’s because the Course covers funder types and nonprofit causes that are unique to us.
A big plus is that it comes from a practitioner. I am showing you the quickest way to get started and then race ahead.
How is this course different?
There’s an abundance of e-learning content available for writers. And even more for grant writers. I’ve spent months finding and studying them all.
I’ve read through several books, articles and newsletters too.
Most of the trainers and the writers are all based in the Global North, in the developed world.
Their sensibilities, ideas, lessons somehow do not address fundraising and grant writing with the challenges and realities in the Global South, especially, India.
I wanted to give content writers here a viable option to use their writing skills.
I used to be one myself. The competition is crazy. The pressure to deliver content for peanuts is a killer.
This course is a way to cut that bit out. Be a part of the community, not the competition.

I’ve designed it for writers who want to explore a new audience to write for. It will help them bring the change they want their words to make.

And you’ll find that what you learn there is applicable in the for-profit sector as well. Everyone needs proposals written!
Where’s the proof?
My grant proposal writing work for several nonprofits since 2018 has helped me raise over Rs 67 lakhs in funding. The course has a writing framework and proven techniques that helped me cross this milestone. I continue to work on grant writing opportunities today. I will never stop being a practitioner. This means that the course will be updated with everything new I learn.
