Build Your 7 Figure Funding Engine in 4 Hours
About this Event

Stop outsourcing your organization's survival.
Build the system that funds your mission.

In one focused, hands-on session, you will develop the grant narrative, structure, and pipeline development strategy that can unlock millions in potential funding opportunities, without hiring a grant writer.

This is a 4-hour hands-on build session. Bring your laptop. Come ready to work.

If you hired a grant strategist to:

• Develop your master narrative: $3,500+
• Align your programs to funder priorities: $5,000+
• Build a reusable grant template: $4,500+
• Identify aligned funding prospects: $7,500+
• Map a 12-month grant pipeline: $12,000+
• Review and edit your proposal drafts: $6,000+
• Coach you through submission strategy: $10,000+

Total strategic value: $48,500+

I'm giving you the core framework for $197.


WHO THIS IS FOR

• Nonprofit leaders who are tired of relying solely on outsourced help
• Founders who want to ramp up their predictable revenue
• Grant writers who want to improve capacity
• Nonprofit team members wanting to increase their value to their organization

If you want to DIY your fundraising the right way, this lab is for you.

By the end of the session, you will have:

• A completed master grant narrative
• A customizable proposal framework
• A funder alignment checklist
• A 90-day grant submission plan
• Access to reusable templates
• Optional post-workshop submission review opportunity

You will not just leave with notes and feel good vibes. You'll leave with tangible assets & collateral to drive your missions forward.

If you plan to apply for funding in 2026, you cannot afford to wait until deadlines are posted to start building.

This is where serious leaders prepare.

Early Access: $197
Standard Admission: $297

Seats are intentionally limited to ensure hands-on support.
