Holy Sh*t, I Got Funded!

You screamed. You danced. You cried.

And then it hit you, “Holy sh*t… I got funded. Now what?”

This workshop is for the newly funded and first-time grant recipients who are thrilled to find out their grant has been funded and terrified of messing it up. If you’re staring at a grant agreement like it’s written in another language, unsure what to do next, or overwhelmed by grant reports deadlines that pop up and leave you scrambling at the last minute, you’re in the right place.

Holy Sh*t, I Got Funded will help you translate your big win into a sustainable, clear, and confident project plan.

Your guide is Melody Hernandez, award-winning grant writer and founder of Root Reach Rise Inc., who has helped nonprofits and artists secure nearly $40 million in grant funding — much of it first-time support for small and mid-sized organizations. Melody brings decades of real-world experience and will share what actually works to get funding flowing where it’s needed most.

Who Should Attend

This workshop is ideal for nonprofit staff, program managers, artists, emerging grant writers and consultants, and anyone interested in grant work — whether you’re brand new or looking to refresh your skills.
