What's Included in the Course?

Let’s be real—grants are competitive. And if you can’t clearly explain the need you’re meeting, the work you’re doing, and the impact you’re creating, you won’t stand out.

That’s where this course begins—and why it works.

🧩 The Foundation: Your Logic Model

Before you write a single word of a grant proposal, you need a clear, compelling framework that connects everything:
✔️ The need your nonprofit addresses
✔️ The work your team is doing to meet that need
✔️ The impact you’re creating in your community

In this course, you’ll build your custom logic model—your nonprofit’s blueprint. This isn’t busywork. This is the secret weapon behind strong, fundable proposals.

Once complete, you’ll use your logic model to:

• 📝 Write more persuasive grants

• 📢 Communicate clearly with funders, board members, and staff

• 💰 Show donors and partners how their support creates tangible results

• 🌱 Strategically diversify your revenue streams

It’s the clarity you’ve been missing—and the confidence you’ve been craving.

🏗️ Then, We Build Your Grant Template

With your logic model as the foundation, you’ll walk step-by-step through building your own reusable grant template—the exact tool you'll use to apply for multiple grants without starting from scratch every time.

You’ll learn how to:

• Write a clear, funder-aligned needs statement

• Lay out your program and organizational goals

• Articulate your outcomes and evaluation methods

• Share your budget and sustainability plan with confidence

• Craft responses that actually answer what funders are asking

By the end of the course, you’ll walk away with a complete grant template that you can:

• 🧠 Use to apply for new funding opportunities

• 🤝 Share with your team or volunteers to get help with writing

• 📈 Reuse and refine for future grant applications

🤖 Smart Support with AI

You’ll also learn how to ethically and effectively use AI to save time, reduce overwhelm, and stay focused on strategy.
We’ll show you how to use AI to:

• Spark strong first drafts

• Organize your stories and data

• Create compelling content that aligns with your logic model

• Build and maintain a grant prospecting and tracking calendar

• Stay inspired and on track—without burnout

This isn’t just “write better.” It’s write smarter.

🧠 You’ll Walk Away With:

✔️ A completed logic model to use for grants, board meetings, donors & more
✔️ A full grant template ready to plug into applications
✔️ Tools to find, track, and manage grant opportunities
✔️ AI tools that support (not replace) your writing
✔️ Confidence in your message, your mission, and your funding strategy

Testimonial:

“I thought I had a pretty solid foundation in grant writing, but knew I wanted more experience with it. When I started learning from Emily, it was clear how much I still had to learn. She opened my eyes to a whole new way of approaching grant writing—one that is intentional and connected to the values of the foundations we reach out to. Her guidance taught me to look beyond just explaining WHAT we do, and instead, to connect WHY our work matters to each individual foundation’s unique mission."

One of the biggest lessons I learned from Emily was how to be intentional with my words. She showed me that grant writing isn’t about “selling” an organization in broad terms, but about thoughtfully tailoring our message to each potential partner. She helped me move from writing in a straightforward style to crafting compelling narratives that highlight not just the impact of our programs, but the deeper reasons why they align with each funder’s specific goals.

Testimonial:

“I am so thrilled to be working with Emily. I have been working at writing grants for 3 years with some success but many more rejections. Emily reviewed one of my grants and had about 6 suggestions for improvement with just a quick glance. I am so excited to see how she can transform our grant process with a professional approach. Her ability to focus on the big picture and break it down into bite size pieces makes a daunting task much more manageable.”

Who am I & why should you trust me?

I know you're bombarded with ads and emails for grant writing workshops and classes, but since you're here, let me introduce myself.

Hi, I'm Emily Kerr! I founded Charleston Hope at 18 and became its full-time Executive Director in 2016. I started writing grants for our organization in 2017, and I’ll never forget the excitement of receiving that first grant award. Since then, I've raised $4M in funding for my organization and others.

After taking many courses myself, I realized quick workshops don’t cut it—grant writing is an art, and it takes time to master. That’s why I created this comprehensive resource to help you learn everything you need to know about writing successful grants.

Your nonprofit matters, and the work you do deserves to be funded. I’m here to help you communicate your impact to funders, and I’m honored to be part of your journey!
