NICE TO MEET YOU
I'm Emily!
I know what it feels like to start a nonprofit with big dreams but no budget for a $3,000-a-month grant writer. Over the past decade, I’ve grown my own organization, Charleston Hope, into a staff of 10+, and I learned grant writing the hard way—late nights, lots of trial and error, and no easy roadmap. Now, after securing over $2.5 million in funding, I teach other nonprofit leaders the clear, practical path I wish I had when I started.
“Sharing a win: We received a $10,000 grant this week from a foundation that we did not have a relationship with! While there have been plenty of no’s rolling in this month, this feels like a milestone because the first gift can be the hardest.”

“Thanks to my wonderful grant writing mentor, Emily Kerr, we were selected to receive a 2-year grant from the SC Office on Aging to help people living with dementia get outside for a walk and some 1-1 socialization! Thanks for the guidance on grant writing!”Â

“I am so thrilled to be working with Emily. I have been 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.”
