Funding Your Mission Starts Here.
6 Weeks to Grant Confidence, Clarity, and Consistent Funding
You started your nonprofit to make a difference — not to spend late nights Googling how to write a grant proposal. But here you are: trying to grow your impact while juggling programs, fundraising, and everything in between.
You know your organization has potential.
You just need a clear, guided plan to finally get funded.
That’s where the Catalyst Grant Writing Accelerator comes in.
✨ “The step-by-step framework and group accountability were exactly what I needed to prioritize my time and actually get it done. The process was easy to follow and implement, and it gave me a clear, organized way to gather our data and define our needs for proposals. Laying out a plan also helped me focus my energy on the opportunities with the greatest potential return. We have had a 718% increase in our grants income in 2025—more than 7× growth from 2024."
- Lindsay, Winter 2025 Cohort

The 6-Week Grant Accelerator
This Accelerator isn’t a course you’ll watch once and forget.
It’s six weeks of hands-on coaching, feedback, and accountability designed to help you actually secure funding — not just learn about it.
Here’s what your investment gives you:
✅ 6 Weeks of Live Coaching + Access to Me
Every week, you’ll join live calls where I walk you through your grant strategy, answer your questions, and review your real work. You get direct access to me, a grant strategist who’s helped raise over $1.7 million in funding for nonprofits just like yours.
✅ Personalized Feedback on Your Grant Template
You’ll get line-by-line feedback on your actual proposals, logic model, and budget — so you leave knowing your materials are funder-ready, not “maybe ready.”
✅ Lifetime Access to All Course Materials + Templates
Every checklist, template, and guide stays with you forever — including my full Grant Template, Logic Model Builder, Sustainability Plan, and Funder Alignment System.
✅ Accountability + Community
You’ll move through the process alongside other nonprofit leaders who get it — sharing wins, strategies, and encouragement along the way.
✅ Confidence & Clarity You Can’t Google
You’re not just learning how to write grants — you’re building a system and mindset that will serve your nonprofit for years to come.
💡 Here’s the truth:
Hiring a grant writer can cost $3,000–$7,000 for a few grants a month.
This Accelerator gives you the skills, tools, and feedback to write dozens of grants confidently on your own — for a fraction of the price.

This Is For You If…
You’re a nonprofit leader who:
-
Feels overwhelmed by where to start with grants
-
Can’t afford to hire a full-time grant writer (yet)
-
Has been running programs but needs funding to expand
-
Wants 2026 to be the year your nonprofit finally gets funded
If that’s you, you’re in the right place.
💬 What My Students Are Saying
✨ “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 ($50,000!) to help people living with dementia get outside for a walk and some 1-1 socialization! Thanks for the guidance on grant writing!”
✨ “Emily's Funding Your Mission: The Nonprofit’s Guide to Grant Writing Success course is a must-have resource for any nonprofit looking to excel in grant applications. This comprehensive guide is packed with valuable ideas, examples, and actionable insights that simplify the often daunting process of grant writing. One of the standout features is the inclusion of practical templates that allow users to practice and refine their skills effectively. Whether you're just starting or looking to improve your grant writing strategy, this course provides the tools and confidence needed to succeed. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking to enhance their nonprofit's funding efforts!”
✨ Working with Emily didn’t just make me a better grant writer, it helped me grow in confidence and find my own voice in this field! I now feel confident in my ability as a grant writer and believe I have the experience to do so. Her guidance was invaluable, and I couldn’t have asked for a better teacher. I wouldn’t be where I am now in my knowledge of grant writing without her, and I will carry these lessons forward in every grant I write!”

💡 Still on the Fence?
If you’ve been thinking things like:
“We’re too small for grants.”
“I don’t even know where to start.”
“It’s not in the budget right now.”
You’re not alone — and that’s exactly why I created this Accelerator.
This program was built for nonprofit leaders who are in the trenches — juggling programs, people, and paperwork, trying to do it all while still finding time to grow.
You don’t need a full-time grant writer or a bigger team.
You need a system that helps you:
💡 Clarify your need, your work, and your impact
💰 Build confidence in your funding strategy
🧭 Create structure so you can scale sustainably
Because the truth is, you can’t grow without clarity — and you can’t sustain growth without funding.
This Accelerator gives you both.
You’ll walk away with the tools, templates, and confidence to secure funding and scale your mission — without burning out in the process.
And remember — there are just 4 spots left at 50% off for this round.
The best time to start building funding systems for 2026 is right now.

Hi, I’m Emily 👋
Over a decade ago, I started my first nonprofit with nothing but a vision and a lot of questions. Since then, I’ve:
-
Founded and grown Charleston Hope, a nonprofit serving thousands of students with mental health and social-emotional support.
-
Helped launch three other thriving nonprofits in the U.S.
-
Secured over $2.5 million in grant funding for nonprofits just like yours.
But here’s the thing—I didn’t figure it out overnight. I wasted hours Googling, writing bad drafts, and learning through trial and error. I know firsthand how overwhelming grant writing feels in the beginning.
That’s why I created Catalyst Nonprofit Coaching and my course, Funding Your Mission: The Nonprofit’s Guide to Grant Writing Success.

Enroll Now!
You don’t need another year of wondering where to start with grants — you need a roadmap and real support to get it done.
This Accelerator gives you both.
Together, we’ll build your grant template, messaging, and systems so you walk into 2026 ready to secure the funding your mission deserves.
