Welcome To Grants For Creators™!
As creators, we’ve all had many ideas.
Some ideas keep us up at night.
These ideas live rent-free in our minds (and hearts).
But what if you’re unable to self-fund them right now? Now what?
I know what it feels like to pause meaningful work due to a lack of funding. I had projects I believed in, stories I wanted to tell, and work I was ready to produce that stalled because I could no longer self-fund it.
Your idea(s) deserve meaningful support. They deserve funding.
They deserve to be brought to life.
Grants For Creators™ is a grant-discovery and education platform that helps 22,000+ creators find and secure non-dilutive funding, such as grants, paid fellowships, and pitch competitions for their creative projects and small businesses. To date, we’ve helped creators secure over $177,000 in grant funding.
Our mission is to ensure lack of funding is no longer the reason creative work goes unfinished.

About Our Founder
Hi there, I’m Danielle Desir Corbett.
I’m a former Grants Manager turned 6x grant-funded podcaster, author, and writer.
In a past life, I helped researchers search for and apply for grant opportunities to fund their research projects.
Note: I was not a grant writer — instead, think of me as a project manager.
I kept my Principal Investigators on track, meeting all their deadlines and ensuring they had all the pieces required for submissions. When the grants were funded, I assisted with reporting and financial management.
Throughout my tenure, I submitted multi-million-dollar grant proposals for 7 years, until 2021, when I quit my corporate career to pursue creative entrepreneurship.
By 2021, I received four grants for my creative work.
My eyes were now open to the possibility. Winning grants taught me that creators and small business owners can fund their ideas, too.
After regularly finding so many grant opportunities (and having nowhere to share them), I created Grants For Creators™ to:
1) Encourage creators to see themselves as worthy of winning grants to fund their business growth.
2) Help creators find relevant grants and funding opportunities faster.
3) Share helpful grant writing tips to secure funding.
Applying to grants and other paid opportunities has changed the trajectory of my business (and life), and I want the same for you.
So leave the research to me. Not only am I really good at it, but it’s also a lot of fun!
