Hit Submit Challenge: Last Call For 2026
If you consistently find grants you want to apply for but struggle to actually get applications out the door, this 5 day challenge is for YOU.
I’ll guide you through the process, answer your questions, and personally review your drafts so you can keep moving forward instead of getting stuck second-guessing yourself.
You don’t need to rearrange your entire life. You just need to give yourself five focused days to finally apply and get that practice.
We kick off Monday, October 26th for the last round of the year.
