How many grants have you bookmarked this year… but never actually applied for?
I hear this all the time:
“I found a grant I want to apply for…but now what?”
If that’s you, I see you.
Finding a grant is the first step. The harder part is actually sitting down, figuring out what to say, and getting the application submitted.
And unfortunately, most of us weren’t taught how to pursue grants.
There’s no “How to Apply for Grants 101” class in creator school.
Most of us learn through trial and error, which means spending way too much time wondering:
Am I answering this question correctly?
What are they actually looking for?
Does this even sound good?
That uncertainty is exactly what keeps good opportunities sitting in our bookmarks folder. But here’s what I want you to know: feeling stuck doesn’t mean you aren’t capable of applying (and winning) grants. It just means you need guidance, an actionable plan, and feedback to move forward.
That’s exactly why I created the Hit Submit 5-Day Challenge — a step-by-step experience designed to help you stop overthinking and start applying, even if you’re brand new to grants or you don’t know the right ones worth pursuing.
Here’s how it works:
Day 1 (8/31): Get clear on what you want to fund + LIVE kickoff call
Day 2 (9/1): Find a grant that fits
Day 3 (9/2): Write a strong bio + project summary + LIVE Office Hours
Day 4 (9/3): Nail your impact story
Day 5 (9/4): Final review + submit
✅ Actionable tasks → Instead of staring at a blank page or putting too much on your plate, you’ll take on one focused step per day.
✅ Live support → Join me for the kickoff call + office hours to ask questions and get unstuck fast. (Replays available).
✅ Community → Surround yourself with creatives + small business owners who are taking action right alongside you.
I've helped thousands of creatives and business owners find funding opportunities and strengthen their grant applications. I’ve also personally secured six grants.
While I can’t promise you’ll win a grant.
I can help you get out of research mode and into action.
By the end of the challenge, you'll have a completed grant application, or you'll be significantly closer to submitting one, and you'll have a repeatable process you can use for every future opportunity.
We start on Monday, August 31st.
