Each year, nonprofit grant writing consultants are earning a six figure income, working less than a full-time employee and helping to contribute millions of dollars to charitable causes.

Want to know how we do it?

 

 


 

 

The perks of a consultant are many. How do these sound to you?

  • A schedule that's convenient for a family – Do you desire to be a stay-at-home mom (or dad!) and tend to your family's needs?

  • The opportunity to be your own boss – Do you feel unappreciated at your full-time job or just know that you could run the show better yourself?

  • Freedom! Not have to ask for time off for appointments or special occasions - I used to dread having to call in sick or ask for time off for the dentist. You can also schedule your work around important family events. Never miss them again.

  • Saving money on expenses such as child care, office lunches, work clothes, commute time, etc. - Do you often feel you're working just to pay for child care? You wouldn't believe the amount of money I've saved over the years by working from home.

  • The ability to schedule vacation time whenever convenient – My husband and I used to have the hardest time coordinating our earned vacation time. Now I just go along whenever he's available.

  • Earning extra income for luxuries such as vacations, spa days, new outfits – Okay, ladies. This one needs no explanation.

  • Not having to host parties or sell anything for that matter to earn money - I know. I didn't want to either. It seemed like that was my only option at the time for making money from home.

  • Working only with people you want to work with – You'll create such an abundance of clients that you too will have the luxury of only working with people you actually enjoy.

  • Working for causes you believe in – What is the “do good” angle of this business? Working with nonprofits! The beauty of working with nonprofits is that while you're working and making money you're also contributing to and making a difference in your community.

  • The opportunity to grow as big as you wish by working virtually – A little know-how in online marketing is all it takes to grow your consulting career (and your wallet!) as big as you desire.

Many of you know my story. I so wanted to be able to stay at home to raise my son (now 4!) but I needed to make money as well. My husband was a little skeptical that I actually could both stay at home AND make money but he's a supportive guy and we agreed to let me give it a go. I will be forever grateful for that decision!

I'm now happy to share my secrets with you through my GRANTcoach program – a hands-on, step-by-step system you've been looking for to turn you from a grant writing novice into a successful, independent consultant.

If you're worried about making money as a grant writing consultant, don't be––because I can tell you that I'm NEVER without grant writing jobs! With millions of nonprofits needing money, and only a fraction of grant writers, we are in much greater demand than supply.

Nonprofits are always looking for money to support their programs but they're often overworked and under-staffed and think they don't have the time to write grants – that's where the services of a grant writing consultant come in handy.

While most nonprofits want the financial security that grants can bring to their organization, they simply want it off their plate. Why don't you fill that need for them? Did you know that on average, grant writing consultants make between $75,000 and $100,00 per year? While it's up to each individual, today's technology to work across the country means the possibilities are limitless.

I'm often asked about getting started in grant writing and becoming a stay-at-home consultant and I WANT to be able to share my step-by-step plan with you. Yes, there are products out there (including my own) that teach you how to write grants and become a grant writing consultant – but I haven't found a comprehensive instructional program that jumpstarts you as quickly as this one into a new career.

That’s why I’ve developed GRANTcoach where a combination of instructional guidance is offered to help you learn how to write winning grants fast––so that you can realize your dream and work from home as a grant writing consultant! It’s like having me hold your hand, guiding you step-by-step into becoming a grant writing consulting winner!

 I certainly didn’t raise more than ten million dollars in grant funding overnight––it’s a process. And at one time I too had no idea what it took to make a living as a grant writing consultant. You may be asking yourself:

  • Where do I even begin to learn how to write a grant?

  • What are the first steps I need to take in starting a new career?

  • How do I find those perfect matches that WANT to give me grant money?

  • What should be included in a grant proposal?

  • How do I need to advise nonprofits that contract with me to write grants?

  • What do I need to do to give my grant applications the winning edge?

  • How do I win over non-supportive family/friends that are trying to talk me out of working for myself like I've always wanted?

Also, these very important questions:

  • What kind of salary does a grant writer make?

  • How do I get clients when I have no grant writing experience?

  • What should I charge as a beginning consultant?

  • How can I guarantee consistent income?

I will answer these questions and more – just sign up today for my  GRANTcoach program!

Join me as I personally take you by the hand and turn you into a winning grant writing consultant with confidence and the skillset to get ahead.

Finally, don't just take my word for how satisfying this career is––read what others who have successfully made the jump into grant writing consulting have to say:

Grant writing has become a large part of my consulting business, which I operate from my home. I am a Mompreneur and need the flexibility with my family's schedule. Most independent grant writers I have connected with do work out of their homes. Crista Walsh, Minneapolis-St. Paul

I own and operate a national virtual consulting firm (primarily focused on grant research, grant writing, and grant management) and serve clients in all 50 states. I started the business in 2004 (after working 20 years for nonprofits and doing a lot of grant writing) and have never regretted doing so. In order though to be successful, you/your company needs to ensure quality service and products (this is done by having high standards and holding your workers to those standards) and have a demonstrated track record/history of success in your grant writing and client satisfaction. Laura Coleman, Boston



The GRANTcoach Experience

"A great value for the money, well worth the investment
and a MUST DO if you're thinking about a career as a grant consultant."

I recently completed the GRANTcoach program and I highly endorse this program.

I knew that this program would be a great choice for learning all that one needed to know about grant writing as it was sanctioned by The Nonprofit Center at LaSalle University. LaSalle University’s Nonprofit Center is the vanguard of the nonprofit sector in the Greater Philadelphia region. This was enough to get my attention...

As the program progressed - I was not disappointed! Betsy knows her stuff and this was evident from the start. The material was comprehensive, structured, in great form, and professionally presented. BRAVO BETSY!!!

A great value for the money, well worth the investment, and a MUST DO if you are thinking about learning how to write grants. It is well suited for beginners like myself, (who now feels like a pro) and/or for folks needing to bring their grant writing skills up to a higher level of excellence.

As a professional, professor, entrepreneur, and a soon to be PhD candidate, I know an excellent product/service when I see it and I was more than pleased with the program; as well as Betsy’s expert knowledge of the industry, and her prodigious undertaking in the preparation and presentation of the program's materials.

"I haven't come across another program that shares the insider secrets
that Betsy so graciously provides. The cost of the program is small
when compared to the wealth of knowledge you receive."

TracyDS-60pxGRANTcoach provided the knowledge I needed to jump-start my consulting company. Betsy’s warm and friendly approach removes the anxiety one feels when preparing grant proposals and her step-by-step program is filled with excellent tips that can take your grant writing to the next level. Grant writing is a highly technical process but Betsy takes each topic and separates it into small segments, making grant writing feel like a snap. Topics such as creating a project budget and developing goals and objectives will feel more manageable with Betsy’s unique style of making complex topics understandable. Finally, Betsy will share her knowledge and resources to assist you in becoming a grant writing consultant. I have not come across another program that shares the insider secrets that Betsy so graciously provides. The cost of the program is small when compared to the wealth of knowledge you receive. I recommend GrantCoach to anyone looking to succeed as a Grant Writer or a Grant Writing Consultant.

"Betsy has gone above and beyond the call of duty
to make this class a worthwhile and positive experience.
I highly recommend the GRANTcoach course!"

I signed up for the GRANTcoach course to sharpen my skills in an area I'm passionate about- helping to fund non-profit organizations. For me, it's all about connecting folks who are engaged in meaningful ministry with generous donors who also want to do good work in the world. Betsy Baker cheerfully shares her expertise with class members in the class sessions, written materials, and phone conversations. Betsy has gone above and beyond the call of duty to make this class a worthwhile and positive experience. I highly recommend the GRANTcoach course!
