Who is this for? 

Train Your Own Grant Writer is for animal-related nonprofits looking for a cost-effective way to pursue tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in grant funding. This course is perfect for you if any of these statements are true: 

• Want to build grant capacity in-house instead of relying solely on outside grant writers.
• Have a staff member, volunteer, board member, or founder ready to take ownership of grant writing.
• Are newer to grant writing or have some experience but lack structure, confidence, or consistency.
• Are tired of feeling overwhelmed by grants and want a clear, repeatable system.
• Need grant guidance that reflects the realities of animal-related work (rescue, sheltering, sanctuaries, advocacy, spay/neuter, TNR, wildlife, etc.).
• Prefer practical tools, templates, and examples over theory-heavy fundraising courses.
• Want flexibility through self-paced lessons with support when questions come up.

This course is especially helpful for small- to mid-sized animal nonprofits ready to invest time and intention in building a sustainable grant program.

Who This Isn't For

Train Your Own Grant Writer is for individuals at one nonprofit interested in learning the entire grant process and using it to earn funds for their organization.

If you are a freelance grant writer, consultant, or an individual helping multiple organizations find and earn grants and need a license to use the tools and templates across multiple organizations, check out our Animal Grant Writer Academy: Grant Writing Essentials course.
