Grant Writing, Sorted.
Practical grant writing skills from one of Australia’s best grant writers
Confidence, Clarity and Winning Grant Applications
Grants are getting more competitive. There's more funding available than ever, but the competition has never been higher.
Your brilliant idea could change the world - but not if you can't get funding the get it off the ground.
That's why you need to level-up your grant writing skills.
Grant writing is a skill.
And it's hard to be good at it when you've never been taught how.
Most people get thrown in the deep end when it comes to grant writing. Your NGO, small business coach, or academic supervisor forwards you a link to a grant with the encouraging words "you'd be perfect for this!" - and leaves it with you to figure out how to apply.
Suddenly you're immersed in a space with new terminology, strict rules, and established ways of doing things that no one ever explained. Maybe you muddle your way through, unsure if you're on the right track. Or maybe you give up - perhaps the next one will make more sense?
Get support instead.
Rather than stare at a blank page, tear your hair out, or procrasti-clean your work space, you can get help to understand grant writing and build your grant writing skills.

Your grant writing tutor
Hi, I’m Martina, and I’ll be your guide to the world of grant writing.
I’ve been immersed in grant world since 2012, and I’ve been a freelance grant writer since 2016. In that time, I’ve gone from helping my mum apply for grants for the small rural disability non-profit she led, to winning 6-, 7- and 8-figure grants for national service transformation projects for some of Australia’s leading community non-profits and researchers.
I've won over $60 million for my clients, trained freelance and in-house grant writers, and delivered grants training to organisations like the Salvation Army and Communities at Work.
I'm known for making grant writing easy, without skipping over the complexity. And I want to help you level up your grant writing, too.
Why this course?
You don't need another run through of the basics.
You need detailed, practical advice and strategies that will help you actually write your grant application.
This course starts with the fundamentals so you know exactly why you're writing, who'll read the application, and how you can speak to them.
Then, we look at practical writing strategies to get you away from the blank page and generate a grant plan that keeps you on track.
The course is self-paced in bite-sized modules so you can dip in and out as you need to. There's also worksheets, diagrams, checklists, worked examples, and 'check your understanding' quizzes to make your you feel on top of it all.
And when you've completed the content, you get a personalised 1hr bespoke coaching call that helps you with the content you most want to focus on.

I would recommend the Grant Writing for Freelancers course to anyone looking to move into freelance grant writing. The modules were really informative and covered the entire process of grant writing. The coaching sessions with Martina are super valuable and help you take what you learn in the course and implement it into your business. If you’re thinking about grant writing this course is a great place to start.
— Joanne Corrigan
‘Grant Writing for Freelance Writers’ is an engaging and practical course that will equip you with the insight and knowledge to launch your grant writing business straight away. Martina is extremely generous in sharing her processes and checklists and even offers coaching calls to support you as you’re starting out.
— Debi McLeod
This is such an enjoyable course! Martina really shows the whole cycle of grant writing and there are tips galore, transcripts for each of the videos and really helpful worksheets to use when you’re doing the work. The course is super easy to navigate and the lessons are all bitesized so you can do as many as you want without feeling overwhelmed. I’m so pleased to have completed (yes, a course you will complete and not leave in a dusty folder somewhere on your computer!) it and added a whole new, rewarding skillset to my writing services. Martina’s experience and expertise really shines through and I feel fortunate to have been taught by her both through the course and via private coaching calls.
