Whether you're building internal capacity or preparing your first proposal — our coaching programs give your team the skills, strategy, and confidence to secure funding independently.
Done-for-you grant writing is powerful. But teaching your team to write and manage grants creates something even more valuable — internal capacity that compounds over time.
With coaching from Reach Grants, your staff learns the exact frameworks, research methods, and writing strategies that produce winning proposals — tailored specifically to your organization's voice and funding landscape.
Our founder has personally secured $145,000 in grants and brings her former federal grant experience into every coaching session. This isn't theory — it's what actually works.
Personalized, focused coaching sessions designed around your specific goals — whether you're learning grant writing from scratch or refining your existing skills.
Bring your whole team up to speed with a structured group training session — ideal for nonprofit staff, board members, or small cohorts of grant writers.
Already have a draft? Get expert eyes on your proposal before you submit. We'll score it against funder criteria and give you actionable feedback to strengthen it.
Our coaching programs are designed for a range of experience levels and organizational types.
Just starting out and need to understand grant writing basics, how to find opportunities, and how to build your first proposal from scratch.
You've won a grant or two but want to improve your win rate, expand your funding pipeline, and build more sustainable grant capacity.
Executive directors, program managers, or development staff who want to handle grant writing in-house without hiring a full-time grant writer.
Staff who need to understand federal grant processes, compliance requirements, and how to write competitive public sector applications.
Board members who want to understand grant funding, contribute to development efforts, and provide meaningful oversight of the grant process.
Individuals looking to enter the grant writing profession and build a strong foundation of skills, knowledge, and real-world practice.
Every coaching engagement is customized — but here are the core areas we cover across our programs, based on what actually moves the needle for winning grants.
Where to find grants, how to evaluate fit, and how to build a prioritized pipeline that's worth pursuing.
The anatomy of a winning proposal — needs statements, goals, objectives, logic models, and how to write for the reviewer.
How to build a grant budget that's compliant, realistic, and tells a compelling financial story to funders.
What happens after you win — compliance, reporting timelines, funder relationships, and positioning for renewal.
I had the pleasure of working with Kelli on a grant application, and I must say, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From start to finish, Kelli demonstrated a remarkable level of expertise and professionalism that truly set her apart. Working with Kelli made the grant application process smooth and efficient. She guided me through each step with clarity and precision, ensuring that all requirements were met promptly. Her ability to streamline the process made what could have been a daunting task surprisingly manageable.
All coaching engagements begin with a 30-minute Meeting of the Minds Consultation. We'll discuss your goals, experience level, and which program is the right fit before any commitment is made.
Pick a time — instant confirmation, no back-and-forth.
