How to Raise 6 Figures in Grant Funding

How to get the grant

Access to the exact framework I used to unlock 6 figures in grant funding

🏆 Nearly £1 million raised in funding

This isn’t a stack of generic templates. It’s the exact master-answer framework I used to win six figures in grant funding for my own small, values-led business, tested across real applications and built around real assessor feedback. All with no background in fundraising, and no budget for an expensive consultant.

  • Cut your application time in half, without sacrificing quality
  • Trade blank-page panic for confidence: you’ll never start from scratch again
  • Tailor your master answers to any funder in minutes, not hours

The real problem

Most grants feel overwhelming, time-consuming, and out of reach, especially without a fundraising background.

🌱 You then

Trust me, I’ve been there. Maybe you’ve gone from juggling a day job (or two) to running the business full-time, and the to-do list never ends. You save the grants when you spot them. Finding the time to actually sit down and apply is another story.

You rewrite the same answers from scratch every time, because there’s no system to fall back on. Just a blank page and a deadline. And it’s harder when you’re up against organisations with the budget to hire a professional grant writer, while you haven’t written anything like this since uni.

✨ You now

Your master answers are ready before the form even loads. No blank page, no starting from zero, no guessing what assessors actually want to see.

Just a clear, repeatable process, pulled from real six-figure applications, that you tailor and go.

Starting from zero

You rewrite the same answers

Every new form drags you back to a blank page, burning hours you don’t have.

The clock is ticking

Deadlines slip while you overthink

Applications pile up and good opportunities close before you even start.

Which story to tell

Different funders want different versions

What a corporate funder wants to hear isn’t what a government fund wants, and guessing which angle to lead with costs you the application.

Real founders, real wins

They followed the same thinking. Then this landed in their inbox.

These are founders I’ve helped apply for grants using the exact frameworks inside the toolkit.

Founder message: I got the grant
Founder message: 5k from UnLtd, such a relief
Founder messages: win after win
Reel shoutout thanking the grant writing newsletter
A workbook, not a video course

This is a course. It just isn’t a video you watch once and forget.

The workkit deep-dives into exactly what makes a grant application win, section by section, the same way a course would. The difference is the format. Instead of hours of video that sit half-watched in a tab, this is something you actually work through. You read it, you fill it in, and you come out the other side with real, ready answers, not a to-do list of lessons you never got round to finishing.

No unanswered modules. No “I’ll come back to that.” Just the work, done.

What’s your time actually worth?

£115 to save yourself hours and hours of guesswork.

We can’t guarantee you’ll win the grant. What we can do is give you the best possible shot, instead of “saving money”, spending ten hours on an application, and falling at the first glance because no one ever told you how to format a budget. The most expensive application is the one you rewrite from scratch and still lose.


What you’ll learn

The thinking that turns a good idea into a funded one

How to prioritise the funder who actually fits

Every funder gets excited by something different. Some back your innovation, some back your impact, some back you. Learn to read the room and lead with the true version of your business that fits.

How to see your application through an assessor’s eyes

Real rules pulled from feedback across dozens of scored applications, wins and losses both. The small things that quietly cost points, and the things assessors are actually trained to look for.

How to pre-write the answers every grant asks for

Most applications ask variations of the same core questions. Build your master answers once, then tailor, not rewrite, every time a new grant opens.

How to build a budget and plan that survives scrutiny

Justify every line item so it holds up under questioning, and structure your project the way funders are trained to expect it.

How to tailor your grant application

The exact process for taking what you’ve already written and shaping it to a specific form, in their language, in a fraction of the time.

Approach your grant applications with clarity and confidence, without it taking over your entire life.

Who this is for

This tool is for UK-based, for-profit founders.

If you’re one of these founders
01

Time-strapped founders

You’re running the business, doing the sales, answering the DMs, and somehow also meant to write a grant application from scratch at 11pm, the night before it’s due. You don’t have a grant writer or a spare afternoon. This gives you the thinking done in advance, so applying becomes a tailoring job, not a blank-page panic.

02

New(ish) to grants

Maybe you’ve applied once and got a confusing “no.” Maybe you’ve never applied at all because you don’t know what actually makes an application win. Either way, you’re guessing instead of following a system, and guessing is expensive when an application takes ten hours to write.

03

Not new to business

This isn’t a “validate your idea” toolkit. You’re already running something real: selling, building a community, delivering a service. You’ve got the traction, you just haven’t worked out how to translate it into what a funder wants to hear.

And building one of these businesses
01

Serving a specific community

You’re building for a group that’s often overlooked or underserved. Funders back social impact when it’s evidenced, not just claimed, and this shows you exactly how to make that case.

02

Innovators solving real problems

Your business is doing something genuinely new, whether that’s a product, a method, or a way of reaching people that doesn’t exist yet. Innovation funders love bold ideas, as long as you can explain them clearly, not just call them “innovative.”

03

For-profit with a mission

You’re not a charity, and profit isn’t a dirty word, but it’s not your only goal either. Whether that’s sustainable products, ethical services, or something that puts your values into what you sell, this shows you how to secure funding without softening what you actually stand for.

This tool is not the right fit if you’re…
🙈

A pure idea with zero validation

If you have no proof yet that anyone wants what you’re building, no waitlist, no sales, no pilot, no community, funders will spot that instantly, and the money would likely go to waste. Get some traction first, even small counts.

🙉

A charity seeking institutional funding

This is written for for-profit founders, not charities chasing large trust or institutional fundraising strategy. If that’s you, plenty of the thinking will still help, but it wasn’t built for your process.

🙊

Needing the money in the next few weeks

Grant timelines run from weeks to months, sometimes with payment released per deliverable rather than upfront. This is a tool for planned funding, not emergency cash.

I’m not just someone selling a toolkit. I’m someone who’s been in your shoes. As a Black female founder, I’m part of the most underfunded demographic in business, yet with zero experience in fundraising, I learned the language of funders and raised over £100,000 for my community-focused business, Babes on Waves.

I’ve raised grants from private companies, government funding bodies and social-impact charities, so my experience is wide-ranging, and there’s a different way to communicate depending on who’s funding you. I’ve poured all of it into this toolkit.

Some of my most notable wins range from £15,000 from UnLtd to £50,000 from Innovate UK. Alongside my own experience, I brought in a grant assessor and two founders who’ve raised real money of their own, so every framework in here is stress-tested from multiple angles, not just mine.

Natasha Kallay
Grant assessor & writer · 10+ years

Has assessed and written for Innovate UK, USAID, FCDO and the Gates Foundation, so you learn what scores well from someone who marks the papers.

Cassie Quinn
Textile artist · £200k+ raised

Has raised over £200,000 in grants for her creative practice.

Questions

Before you buy

Do I need to have a business already?

You don’t need to be incorporated, but this isn’t a “validate your idea” toolkit. It’s built for founders already running something real, with some traction to point to. If that’s you, it works whether you’re newly trading or well established.

Is this UK-only?

Yes. It’s intentionally focused on the UK funding landscape, including the UK Funder Map. That focus is what makes the guidance specific and usable rather than vague and generic.

I’ve never applied for a grant before. Is this for me?

If you have some traction, yes. It’s written for founders without a fundraising background, so it starts from what assessors actually want and walks you through building your answers, rather than assuming you already know the ropes.

Why is it a workbook and not a video course?

Because you finish workbooks. It goes as deep as a course would, but in a format you work through and complete, so you come out with ready answers, not a stack of half-watched lessons.

How is it delivered?

It’s an instant digital download. After checkout you’ll get the workbook and the answer bank template straight away, with the early-bird walkthrough recordings sent to your inbox when they’re ready.

Write your answers once. Win more of the funding you deserve.
