Welcome to the #1 Grant Writing Podcast in the World

Welcome to the #1 Ranked Podcast on Grant Writing in the World! We've been around since 2017, with world-renowned grant writing expert and bestselling author Holly Rustick, CEO of Grant Writing & Funding leading the charge. 

Holly coaches new and experienced grant writers to quit their toxic nonprofit jobs and replace their full-time income while writing grants part-time from home through her signature programs: 
By 2030, Holly and students in her signature programs are leading the Movement to:
  • Secure $1 Billion in Grants for Good AND 
  • $30 Million of Revenue Made in their Freelance Grant Writing Businesses.
So far, they are well over a 1/4 of the way there!  

Holly has 20+ years of grant writing and nonprofit experience, an MA in International Political Economy, is past-president of the Guam Women’s Chamber of Commerce, served as one out of 5 members under the Governor of Guam on the Business Recovery Task Force during the pandemic, and is an unapologetic feminist. She lives on the island of Guam with her beautiful daughter, Isabella.
