Go from Grant Writer to Grant CEO

    You’ve already built a grant writing business that makes money but now you want to build something that hasn’t created another job for you.

    You’re ready to let your business run without you so you can step back, take time off, and trust your team to deliver.

    This program is for you.

    Join a community of grant writers
    making multi-six figures.

    Remember when you thought hitting six-figures would mean freedom….but you’re still glued to your computer screen with multiple grant deadlines, answering emails at 10 PM, and working weekends…thinking this can’t be it.

    And If We're Being Real...

    You’ve already paid for coaching in the past. So why are you still…

    • Operating as a generalist 

    • Doing the typical marketing tasks (social posting) and still no consistent leads

    • Charging hourly instead of retainers

    • Working overtime just to keep up

    • Signing clients who are not ideal

    • Spending too much time managing both clients and subcontractors

    • Not effectively communicating value to clients beyond grant writing

    • Nervous about increasing your price with your renewal conversations

    You’ve outgrown basic business advice.

    Join a community of six-figure business owners.

    These are business owners who are:

    • Shifting from project-based pricing to ongoing retainers

    • Building teams that can run without them, so they can step into true CEO leadership

    • Clarifying their niche to attract clients who pay well and align with their mission

    • Creating a signature framework that showcases their speciality skillset

    • Streamlining client delivery so they stop reinventing the wheel with every project

    • Reimagining what their time is worth and how they want to show up in their business next

    This is a space to create from intention instead of urgency.

    You didn’t build a six-figure business just to have to do All the work.

    You no longer want to be the business and you want to take a break and projects still get done.

    Imagine finally leading your business like the CEO it needs.

    Get a clear proven path forward. 

    Get real strategy and someone who can tell you exactly what to focus on, so you can execute and scale your business with confidence.

    You’re trying to position yourself for premium clients without a premium setup.

    You’re trying to land larger clients with development teams. 

    You’re ready for real retainers but you’re not quite sure what it is yet.

    You’re working on packaging and pricing and you want clarity on what your ideal offer actually looks like and you want to feel confident pitching it to clients who get it and can pay for it.

    You’ve been told to niche down… but into what?

    You know your natural sweet spots But you don’t want to scare any business away.

    You’ve outgrown entry level programs.

    You’ve picked up a few gems along the way and now you’re ready for strategy and next-level leadership.

    You’re doing this solo and you’re tired.

    You’re figuring it out, day by day and you’d love to learn with other grant writing business owners at your level of business.

    What you’re dealing with now​

    • You need hands-on coaching to refine your niche, pricing, and business structure so you can work with fewer, higher-paying clients.
     
    • You know you’re good at what you do but you feel like you’re working way too hard for the money you’re making.
     
    • You know you should be marketing more but who has the time when you’re doing everything else.
     
    • Still letting project-based clients run the show.
     

    • Still managing subcontractors and rewriting work you paid someone else to deliver.

    • Your systems are stitched together with manual processes, spreadsheets, and apps that don’t talk to each other.

    You need a strategy that actually helps you be more hands off—not just another generic course.

    MEET YOUR COACH

    Hi, I'm DeaRonda!

    Apply Now to Join the Community

    I started where you are. I was undercharging, attracting the wrong clients and my sales calls were a complete disaster! 

    Although I graduated high school and college with honors – I have an MBA from Ashford University and Bachelor of Science degree from the prestigious Tuskegee University…running a business wasn’t my forte, and sales? Well, let’s just say I couldn’t close a deal to save my life. 

    Fast forward a few years and now I have multi six figures in gross sales, I’m fully booked, I’m referring out business, and my clients don’t want me to leave!

    I’ve built my grant writing business, June First Firm, so that I get to work with my ideal clients day in and day out, without having to chase business or say yes to projects that don’t feel good to me.

    I’ve seen so many quality grant writers want to do their own consulting but don’t know where to start or how to do it well. I want to share my success with other women grant writers by teaching you my systems and frameworks to get fully booked.

    A little bit more about me:  I have worked at and consulted with numerous leading nonprofits as a grant professional and have grant awards totaling $67M+.
