Great news! You will be able to tap into Grant Master Prue's experience and resources so you're not left wondering what to do next, where to go for data, or how to answer a question.
Here is a little about Prue, then scroll down for information about the incredible Grant Writing Academy Membership. You receive all of this in the 'Get Ready For Grants' package.
I've written successful applications for grants totaling $85.3 million in the last seven years. These have ranged from $10,000 projects to multi-million dollar infrastructure installations which transform communities and industries.
I look forward to welcoming you as a new Member and helping you to realise your grant dreams.
Hi there, I'm Prue.
I've worked all my life in remote, rural and regional Australia. I've learned lots along the way with corporate and medium businesses, and more than a decade with local and state Government.
Being entrepreneurial has driven me to do things differently, so over the years I started businesses to fill gaps and to experience being the 'pilot'. With tertiary study to mix things up, I've stockpiled industry experience: health; mining; government; print industry; tourism; the media; agriculture; and transport. (I'm sounding like a bower bird collecting treasure.)
Giving back must be in my DNA, so whether I was surrounded by water on Groote Eylandt or surrounded by dust in Kalgoorlie, I was a regular volunteer. I love to create smiles and to make things more enjoyable for the community I call home.
Working with businesses and organisations makes my engine hum. Using my creativity and collaborative spirit I helped clients achieve their goals. With insider knowledge about Government grants I knew it was time to get serious and start my next business venture.
I commenced Indigo Gold Pty Ltd and for eight years wrote grant applications for clients, and ran grant workshops for corporates. I worked relentlessly on improving my grant writing process and was very successful, so demand for my services started to exceed my capacity.
There was demand to share my knowledge about how to write a successful grant application, so the Grant Writing Academy took flight with my founding Membership in 2020. It's a constant delight to nurture my 'community' on their grant writing journey.
Giving back must be in my DNA, so whether I was surrounded by water on Groote Eylandt or surrounded by dust in Kalgoorlie, I was a regular volunteer. I love to create smiles and to make things more enjoyable for the community I call home.

"Success... 5 grants in 12 months...the Membership made all the difference."
"Since joining I have been successful with five grants ($137,480) in 12 months - it’s made all the difference! I now approach each grant uniquely. As well as watching live, I can go into the Hub and pull the resources I need and reflect on how they relate to my grant. Prue’s 'intel', plus hearing from others, demonstrates there is more than the technical side of things."

"No grant experience to a $350K grant success in 6 weeks!"
"From no grant experience to a $370,000 grant success in 6 weeks! The Membership was fundamental - I wouldn't have secured the grant without it.

From "feeling stuck" to "being up-to-date and motivated."
"Before joining I was plodding along by myself which lead to writers block and feeling stuck.

The Hub is a go-to place for resources and reference materials to help me develop and support my answers."- Sue Schluter (multi-grant success), Frenchville Sports Club

- Carol James
And there are many more!
Why did they become Members?
Because they realised that having a planned and supported grant process, regular training and the latest 'intel' about the grant industry, was going to transform their grant applications.
So instead of overwhelm, and confusion, they can soak up my passionate instruction and support in a like-minded community of grant writers EVERY single month as long as they continue to get value.
The point is, with my system you can transform the way you organise, prepare, write and submit your grants.
And now, I'd like to share my knowledge with you via the Grant Writing Academy Membership.

The Grant Writing Academy Membership can help!
As a grant writer you and I have a HUGE opportunity to create a lasting impact for your organisation and your community - and it's the reason that I am so passionate about this work. This is the reason why I created the Grant Writing Academy.
So what is included?
The Grant Writing Academy Membership is an annual program which gives you the clarity and confidence to write high quality grant applications which get in the 'yes' pile.
The Grant Success Process
Inside the Membership, you’ll progress from your current position through to a Soaring Confident Grant Writer. You’ll gain knowledge, momentum and confidence as you move through the different stages.
If you follow the process, just like Vanessa, a GWA Member (they're affectionately called GWAMers) you can enjoy incredible grant success. She recently explained the reason for the change she'd experienced, “Prue I just follow your process and I now only spend half the time I used to [working on grant applications]."

You do have options, but only one makes sense
There are other ways you can improve your grant writing. You can do a variety of courses - once-off instruction that doesn't come with Live support - which will probably not be at the level you need. Or, you can continue with the school of hard-knocks and try to figure everything out on your own (and this can cost you lots of time and energy).
You can do these things, but I am pretty sure that none of them come with a money-back promise.
So let's recap...here's what you get with the Grant Writing Academy support for 12 months and the 2-for-1 bonus.
Grant alerts, reminders, support, and your questions answered
You get all new grant opportunities posted every couple of days into the exclusive GWA Membership Facebook Group. You will be kept up to date with email reminders and Facebook posts on all the things happening in the GWA Membership. You can post your questions into the GWA Membership Facebook Group and Prue will help you out. You are never alone.
