Like many of us, Holly Rustick, fell into grant writing, actually she “flew” into it. 🛩️

Teaching in Kuwait and then earning a Master’s Degree in International Political Economy in Belgium, Holly first took a job in Indonesia to work on community development when a tsunami devastated the area. Her work was rewarding and successful and landed her in a virtual grant writing agency outside of DC.

Holly saw the light of setting up a virtual-based business đź’» in grant writing back in the mid-2000s.

Holly has since built a thriving consulting business, Grant Writing & Funding, where she coaches others to enhance their grant writing and business skills.

Beyond the business, Holly is a published fiction author finding worldly roots in Guam as an industry expert and a busy momma.

Holly has been a huge mentor and inspiration for Meredith, an affirmation from the beginning that yes, it’s possible to build, to dream big, and teach grant writing online. 🦄

Tune in for the juicy details of Holly’s journey, how her business celebrates their wins, and the upcoming Nonprofit Consulting Conference, a live event centered around the theme of knowing when to grow your nonprofit consulting business.
