Hi Future Grant Winner,
I’m thrilled to officially welcome you to Grant Prep Academy (GPA)! 
You’ve just made a powerful investment in your business and your future by joining a community of Black women entrepreneurs committed to finding, applying for, and winning small business grants.
What to Expect Inside Grant Prep Academy
Live Biweekly Zoom Sessions
We meet every first and last Tuesday from 7:00 – 8:00 PM EST to review grant opportunities, share application strategies, and answer your questions live. These interactive sessions are designed to give you real-time guidance and help you build confidence in your grant applications.
Exclusive Grant Resources
As a GPA member, you’ll get access to curated grant lists, winning application tips, and insider secrets to strengthen your submissions. You’ll also learn the do’s and don’ts of grant writing for Black women-owned, for-profit small businesses.
Hands-On Support
Whether you need feedback on your grant application, help refining your business pitch, or clarity on grant terms, you’ll have access to direct support during our live sessions.
Community and Accountability
You’re not doing this alone. GPA is a space to connect with like-minded Black women entrepreneurs who are also serious about securing grant funding. Together, we’ll celebrate wins, share lessons learned, and keep each other motivated.
Here’s What You Need to Do Next:
- Mark Your Calendar:
- Our first session will be on Tuesday, April 1, 2025 at 7:00 PM EST.
- Add a recurring calendar reminder for every first and last Tuesday of each month for the rest of the year, so you never miss a session.
- Prepare for Our First Session:
- Bring any current grant applications, business details, or questions you’re working on.
- Be ready to take notes and ask specific questions related to your grant goals.
- Join Our Community with the Right Mindset:
- Winning grants takes consistency, strategy, and persistence.
- Show up with a learner’s mindset, and I promise you’ll leave with powerful insights you can immediately apply.
My Commitment to You
As your grant coach and mentor, I’m here to guide you every step of the way. My goal is to help you master the grant game so you can access the funding your business deserves (even if it’s just me and you on these calls, lol).
Let’s make your grant goals a reality – starting now!
See you soon,
Dr. AJ Austin
