A Black Women in Grants Community

FOR FUTURE GRANT WINNERS
You don’t need another place full of noise.
You need proximity to women who are actually winning.
This is where you come to watch, learn, apply, and celebrate — in real time.
We host the community inside the BAND app.
$9.95 per month
52 founding members are already inside.
You’re joining women who are actively applying, winning, and sharing the process while it happens.
What Happens Inside
You see proof.
You learn patterns.
You move faster because you stop guessing.
Real grant winner interviews
You’ll hear directly from women like:
- Deanna Joy — $140,000+ won
Nonprofit grant writer with a for-profit business winning funding for herself and her clients - Victoria Featherstone — Pitch competition winner
Won $1,000 in 3 minutes for her podcast - Tay — $55,000+ won
Most recent win: $20,000 Intuit Mailchimp QuickBooks Small Business Hero award
You won’t just hear success stories.
You’ll hear what they did before the win.


Active grant opportunities
We post:
- Grant names

- Opportunities your business may qualify for
You open the app and have somewhere to start immediately.
Ongoing support environment
This is a celebration space for:
- Past winners
- Current applicants

You post wins.
You watch others win.
You normalize receiving checks.
Monthly Lunch & Learn with Dr. Austin
Once per month we meet live.
You listen.
You learn strategy.
You ask questions with the group.
Extra learning inside
You also get:
- TikTok Live replay access
- Bonus trainings
- Mini-masterclass: the #1 secret to winning small business grants

What This Is NOT
Clarity matters.
This community does not include:
- Unlimited direct access to me
- Grant application reviews
- One-on-one coaching
- Customized strategy for your business
- The Grant G.A.M.E. mentorship program
- Large course libraries, downloads, or workbooks
This is proximity, exposure, and direction — not private coaching.
Why It’s Called Grantee
Yes, we spill grant t-e-a.
But also:
Grantee = the name written on the check
You’re here because that’s who you’re becoming.
After You Join
