The First Step To Finding Grants Is…
The first step to finding grants is creating a Grant Application Strategy (GAS) that helps you stand out from the competition as a Black woman for-profit small business owner, so that you’re not confused in where to start and you’re not wasting your time applying for small business grant opportunities that you’re not eligible (and may never win).
All you have to do is learn how grants work.
You just need to learn how to find your first grant, submit a grant, winning application, and win your first few hundred, then THOUSAND, then tens-of-thousands, potentially hundreds of thousands, or even million-dollar small business grant.
To kick off our next enrollment of my signature program, Five-Figure Fund Finders, I’m hosting a brand new, never-taught-before, live training called, ‘How to Win Grants’ (Secrets for Black Women (for-profit) Small Business Owners).
I WILL TEACH YOU:
- The #1 reason why Black women for-profit small business owners aren’t winning grants
- How I won my first $50,000-$60,000 in small business grants while running my Christian Coach Certification company full-time (and starting a new part-time business at the same time!) — Then, I added that to my over $1M in personal grant wins
- How to find grants to apply for (and WIN) — without hiring a grant writer or overwhelming yourself
- How you will win the most amount of grants this year (without wasting time)
I’ll also open the doors to my signature program, Five-Figure Fund Finders with a special bonus, “Interview with Grant Winners” series, meaning…
When you enroll in Five-Figure Fund Finders right after the webinar, you will get (5) previously recorded interviews with professionally trained Black women for-profit small business owners (who have collectively won $244,210) in small business (cash) grants and grant-funded opportunities like business training and development program scholarships and more, to help you create a small business Grant Application Strategy to help you find, apply for (and win) your first — or next — small business grant.
This is all for our brand-new price of $997 for (8) weeks. So now the Five-Figure Fund Finders, which is now $997 for (8) weeks access to the program.
I’m so excited to host this brand-new LIVE grant training and welcome you into Five-Figure Fund Finders so that you know how to find, apply for and win your first five-figure grant as a Black woman-owned small business owner.

A BLACK WOMAN FARMER
WHO WON $100,710!!!
“Dr. AJ’s guidance has been transformative for my business. I’ve always valued continuous learning, and Dr. Austin’s advice stood out for being accurate and actionable, particularly her insights on approaching grant applications from the reviewers’ perspective. I applied for financial assistance through the USDA, a process that was both intense and detailed. With Dr. Austin’s tips, I effectively structured my application, and to my amazement, I was awarded a six-figure sum—far more than I ever expected. This funding has allowed me to elevate my farming operation significantly. Beyond my own success, I also shared Dr. Austin’s strategies with fellow farmers, and several of them received substantial financial awards, including one who won $59,000. I’m incredibly grateful for Dr. Austin’s mentorship; her advice has empowered me and many others to confidently navigate the complex world of grants and financial assistance. I highly recommend her to any Black woman entrepreneur seeking funding for their small business. Dr. Austin’s insights are invaluable, and her support has been instrumental in our collective success. Thank you, Dr. Austin, for helping us achieve our dreams and for being a beacon of hope and knowledge in our community.
