I cannot begin to tell you how much I love this book. I've got post-it notes through, to remind me of all the actions I want to take, and as reminders for when I'm preparing my grant applications.

Why this Book?
"Advanced Grant Writing for Female Founders" is a comprehensive guide tailored specifically for women entrepreneurs like you. It combines actionable strategies, real-world examples, and insider tips to empower you on your funding journey.
Why now?
Despite a growing awareness of available funding opportunities, women entrepreneurs still represent a minority in accessing external capital. Now, more than ever, it's crucial for aspiring applicants to hone their grant writing skills and become worthy contenders for the billions in funding waiting to be allocated!
Why Lisa?
Meet Lisa Erhart, Author, Grants Assessor, Applicant and Entrepreneur. She's walked in your shoes and knows how it feels to bootstrap a business. But here's what she's done differently... she tapped into the rich world of non-repayable grants and secured $4.2 million in funding, starting with a small $3,000 government grant.
As a mentor and then an Assessor for various grant programs, Lisa has assessed over $50 million in applications seeking funding, and yet, submissions from women remain in the minority. The silver lining in this story is the immense potential waiting to be unlocked. Despite the current underrepresentation and challenges women face in securing funding, it highlights a massive opportunity for positive change.
Still not sure this book is for you ...

As someone who's horrified at how little funding is given to Female Founders, I found Lisa’s insights about understanding the assessor's perspective valuable. Lisa cares, and writes with a genuine wish to help entrepreneurs succeed.
