Who We Are

We Don’t Just Write Grants — We Build Funding Capacity

Most nonprofits struggle with the same three things:

1. They have powerful missions but weak grant strategies.
2. They chase every opportunity instead of building a clear funding roadmap.
3. They rely on freelance writers instead of strategic partners.

That’s where Grant Writing Academy comes in.

We are a global grant strategy and nonprofit consulting firm led by Queen Israel, an independent consultant and nonprofit consultant with deep experience helping organizations design fundable projects, improve grant readiness, and grow their financial sustainability.

Our clients range from small community-based organizations to mid-sized nonprofits seeking U.S. and international funding. Whether you’re applying for foundation, corporate, or institutional grants—we help you get ready, stay ready, and grow strategically.

 Our Mission

We Empower Nonprofits to Compete, Thrive, and Lead

Our mission is simple:

To help nonprofits become funder-ready, write compelling proposals, and build sustainable funding systems—no matter where they are based.

We believe that access to funding shouldn’t depend on geography or size.

Whether your organization operates in Chicago or Nairobi, what matters is your impact—and we help you communicate that impact powerfully.

Our Core Values:

• Integrity: We never promise guaranteed funding—we promise solid preparation and clarity.
• Excellence: Every proposal we touch reflects depth, data, and strong storytelling.
• Collaboration: We see ourselves as your partner, not a contractor.
• Capacity Building: Our goal is not just to write one proposal but to leave your organization stronger and smarter.

Why Work With Us

We Understand What Funders Look For

Most consultants focus on writing.

We focus on strategy.

Our process combines:

• Funder psychology: Understanding what drives decision-making.
• Evidence-based design: Using data to justify your project.
• Compelling storytelling: Making funders feel your impact.
• Clarity and structure: No jargon. Just strong logic and results.

Global Insight, Local Sensitivity

We are proudly based in Africa and serve nonprofits globally—especially U.S.-based organizations that want a fresh, global perspective without sacrificing quality.

We understand the language, standards, and expectations of U.S. funders—and we deliver world-class quality at competitive value.

Our clients appreciate our professionalism, attention to detail, and deep understanding of both community realities and donor priorities.

What Makes Us Different

• We don’t promise you’ll win every grant. We prepare you to win many.
•  We don’t just write proposals. We build funding systems.
•  We don’t chase trends. We align you with your long-term vision.
