The Real Problem
You're Not Losing Because
of Bad Writing
"I have worked on grants that scored 90 out of 100 on review panels — and still did not get funded. That is when I stopped blaming the writing."
Most organizations lose grants not because of bad writing — but because they are not yet fundable. Fundability is about whether your organization can clearly answer the questions funders are asking before they even open your application.

Your Takeaways
You Will Leave With
A Reviewer-Ready RFP Checklist
Know exactly what to look for before you write a single word. Stop submitting to funders who were never going to say yes.

Problem statements, program narratives, budget justifications, and funder alignment reviews — all faster and stronger with AI done right.
A Funder Relationship Strategy
The one email to send before every submission. What to do after a rejection. How to turn a single grant into a long-term funder relationship.
Your Fundability Self-Audit
Identify your biggest gap — wrong funding stream, weak positioning, no outcome data — and know exactly what to fix first.
A Written Problem Statement Draft
You will write it live during the session. Imperfect and real — with direct feedback. That is the skill. You take it home and finish it.
A Complete Reference Workbook
Every template, prompt, formula, and checklist from the session — in one workbook you can come back to every time you sit down to write.

Meet Jackie King-Pruitt
Jackie King-Pruitt
Funder Relationship Architect

in the playbook
Jackie King-Pruitt is the Founder and CEO of FaithWorks Collaborative LLC — a faith-based funding strategy consultancy operating nationwide. She holds the unique position of Funder Relationship Architect: someone who doesn't just write grants, but builds the organizational foundation that makes grants possible.
Her core philosophy — "partnerships before applications, foundation before funding" — emerged from a hard-won discovery: organizations don't lose grants primarily because of bad writing. They lose because they aren't yet fundable. That insight drives everything FaithWorks teaches.
Jackie helped one organization secure more than $4 million in collaborative funding over 18 months — not by writing better applications, but by building the relationships, positioning, and partner infrastructure that made funders say yes.
She also serves as Chief of Staff at Tabernacle Church and Executive Director of Kingdom Community Center CDC — giving her a practitioner's understanding of what it actually takes to fund a faith-based mission.
The Schedule
What to Expect on May 30
10:00 AM — Hour 1
Why You're Losing & How Funders Actually Decide
We open with the belief reset — and immediately go into the live six-reasons audit. You will identify your biggest gap in the first hour. No warmup. No fluff.
11:00 AM — Hour 2
How to Read an RFP & Find the Right Funders
New content not in the original workshop. We put a real RFP on screen and practice reading it like a reviewer. You also get a live walkthrough of how to read a foundation's 990 in 10 minutes.
12:05 PM — Hour 3
Writing the Proposal
Anatomy of a competitive proposal — all five components with weak vs. strong examples. Then you write your own problem statement live, with direct feedback from Jackie. Not a drill. Real work.
1:00 PM — Hour 4
AI, Funder Relationships & What Happens After You Win
Five AI prompts. The relationship email. What to do after rejection. And the grant management basics that protect your renewals — the part most grant writing training completely skips.
2:00 PM — Q&A
Live Questions & Next Steps
25 minutes of open Q&A with Jackie. Then your five action commitments — specific, signed, and due in 7 days.

Common Questions
Before You Register
Will I get the recording if I can't attend live?
Yes. Everyone who registers gets recording access after the session. The workbook is yours regardless of whether you attend live. That said — the live participation is where the real value is. The problem statement exercise and Q&A can't be replicated from a recording.
Is this for beginners or experienced grant writers?
Both. If you're new to grant writing, this gives you the complete foundation in one session. If you've been writing grants for years, the funder research, AI prompts, and relationship strategy sections will fill gaps that most training programs never touch.
What if my organization doesn't have a 501(c)(3) yet?
You'll still benefit from Hours 1, 2, and 4 — and you'll learn exactly what compliance requirements funders look for so you can build toward eligibility the right way. Several capital streams don't require a 501(c)(3) at all.
Will this work for churches specifically?
Yes — this workshop was designed with faith-based organizations at the center. Jackie understands the specific challenges churches face with government grants, eligibility restrictions, and funder relationships. Much of the content addresses faith-based contexts directly.
Do I need to know how to use AI already?
Not at all. The AI section is built for people who have never used AI tools for grant writing. You'll get five prompts you can copy and use in ChatGPT, Claude, or any major AI tool — tonight, before the session is even over.
What happens after the workshop?
Jackie will share information about FaithWorks' next-step programs — including the Funding Room intensive ($497) and the Pathway Incubator ($3,500). These are not required. They are the deeper work for organizations ready to go further. The workshop stands completely on its own.
