Stop wasting time chasing grants that were never the right fit.
Find out which funding streams fit your program, what funders may actually pay for, what you need before you apply, and who you may need to partner with — before you spend another week searching and guessing.
You may not have a grant problem. You may have a funding-direction problem.
A church running a food pantry should not search for money the same way as a recovery home. A workforce program should not pursue the same opportunities as a youth mentoring organization. And a new nonprofit should not chase the same funding as an established agency with years of financial history.
Built for organizations doing real work in the community.
These kits are not generic eBooks. They are practical funding roadmaps for the kinds of organizations you already serve: churches, nonprofits, youth programs, food programs, housing initiatives, recovery organizations, schools, and health-focused programs.

What happens when you stop treating every funding problem like a writing problem.
FaithWorks has helped mission-driven leaders identify stronger funding paths, close eligibility gaps through partnerships, and turn scattered grant activity into a strategy.
$7M+ secured in the past 2 years
Funding secured through FaithWorks strategy and grant development across mission-driven organizations.
A healthcare professional who had never won a grant
Instead of treating her lack of nonprofit status as the end of the road, the strategy connected the opportunity with nonprofit partners and positioned the right lead applicant — resulting in six-figure funding.
A church expanded beyond “church grants”
By structuring community programs around the work funders support, FaithWorks helped open the door to government and community-development funding rather than relying on one narrow funding lane.
Sometimes the answer is not “you don’t qualify.”
The better question may be: what eligibility, capacity, evidence, or partnership gap must be solved before this opportunity becomes viable?
The next deadline is the wrong time to discover what you are missing.
Every month spent randomly searching is another month you may overlook funding streams your program actually fits. And when the right opportunity appears, you do not want to discover that the budget, data, partnership, program structure, or documents should have been built months ago.
Frequently asked questions
Are these actual grants?
No. These are funding strategy products designed to help you understand where funding may come from, what may fit your organization, and how to prepare to pursue it.
Will the kits include places to look for funding?
Yes. Depending on the kit, you will receive funding-source categories, search terminology, potential funding channels, and practical guidance for finding relevant opportunities.
I am brand new. Which kit should I buy first?
Start with the New Nonprofit Funding Starter Kit. If you already know the program you are building, add the corresponding Program Funding Blueprint.
I run a church. Which kit should I buy?
Start with the Church Funding Starter Kit, then choose the Program Funding Blueprint that matches the community work your church actually provides.
What if my organization runs several programs?
Start with the program you most want funded over the next 6–12 months. You can add other blueprints later as your funding strategy grows.
Will buying a kit guarantee that I receive a grant?

A nearly dormant nonprofit used collaboration and relationship strategies to secure about $100K in grants and $300K in relational funding.
$100K+ in one grant
A nurse with no previous grant wins was strengthened through nonprofit partnerships rather than simply being told she was not ready.
