Let’s cut straight to it. Running a nonprofit without funding feels like staring at an empty bank account while your dreams slowly slip away.
Do any of these sound painfully familiar?
Denied Grant Applications. You’ve lost count of the "unfortunately we can’t fund your request" emails.
Sleepless Nights. Anxiety about payroll, expenses, and whether your nonprofit can even survive another quarter.
Frustrating Dead-Ends.Feeling completely lost about how successful nonprofits always seem to have plenty of funding, while you're stuck living check-to-check.
Imagine if you could confidently walk into any funding meeting, knowing exactly what bankers, grantors, and donors want to hear. Imagine if securing grants felt as simple and predictable as withdrawing money from an ATM.
Good news! That’s exactly why I created the Fund Your Nonprofit Challenge.
Hosted by Blake Nathan "the Nonprofit Guy". This is your chance to learn exactly how to secure funding consistently. Over three focused days, you'll gain the essential knowledge to structure, organize, and, most importantly, fund your nonprofit right from the start.
Over 3 transformational days, we’re going to stop “hoping for help” and start building real financial momentum.
Whether you're starting from scratch or already filed your 501(c)(3), this challenge will walk you through EVERYTHING you need to lead like a founder AND think like a funding banker.
Before you ever apply for a grant, funders need to see that your house is in order. On Day 1, we’re laying the groundwork so your nonprofit looks like a safe investment.
Learn How To:
Set up the right documents and infrastructure to look credible and fundable
Develop your flagship program that funders and donors want to support
Ensure your structure (board, mission, finances) is aligned with nonprofit best practices
Understand how grants can rapidly scale your impact—and why most people get this part wrong
Think you need a professional grant writer to win funding? Think again. Day 2 shows you how to write compelling proposals using AI—without the overwhelm.
Learn How To:
Use AI tools as your personal grant writing assistant
Write strong, persuasive proposals—even if you’re not a “writer”
Plug into prompts, tools, and templates to save time and get more wins
Finding grants isn’t the hard part—finding the right ones and knowing how to stand out is. Day 3 is all about grant strategy, visibility, and winning positioning.
Learn How To:
Identify grants that actually fit your mission and capacity
Understand what funders really want to see in your application
Stand out from the crowd—even if you're a new or smaller organization
You’re an aspiring nonprofit founder sitting on a powerful mission but your big idea feels stuck because you have no idea how to secure startup funding or handle financial paperwork.
You’ve already launched your nonprofit, but constantly feel like your bank account is running dry. You need consistent funding, and you're tired of begging for donations or chasing after grants.
You’ve applied for grant after grant,
many times but the paperwork is overwhelming and the rejections
keep coming. It feels like cracking a safe without knowing the combination.
When I launched my first nonprofit, I had no idea what I was doing. No mentor. No guide. Just a lot of trial and error, and let me tell you, I made every mistake in the book.
I made mistakes, big ones. I stepped on every landmine you can think of, rejected filings, wasted money, failed grant applications. There were days I wanted to wave the white flag and walk away.
But I didn’t. I fought through it, figured it out, and came out stronger. Now, I’m here to be the guide I wish I’d had back then.
In this 3-day challenge, I’ll give you the tools, strategies, and confidence to lead your nonprofit. You bring the mission;
I’ll help you EXECUTE it.
Let's GO!
No. This challenge is perfect for aspiring founders who haven’t registered yet. Day 1 is all about helping you understand the correct legal structure, forms, and filings—so you can avoid common (and costly) mistakes. You’ll know exactly what to do to set your nonprofit up the right way.
100%. Most nonprofits are set up—but not structured for funding. This challenge shows you how to reposition and realign your nonprofit so that it looks fundable to donors, partners, and grantors. You’ll leave with a tighter strategy, stronger systems, and a funding plan that actually works.
If you’re a VIP, you’ll get access to all the replays so you can watch, rewatch, and implement at your own pace. General Admission is live only and does not include replay access, so if you know you’ll miss any of the sessions, upgrading to VIP is your best move.
That’s exactly why you need this challenge. You’ll learn how to position your nonprofit so that asking for support doesn’t feel like begging—it feels like offering a powerful opportunity to your donors and funders. We don’t do guilt-based fundraising here. We do strategy.
Most webinars give you 1 hour of vague ideas and a pitch at the end. This challenge gives you 3 days of hands-on, structured guidance, with step-by-step assignments and real support. You’re not watching—you’re building. Plus, you’ll have access to tools and templates most people charge thousands for.
There’s a live chat and support group throughout the challenge, and if you’re a VIP, you get direct access to Blake during exclusive coaching sessions each day. No question goes unanswered.
