Coaching and Training
Are you ready to sharpen your federal grant skills? We offer one-on-one coaching options and customized training packages. These services are available to grant writers and fundraising teams, as well as grant consulting businesses looking to level up their federal grant writing knowledge and capacity.
Training sessions are available for…
Nonprofit teams
Consulting groups
Regional collaboratives
We offer single-session and annual packages of coaching calls, as well as four primary virtual training services to elevate your team’s grant development process (see details below). The pricing provided is for groups of up to 15 attendees. If you are interested in training larger groups or in-person training options, please reach out for pricing.
Breakthrough Calls
These calls are great for Executive Directors, Directors of Development, and Grant Writers. However, these calls are most beneficial for organizations that have existed for at least a year and have some history of grant-seeking.
Breakthrough Call (45 Minutes)
Book a virtual call to receive assistance from Fielding Jezreel to solve a challenge that is keeping you from moving forward in grants with confidence. Get clear on your grant goals or a specific grant-related challenge, refine your grant research strategy, or come up with a plan to address a tricky situation you need to share with a funder.
You’ll leave the call with one or more immediate actions you can take confidently.
A Year of Breakthrough Calls
We will create a regularly scheduled call once per month, and you’ll have one extra call to use when you need it most. A year of calls allows us to level up your grant strategy where you need it most. You can expect to feel more confident, get your work done more efficiently, and build a grant funding portfolio that performs better for your organization.

Federal Grant Budgets
This two-hour course considers allowability, allocability, reasonableness, and the federal object class categories. We will go through detailed examples of when and how to ask for commonly needed, but confusing-to-categorize budget requests.
