You’ll leave The Gathering with tangible takeaways for navigating these changes and being the calm and steady force needed right now.Grounded in Your Authority as an ExpertYou’re not just a grant writer. Whether consulting or working internally, you’ll leave with proven strategies, scripts for positioning your value, and coaching to help you claim your space as a confident authority—even if you're still building credibility.Inspired to Unlock Your Level 10 SelfListen up—you get in rooms like this, and you fundamentally change. You see what’s possible. You get wicked inspired. Because let’s be real, this work can be lonely. More now than ever, you need Unicorn Besties on speed dial. The Gathering will unlock the level 10 version of you.Up on the Latest AI Strategies for Grant WritersThe grant writing industry is NOT keeping with it. The GPA Grant Summit barely touched on AI, and most of our "competitors" aren’t building a culture around developing AI skills. Right now, the gap between grant writers using AI and those who aren’t might seem small, but by 2026, that gap will explode. You’ll be on the front end of it.Ready to Take Action with Real, Tangible TakeawaysAt The Gathering, you won’t just leave with inspiration — you’ll leave with real tools you can put to work immediately. From a 90-day action plan to customizable frameworks and scripts, you’ll be ready to implement everything you’ve learned and hit the ground running when home.Have more curiosity?Check out our wesbite to learn more about Learn Grant Writing and what we aim to achieve at The Gathering.  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/a8199f90-d33e-11f0-996b-d59fe40bb918-rimg-w1110-h740-dcf4f3f0-gmir.jpg   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/a8598ec0-d33e-11f0-8e6b-3d758292774f-rimg-w1110-h740-dc2f1c15-gmir.jpg Our Refund PolicyYou may cancel for a full refund up to 60 days before the event.Cancellations made between 30 and 60 days before the event are eligible for a 50% refund.After 30 days before the event, we are unable to offer refunds.
