The Real Problem

You Have Applied Before.
You Did Not Hear Back.

You spent days on that proposal.

You researched the funder. You followed the format. You submitted before the deadline.

And then nothing.

Or worse, a rejection with no explanation.

Here is what most grant coaches will not tell you.

The problem usually has nothing to do with your proposal.

It has to do with your organization's fundability. The structural readiness that funders assess before they even finish reading your first paragraph.

Strong organizations with poor preparation get rejected. Average organizations with proper preparation get funded. Every time.

That is the gap FRACAD Quickstart is designed to close.

Writing Like a Funder Reads
How to write clearly, precisely, and compellingly. The exact language patterns that signal credibility and the common mistakes that kill strong applications.
Day 8
Budget Design & Financial Credibility
How to design a grant budget that funders trust. Cost allocation, overhead justification, co-funding requirements, and the financial signals that build confidence.
Day 9
Due Diligence Readiness

What Alumni Say

People Who Did the Work.
And Won.

★★★★★

“I had applied to 11 grants before FRACAD. Zero wins. I thought the problem was my writing. It was not. It was my fundability. Three months after finishing the Quickstart program, we secured our first grant from a US-based foundation. The vault alone saved me six months of research.”

Sarah O.
NGO Founder · Lagos, Nigeria
★★★★★

“The fundability module completely changed how we pitched. We secured our first grant 3 months later. I keep recommending this to every founder I know who is struggling with funding.”

Amara N.
Social Enterprise · Accra, Ghana
★★★★★

“I didn't know these grants existed. The opportunity vault is worth the entire price alone. I found 3 funders relevant to my sector that I had never heard of before.”

John D.
Cleantech Founder · Nairobi, Kenya
★★★★★

“FRACAD de-mystified the whole process. I finally feel confident applying for big grants. Blessing's feedback during the live session was direct, honest, and exactly what I needed.”

★★★★★

FAQ

Before You Enroll

Is this guaranteed to get me funding?+
No program can guarantee funding. The final decision always belongs to the funder. What FRACAD guarantees is that you will stop guessing. You will understand exactly what funders look for, build the structure they require, and submit proposals that are genuinely competitive. That shift greatly increases your chances of winning repeatedly.
How long do I have access to the materials?+
You have full access to all course materials, including any curriculum updates, for one full year from the date of enrollment. This includes the grant vault, proposal templates, assessment tools, and the recording of the live group session.
Is this for nonprofits or for-profit businesses?+
Both. The fundability framework applies to any organization seeking non-dilutive capital. The curriculum includes specific tracks for NGO grants and for-profit innovation grants. Both paths are addressed directly inside the program.
What if I cannot attend the live group session?+
The live group session is recorded in full. If you cannot attend live, you receive the recording within 24 hours. You can also submit your questions in advance and they will be answered on the call even if you are not present.
Can I upgrade to Intensive Coaching later?+
Yes. Many of our Intensive Coaching students started with Quickstart. If you decide to upgrade, your Quickstart payment is credited toward your Intensive enrollment. You pay only the difference.
What is the refund policy?+
We do not process refunds. Once payment is made, your enrollment is confirmed and you may apply your payment toward any of our services. We encourage you to explore the Free program first to experience the quality of our curriculum before committing.
Are the prices in USD or Naira?+
The Quickstart program is $49 USD (₦55,555 for Nigerian participants). All prices are exclusive of VAT and processing fees where applicable.
Do I get a certificate?+
Yes. Quickstart participants who complete all modules and the final project receive a verifiable FRACAD Certificate in Fundraising Strategy. It is shareable directly on your LinkedIn profile.
