What This Training Covers

If You Watched the Full Training,
Here Is What You Now Know

Why Most Applications Fail Before They Are Read

Funders assess organizational readiness before they evaluate proposals. Most rejections happen in the first 30 seconds. You now know what they are looking for.

The Fundability Framework

The 7-dimension system funders use to evaluate organizations. You now have a clear picture of which dimensions your organization scores well on and which need work.

How Global Funders Think

The decision logic behind grant approvals across the US, UK, Europe, and Africa. Why strong organizations get rejected and what separates a fundable application from a wasted one.

The Gap Between Knowing and Winning

Understanding the framework is step one. Applying it to your actual organization, your proposals, and your specific funders is where grants are won. That is what FRACAD Quickstart builds.

★★★★★

“I watched the free training on a Tuesday night. By Wednesday I had enrolled in Quickstart. Three months later we submitted our first proper application to a European development funder. Four months after that we received confirmation of a two-year grant. I genuinely do not think that happens without FRACAD.”

★★★★★

“The free training was more practical than courses I have paid hundreds of dollars for. The Fundability Framework made immediate sense. I enrolled in Quickstart the same evening.”

David K.
Tech Founder · Nairobi, Kenya
★★★★★

“The grant vault alone was worth ten times the $49. I found three funders I had never heard of. One of them was a perfect match for our agriculture programme.”

Before You Enroll

Is Quickstart different from the free training I just watched?+
Yes, significantly. The free training gives you the framework and the mindset. Quickstart gives you the complete system: 30+ lessons, the full grant opportunity vault with 20-50 curated funders, proposal writing templates from real applications, a scored fundability assessment with written recommendations, a live group session, and your personal 90-day action plan.
How long do I have access to Quickstart materials?+
You have full access to all materials, including any curriculum updates, for one full year from the date of enrollment. This includes the video lessons, grant vault, proposal templates, and the recording of the live group FAQ session.
Is this for nonprofits or for-profit businesses?+
Both. The Quickstart curriculum includes specific tracks for NGO grants and for-profit innovation grants. The fundability framework applies to any organization seeking non-dilutive capital.
What if I want coaching instead of a self-paced program?+
The Intensive Coaching program ($499 / ₦555,555) gives you 5+ live weekend coaching sessions, personal proposal review, a custom grant roadmap, and done-with-you proposal writing. Your Quickstart payment credits toward Intensive if you upgrade. See the Intensive page for details.
