## Resource

What if grants were not just for nonprofits — but also a powerful growth tool for businesses, entrepreneurs, and aspiring consultants? In this episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with Crystal Petry for an energetic and highly practical conversation about the true power of grant funding. Crystal explains why one of the biggest misconceptions in the funding world is that grants only apply to nonprofit organizations, and how businesses and entrepreneurs can also leverage grant opportunities to support expansion, staffing, operations, and long-term growth. Drawing from more than a decade of experience securing millions of dollars in grant funding, Crystal shares the mindset, discipline, and strategy required to become successful in the grant writing space. Throughout the episode, Crystal also dives into her quarterly virtual grant writing bootcamp, where participants work hands-on through real grant applications and leave with up to 80–85% of an actual grant completed. The conversation explores the importance of research, diversification, grant history, timing, alignment with funders, and building credibility over time. Rick and Crystal also discuss podcasting, education, entrepreneurship, and the importance of empowering people with actionable knowledge they can immediately apply in their own organizations and careers. Whether you are a nonprofit leader, entrepreneur, consultant, aspiring grant writer, or someone searching for new funding opportunities, this episode offers practical insights and inspiring encouragement on how strategic grant writing can become a long-term engine for growth and impact.
