What you get, free
Grant Readiness Checklist
One page to confirm your registrations, documents, and systems are in place before you apply.
Grant Budget Template
An editable Excel budget for your next application.
The problem
You have a grant due in three weeks and no system. You are pulling a budget together in a blank spreadsheet, guessing at what reviewers want, and hoping your SAM.gov registration still works. You have done good work for years, but the paperwork stands between you and the funding.
Funders reject applications before a reviewer scores a word. A lapsed registration. A missing form. A budget line breaking a cost rule. Each one is avoidable. The free checklist shows you where you stand today.
Ready for the full system?
The Holler Grants Flagship Toolkit gives you the system a funded organization uses, without the price of a consultant. Score your readiness, build your plan, set your budget, clear your compliance, and report like a pro.
You bring the mission. The kit brings the structure.

Who the toolkit is for
Built for you if you are
- A nonprofit director wearing every hat, with a deadline coming.
- A new organization applying for its first grant.
- A small team with grant wins and no system to manage them.
If you have a mission and a deadline, this kit was built for you.
What the kit is not
This is a set of professional templates and guides. The kit is not legal or financial advice, and does not write your application for you. You bring your project. The kit gives you the structure to present your project well.
How the toolkit works
Pay once.
Editable Word and Excel files, plus PDF guides.
Work through the kit in order.
Use the templates for every grant you pursue, for as long as you run your organization.
One kit. One price.
Your guarantee: use the kit for 14 days. If the kit does not give you a clearer, more organized path to your next application, reply to your receipt and get a full refund. The risk sits with the kit, not with you.
Common questions
Do I need special software?
You need Microsoft Word and Excel, or a free equivalent for those file types. The guides are PDFs and open anywhere.
Is this only for federal grants?
No. The compliance checklist covers federal registration and rules, since those trip up the most applicants. The plan, budget, and report templates work for foundation, state, and local grants too.
Will this work outside Appalachia?
Yes. The system applies to any small organization writing grants, anywhere. The tools are built to travel.
Is this legal or financial advice?
No. These are professional templates and guides. Always follow your specific funder's guidelines and confirm current rules.
Do I pay every month?
No. You pay once and keep the kit.
