Description
Welcome to The Ultimate Grants Toolkit!
Welcome to (take a deep breath, it’s a long title ...) The ULTIMATE Grants Toolkit: Essential Worksheets, Blueprints, and Step-By-Step Planning Guides to Help You Build A+ Proposals – and Great Grant-Funded Projects!
With a title like that, who needs an introduction? Well, we do. A few words, at least ... to make sure you know everything you need to know about the resource you’re holding in your hand, o you can get the very most from it.
The ULTIMATE Grants Toolkit is really two resources in one:
- The first is the 243-page downloadable/printable "notebook" manuscript of all the planning tools and worksheets – as well as instructions and elucidations for putting them to work.
- The second is the collection of 90 downloadable "tools" - the worksheets, checklists, planning templates, etc. that are the heart of The ULTIMATE Grants Toolkit.
The 243-page notebook manuscript is organized into nine separate sections, by broad topic. You will find explanatory text at the beginning of each section. The Toolkit manuscript includes 90 tools and worksheets numbered consecutively throughout the entire manuscript, making it easier to identify.
- The Contents pages contain a complete page-ordered index of all the worksheets, by number and by name.
- Be sure to read "Introduction: Welcome to the Toolkit!" on pp. 1-4 for a great overview and helpful context for getting the most out of your Toolkit resource.
All 41 of the fillable forms and worksheets contained in the Toolkit manuscript are also available to you as their own downloadable PDF files. You'll find in your handouts which are organized by book section.

Maryn Boess Related Seminars and Products
Executive Director
GrantsMagicU
Over her 35+-year career in the nonprofit world, Maryn has been an on-staff program developer and grantwriter; a independent grants consultant (winning more than $42 million for her clients over 10 years); a grants project manager; a grants trainer; a grants reviewer, author, speaker, mentor and coach; and - starting in 2006 - even a grantmaker.
This done-it-all background gives her the unique 3-D "insider's" perspective she brings to the practical and inspiring trainings on healthy, successful grantsmanship that she has been blessed to share with thousands of nonprofits of every size, nationally and internationally as well.
GrantsMagic U, launched in fall 2015, is the "virtual academy" she created to make her extensive portfolio of grantsmanship trainings available (and affordable!) for anyone, anytime, anywhere. GrantsMagic U's global student community now includes over 45,000 people from at least 34 countries, including all 50 U.S. states, DC, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Virgin Islands.
GrantsMagic U is an Approved Continuing Education Provider for both the Grant Professionals Certification (GPC) and Certified Fund-Raising Executive (CFRE) credentials. GrantsMagic U is also one of only 15 "Approved Trainers" for the Grant Professionals Association.
Since 2006 Maryn has also been “in the grantmaker’s chair,” managing up to $2 million annually in grantmaking for K-12 education in the U.S. Southwest. She considers herself a dual citizen in the grants world, and may be the only person to hold simultaneous membership in both GPA (Grant Professionals Association, for grantseekers) and GEO (Grantmakers for Effective Organizations, for grantmakers).
In 2020, in recognition of her longstanding service and contribution to the grant profession, Maryn became just the second person ever to be inducted into the international Grant Professionals Class of Distinguished Fellows.
