The Open Door Sprint · A 2-Week Live Workshop
In two weeks of live, hands-on sessions, you will build your own AI grant system — in your own account, with your nonprofit's own numbers — and leave with a real application, drafted and verified, ready to submit.
Talk-audience price — $397 for 48 hours after the talk only, then it returns to $497. One payment at checkout via PayPal — and if you need to spread it out, PayPal offers Pay Later right there at checkout. One $10,000 grant is more than 25 times this fee.
Claim My Seat — $397No seat limit — the deadline is the limit. This is the founding cohort: be in the first room, and build your system alongside the first group of founders doing this work.
The Problem
You heard it in the talk: grant funding feels closed to organizations like yours — the founder is also the program director, and some days the janitor. But the money is real. What's missing is a system, and someone in the room when the questions come up. Sound familiar?
The Solution
You will not be logging into anyone else's tools. You build your own grant agent, in your own AI account, loaded with your nonprofit's data — from the same blueprint Kass uses for her own 501(c)(3). When the Sprint ends, the system stays yours.
A standing profile of your nonprofit, then a real search — run live in Session 1 — that returns a shortlist ranked by fit, not by size.
The gates checklist, worked on real opportunities: entity, geography, population, financials, deadline. Park the fails early, on purpose.
A real application written to the funder's own scoring criteria, inside their exact limits, with a budget that sums to the penny.
Every fact about your organization checked against a real document. The AI proposes — you dispose. Never let a machine invent your numbers.
Submission-day logistics done right, plus a 12-month tracker that turns every application into next year's pipeline.
How the Two Weeks Run
Your completed fact sheet goes into your own AI account while Kass demos hers live. Then your first real search runs in the room, per focus area, and you name your top three fits before you log off.
You leave with: your profile loaded, an agent that can search, and a ranked shortlist of real funders.
The gates checklist, worked live on real opportunities — then on yours. You'll say out loud why the fails get parked, and choose the one target worth your next two weeks.
You leave with: one qualified target — or an honest park and a strong second choice.
The drafting lab. Guidelines and rubric first — no writing before them — then a full working session on your real application, with Kass circulating and troubleshooting live. Volunteers read sections back against the rubric language.
You leave with: a real drafted application — narrative plus a line-item budget that sums exactly.
The verify pass: compliance against the guidelines, then every organizational fact checked against a document. Then submission logistics — the draft-offline rule, portals that can't save halfway, the two-contacts rule — and your tracker, set up with decision dates.
You leave with: a submission-ready application, your own running grant agent, and a 12-month tracker.
Why Believe This Works
"I don't use AI to write magic words. I use it the way a smart executive uses a good chief of staff — to research, to organize, to draft, to check my work, and to never let a deadline surprise me."
Enroll — Next Cohort
This is the founding cohort — be in the first room. No seat limit — the deadline is the limit: $397 for 48 hours after the talk, then it returns to $497.
Your admission ticket: enrollment includes the nonprofit fact sheet — your legal name, mission, budget, contacts, and one program you've run. Fill it in when you enroll and bring it to Session 1. In a two-week sprint there is no session to spare hunting numbers — that sheet is what lets your first search run live, in the room.
You'll build your own AI grant agent, in your own AI account.
Secure PayPal checkout — $397. Pay in full via PayPal, or choose PayPal's Pay Later at checkout. Your enrollment is confirmed when your PayPal payment completes.
Keep the summary with your fact sheet — together they're your Session 1 starting kit.
The Second Door · Start on Your Own
The Mission Meets Money Grant Action Bundle is the quieter second door: the same system from the talk, distilled into three workbooks you work at your own pace, at your own desk — no live room, no schedule to keep.
All three workbooks together for $47 — $75 if bought separately on the store.

Questions, Answered Straight
All four live sessions (7 hours on Zoom with Kass), the complete Participant Kit — profile template, agent blueprint, gates checklist, drafting worksheet, verify checklist, and grant tracker — and a drafted, verified, submission-ready application for one real grant, built by you during the Sprint. The talk price of $397 (regular $497) holds for 48 hours after the talk. It's one payment at checkout via PayPal — and if you'd rather spread it out, PayPal offers a built-in Pay Later option right at checkout.
Your nonprofit's information goes into your own AI account — entered by you, housed there, and reached only under your own login. It never goes into Kass's account or anyone else's, and Kass and the instructors never keep or store a copy of your data — anything you show during live troubleshooting is your choice to share. You decide what your agent sees, you verify every fact it uses, and your data stays under your account's control. It is never shared with other participants — nobody in the cohort sees your numbers unless you volunteer to share a section in a read-back.
This workshop was designed by a teacher whose whole career is explaining technology so it connects. Everything is demonstrated live, in plain language, and the live, hands-on format exists precisely so your questions get answered in the room — not in a help forum afterward.
It's a one-page fill-in sheet: legal name, mission, service area, budget, tax status, two contacts, and one program example. It's your admission ticket because the Sprint moves fast — Session 1 runs your first real search, and an agent can only search and draft as well as the facts it's given. Gathering those numbers is the work that stalls founders working alone; here, you do it once, up front, with the sheet in hand.
No — and be wary of anyone who offers. You leave submission-ready: a drafted, verified application, the submission logistics worked out, and a tracker with your target's deadline and decision dates. If your grant's deadline falls after Session 4, you submit on schedule with everything ready. Your name is on the building — you press the button.
That's the Grants Desk, below — Kass's team runs the same system for a small number of organizations. The Sprint exists for founders who want the skill in-house, permanently. The Desk exists for founders who'd rather hand it off.
Not Ready for the Sprint?
The Mission Meets Money Grant Action Bundle — all three workbooks (The Grant Fit Finder, The Funding Story Builder, and The Submission Confidence Kit) for founders who want to work the system at their own pace, without the live room. $75 if bought separately — save $28.
Get the Bundle — $47 →The done-for-you tier: the same five-stage system, run for your organization — profile, scheduled searches, qualification, drafting support, and tracking. Capped at 5 organizations so the work stays real.
Two weeks from now, you can still be finding grants the way you found this talk — by chance. Or you can have a system, a shortlist, a drafted application, and a pipeline. Forty-eight hours at $397.
