How It Works — From Startup to Funded
New Skills Online uses the R.A.T.E.S. Framework™ to move your organization from startup to funded — systematically, not accidentally.
Step 1 — Assess Your Readiness
R.A.T.E.S. Readiness Check
Before you write a single grant proposal, you need to know where your organization stands. The Easy Business Developer starts with a guided assessment that shows you exactly where your gaps are.
Step 2 — Build Your Foundation
7-Step R.A.T.E.S. Curriculum
Using the R.A.T.E.S. Framework, you build the documentation funders actually require — your program model, logic model, financial structure, outcome tracking system, and sustainability plan.
Step 3 — Write, Market & Sustain
Proposals. Donors. Growth.
With your foundation built, Easy Grant Writer Pro guides you through winning proposals. Easy Marketing Pro builds your donor base. Together, they create the three-legged funding stool that keeps your organization standing — grant or no grant.
