HURRY! REGISTER NOW FOR OUR AUGUST COHORT
SUNFLOWER SCHOLAR SCHOOL
Five Weeks.
One Grant.
Lifetime Skills.
From survival to strategy. From reactive to ready. From gritty to dreamy.
We help nonprofits succeed on their own — and reach for the stars.
“Sunflower Scholar School was born from a deep belief that brilliant, mission-driven people shouldn’t be locked out of funding simply because no one ever taught them how to access it. I’ve lived the frustration, the overwhelm, and the uncertainty—and I wanted to create something that transforms all of that into clarity, confidence, and real momentum.” — Katie LeDoux
Scholar School is where nonprofits move from gritty to dreamy
You’ve been doing the work — figuring things out, stretching resources, and showing up no matter what. That’s grit. Now it’s time to build something sustainable, strategic, and expansive. That’s dreamy.
In five weeks, we help you bridge that gap. Your registration fee includes:
- All 5 modules led by a Sunflower team member in real time!
- Live Group Coaching Sessions and homework providing review of one core document
- Templates and a wrap-up toolkit to outline next steps
- Certificate of completion

You deserve this
I built my business the gritty way—figuring it out as I went, learning through experience, and showing up even when it was hard.
Scholar School exists because I don’t believe nonprofits should have to stay in that place.
You deserve structure. You deserve strategy. You deserve to dream bigger about what’s possible.
Remember: Steady progress — not perfection — leads to winning grants!
