I am Jakita Owensby Thomas.  I am a Black Grantwriter from Atlanta and a Ph.D., educator, and tech activist.  I've been awarded over $2MM in grant funding, bootstrapped three successful companies, and received a commendation from President Barack Obama for my grant-supported research.  I've also helped non-profit founders like you win over $4MM in grant funding.

The top questions people would have for me are: How do you learn about grant opportunities?  How do you create proposals that get funded?  How have you been so successful at being awarded funding?  How do you manage it all?

I’m determined to show up as the best version of myself because I believe that everyone has the right to marry their passion with their purpose, and I want my children to understand that anything they put their minds and a plan to can be successfully achieved.
