Podcast Overview

Every year, billions of dollars in government funding go to the organizations that best understand the process. Hosted by David Kincade—Canada's leading grant writing expert and author of Golden Grant Rules—this podcast pulls back the curtain on how to navigate the complex world of public funding. David has helped clients secure over $10M in grants, and his Advanced Grant Writing Course has helped students win over $61M more. Whether you're meeting with bureaucrats in the "GrantTank" or trying to decode "governmentese," Winning the Public Purse provides the strategic roadmap to transform grant writing into a predictable pillar of your success. Through a mix of deep-dive solo masterclasses and interviews with successful entrepreneurs, executive directors, and policy insiders, we break down exactly how the money flows from the government to the front lines. This show is for: • For-Profit Businesses: Owners and employees looking to scale high-growth startups and grow their impact. • Not-for-Profits: Leaders who require mission-critical funds to help those most in need. From federal business incentives to local program grants, tune in to learn how to optimize your resources, leverage AI, and out-compete the field for the funding your mission deserves.
