The funding gap

You're doing the work.
Funding shouldn't be
the wall you hit.

Every year, billions in grants go unclaimed. Not because nobody qualifies, but because the people who do are too busy doing the work to spend three months decoding application portals.

  1. 01 You've heard there's grant money out there, but you can't tell what's real from what's a scam-flavored Facebook ad.
  2. 02 The "official" databases are built for grant writers, not founders trying to keep their lights on.
  3. 03 And when you finally find one, you're filling out a 14-page form alone, at midnight, hoping you didn't miss something.
  4. 04 You don't need more information. You need someone to tell you which three programs to apply to this month.

The good news: you don’t have to become a grants expert. You just need one in your corner.

Matthew Lesko

Years of

Meet Matthew

Matthew Lesko has spent half a century turning government bureaucracy into people's good news.

You probably know him from the yellow suit and the question marks. That's the costume. The work underneath is serious: 100+ books, four decades of TV appearances, and a personal database of grant programs that started before most of his members were born.

He built LeskoHelp because the people who need grant money the most (solo operators, small teams, mission-driven nonprofits) were the ones least equipped to navigate the systems that hand it out. So he built the navigation.

He’s watched thousands of people stand exactly where you’re standing — certain the money was meant for somebody else. Proving them wrong is his favorite part of the job, and after 50 years he still can’t wait to do it again. This time, for you.

How it works

Three steps from "is this even real?" to your first funded application.

No 12-week course. No secret system. Just a clear roadmap with a guide, a community, group coaching, resources, and AI tools that do the heavy lookup work for you.

01 · Get your call sheet

Generate your personalized report

Tell our AI your situation: your work, your location, your goals. It produces a curated “call sheet” of grants you actually qualify for, drawn from Matthew's vetted database. Most members get theirs in under 5 minutes.

Why this works

There are three ways to get your personal call sheet, and you can make as many as you want:

  • Generate one with the Lesko AI researcher
  • Ask the team to build one for you in the Questions Channel
  • Join a call sheet class and we create it together

It becomes your baseline report: a highly focused, highly specialized list that kickstarts your grant search.

Why now

The money doesn't wait.
Neither should you.

Grant programs run on windows and deadlines. The only people who miss out are the ones still "thinking about it" when the window closes.

?On the table in 2026
$4.96T

In U.S. grants & programs — federal, state, local, and foundation money that must be given out.

?Closing constantly
Every week

Application windows open and close. Miss one, wait a year. Members see deadlines before they pass.

?Cost to apply
$0

Most programs cost nothing to apply. The price of a grant isn't money — it's knowing where to look.

Funding goes to whoever shows up. This is how you show up.

I'd been trying to fund a community arts program for two years on my own. Through Lesko's coaching I found three state-level grants I didn't know existed. We got the first one approved last month.

As a freelancer I'd never thought of myself as someone who could get a grant. The AI report turned up a state small-business equipment program. I bought the studio gear I'd been postponing for two years.

I figured grants were for tech startups, not a two-man landscaping crew. My report flagged a veteran-owned business program I'd never heard of, and the coaches helped me get the paperwork right the first time.

Common questions

Things people ask before joining.

Are these actually real grants? It feels too good. +

Yes. Every program in our database is a real, government or foundation-administered grant. Matthew has been cataloging them for 50 years. The catch isn't that they don't exist. It's that they're scattered across thousands of agencies, foundations, and state programs that don't market themselves. Our job is to surface the ones you qualify for.

I'm a freelancer or a one-person business. Do grants even apply to me? +

More than you'd expect. There are programs specifically for sole proprietors, individual artists, freelance researchers, women-owned businesses, veteran-owned businesses, rural entrepreneurs, and many other niches. The AI report is built to find the ones that match your specific situation, not just generic small-business programs.

How is this different from just searching Grants.gov myself? +

Grants.gov is one source: the federal one. Most of the funding for small operators actually comes from state agencies, regional economic development offices, and private foundations that aren't on Grants.gov at all. Our database covers all of those, and the coaching helps you actually navigate the application, not just find it.

Will someone write my grant application for me? +

No, and that's intentional. Grant writers cost $2,000–$10,000+ per application and can't fund themselves working on a freelance budget. We coach you through writing your own, with feedback at every step. Most members find that after one or two applications, they can do it themselves with confidence.

What if I'm too busy to attend live classes? +

Classes run every weekday across multiple time zones, and most are recorded. Many members never attend live. They post in the Questions Channel and get replies within hours. The community works asynchronously too.

Is this U.S. only? +

Yes — LeskoHelp Pro is U.S. only. The database covers federal, state, local, and U.S. foundation programs, and they're available to everyone in America. Some programs don't even require you to be a citizen.

What's the refund policy? +

30-day money-back guarantee on all plans. If you join, attend a few classes, generate a report, and decide it's not for you, we refund you. No forms, no friction.
