About Us
How It Works
Eligibility: You have an idea on which you’re ready to execute.
That’s it! If you’re looking to demystify Grants and Government funding, we’re here to help! The key words here are YOU, HAVE, IDEA, and READY. It is important that the IDEA belongs to YOU and that you HAVE it (meaning that you own it in some way). It is also important that you are READY to execute on the idea as opposed to something that you are “maybe” looking to do “at some point” or “one day” or “when the eagles fly over the delta at 45 degrees angles to the sound of Earth, Wind, & Fire while purple rain falls from the sky.” Basically, be over the excuses and the reasons why you can’t and be ready to show your community you can! If you are ready to execute on your vision, we are where to start! Book a FREE consultation today to get started. Friendship is Free. Membership is $1K/Year or $100./Monthly. What’s the difference?

EQUITY FOR ALL
Our national cohort unites social-preneurs, activists, artists, business leaders, and community stakeholders with Government to divine solutions and capitalize on opportunities to infuse equity. You’ll hear the word ‘equity’ a lot when you join L.L.C.O.O.L.J. because it is our Why.
We can tell you about compounded global disparities or how the pursuit for environmental justice is really an anti-racism effort OR how literacy is THE way to de-escalate trauma in the community despite the powers-that-be. We can also SHOW you how to do something about it. In choosing to be solution-driven and actionary, we strive to combat barriers to critical literacy and knowledge that broadens perspectives and worldviews. In short, L.L.C.O.O.L.J. with our 94% success rate is making it possible to do more and less probable to not do all one can.
