--- title: Grants Uncovered Episodes | Jessie Ballantyne description: As Founder of The Grants Hub, Jessie is super passionate about helping people find grants, so they can fund the often life-changing work that results from funding. Solving problems through tech and anything growth-related are her favourite lanes to work in. Outside of work, Jessie loves to write, travel, drink great coffee, eat croissants, read, live by the beach, and bake. image: https://www.thegrantshub.com.au/hubfs/Grants%20Uncovered%20Webpage%20Cover-1.png --- [![The Grant Hub](https://www.thegrantshub.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/TheGrantsHub_July2023/Images/Logo.png?width=200&height=47&name=Logo.png "The Grant Hub")](https://www.thegrantshub.com.au/) [![The Grants Hub](https://www.thegrantshub.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Logo%20(1).png?width=992&height=232&name=Logo%20(1).png "The Grants Hub")](https://www.thegrantshub.com.au/) - [Grants Directory](https://www.thegrantshub.com.au/grants-directory) - [Features](https://www.thegrantshub.com.au/grants-directory) - [Pricing](https://www.thegrantshub.com.au/pricing) - [Funding Provider Advertising](https://www.thegrantshub.com.au/funding-providers) - [Grant Resources](https://www.thegrantshub.com.au/grant-resources) - [Grant Resources](https://www.thegrantshub.com.au/grant-resources) - [Grant Writers](https://www.thegrantshub.com.au/grant-writers) - [Help Centre](https://help.thegrantshub.com.au) - [Blog](https://www.thegrantshub.com.au/blog) - [About](https://www.thegrantshub.com.au/our-story) - [Our Story](https://www.thegrantshub.com.au/our-story) - [ Our Team](https://www.thegrantshub.com.au/our-team) - [Giving](https://www.thegrantshub.com.au/giving) - [Contact Us](https://www.thegrantshub.com.au/contact-us) [ Sign Up ](https://app.thegrantshub.com.au/members/sign_up) [ Login ](https://app.thegrantshub.com.au/members/login) [ Login ](https://app.thegrantshub.com.au/members/login) [ Sign Up ](https://app.thegrantshub.com.au/members/sign_up) [ Login ](https://app.thegrantshub.com.au/members/login) [ Sign Up ](https://app.thegrantshub.com.au/members/sign_up) - [Grants Directory](https://www.thegrantshub.com.au/grants-directory) - [Features](https://www.thegrantshub.com.au/grants-directory) - [Pricing](https://www.thegrantshub.com.au/pricing) - [Funding Provider Advertising](https://www.thegrantshub.com.au/funding-providers) - [Grant Resources](https://www.thegrantshub.com.au/grant-resources) - [Grant Resources](https://www.thegrantshub.com.au/grant-resources) - [Grant Writers](https://www.thegrantshub.com.au/grant-writers) - [Help Centre](https://help.thegrantshub.com.au) - [Blog](https://www.thegrantshub.com.au/blog) - [About](https://www.thegrantshub.com.au/our-story) - [Our Story](https://www.thegrantshub.com.au/our-story) - [ Our Team](https://www.thegrantshub.com.au/our-team) - [Giving](https://www.thegrantshub.com.au/giving) - [Contact Us](https://www.thegrantshub.com.au/contact-us) [ Login ](https://app.thegrantshub.com.au/members/login) [ Sign Up ](https://app.thegrantshub.com.au/members/sign_up) ![Jessie Ballantyne](https://www.thegrantshub.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/TheGrantsHub_July2023/Images/Jessie%20-%20Founder%20of%20The%20Grants%20Hub-1.jpeg?width=170&height=170&name=Jessie%20-%20Founder%20of%20The%20Grants%20Hub-1.jpeg) # Jessie Ballantyne As Founder of The Grants Hub, Jessie is super passionate about helping people find grants, so they can fund the often life-changing work that results from funding.

Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. Even the all-powerful Pointing has no control about the blind texts it is an almost unorthographic life One day however a small line of blind text by the name of Lorem Ipsum decided to leave for the far World of Grammar.
