"Our work with Workmorphis led to us getting a $5 million earmark from the State of Ohio through state operating dollars, $2.5 million for two years. We've been investing that money into activating the workforce development strategy that we developed with Workmorphis, and it's really transformed the organization."

Brandi Mandato, Senior Director, Jobs for the Future

About

Founder, Workmorphis | Policy Strategist & Former State Director

Hi, I'm Emily Fabiano. After serving as a director and senior advisor in the governor’s office, I saw something troubling: the best ideas rarely made it to a decision-maker’s desk. Reviewing hundreds of budget pitches taught me that success isn’t just about who you know— it’s about aligning with what actually matters to policymakers.

I believe that mission-driven organizations shouldn't need to spend $10,000+ monthly on lobbyists or consultants like me to get noticed. I created this course so mission-driven leaders can confidently win public funding without paying for access.

I’ve helped organizations secure millions in funding. Now it’s your turn.

The course includes a 30-day money-back guarantee. If learners don’t feel more confident after completing it, they can request a full refund—no questions asked.
