Entrepreneur and Indianapolis resident Joi McCrary operates two distinct, certified minority-owned businesses from her office near the intersection 46th Street and Keystone Avenue in Indianapolis, each designed to empower different segments of the community through expertise and strategic support. Together, Grants With Joi and ResumeMe, LLC provide a complementary suite of services that fuel organizational growth and individual career advancement.
Grants With Joi functions as a dedicated grant-writing, funding strategy and organizational development consultancy. It supports nonprofits, small businesses and community organizations across Indiana and beyond in securing vital funding. The service demystifies the grant process by offering comprehensive support, including grant research, writing and submission; funding readiness assessments; budget development; and long-term pipeline planning. A key focus is building organizational capacity, ensuring clients are not only prepared to win grants. However, they are also structured to sustain their impact. Recently, the initiative has expanded to include monthly grant education workshops and ongoing retainer consulting packages, providing clients with consistent strategic guidance rather than one-time assistance.
Alongside this organizational focus, McCrary’s venture ResumeMe addresses the critical need for professional development at the individual level. This career advancement service aids job seekers at every stage, from first-time applicants to seasoned professionals navigating a career transition. ResumeMe specializes in professional resume writing, LinkedIn profile optimization, one-on-one career coaching, and in-depth interview preparation. Moving beyond generic templates, the service offers personalized strategies to help clients articulate their value and achieve long-term career success. New offerings include monthly career development workshops and flexible coaching packages for ongoing support, reflecting a commitment to client success beyond a single transaction.
Both businesses are rooted in a philosophy of empowerment, clarity, and access. Grants With Joi aims to level the playing field for organizations seeking resources, while ResumeMe opens doors for individuals in the competitive job market. They are driven by the belief that with the right tools and guidance, both organizations and people can build stronger, more sustainable futures. McCrary’s dual ventures represent a holistic approach to community and economic development from a minority business perspective.
