Plus, you will keep these as templates and be able to use the templates for future grants, website copy, social media posts, fundraising letters, and more.
Implement & Growth
You won't have to work weekends and evenings with writing grants, because you now have us to focus on writing grants for your organisation.
Benefits of long-term contracts
A strong grant writing strategy that can yield the highest amount of funding for your organisation is a long-game. Our unique way is proven as a longer contract will where it is meant for funding growth for your nonprofit.
The longer we can work with your nonprofit, the more familiar we become with your programs and the more data and proposals we have to pull from, which results in more grant proposals (that are a strategic fit) which equals a higher yield of potential funding.
From understanding and fixing red flags all the way to creating relationships with funding sources, we develop sustainable strategies that will work year over year. We believe that the first year is laying the groundwork and developing strong relationships that can results in multi-year funding for decades.

FAQ's
No, writing grants on commission goes against the industry best practices (Grant Professional Association’s code of conduct), and is against IRS OMB Super-Circular polices. Plus, we are creating products for you that can give longevity impact
No, our grant writing services are highly specialized services and take time.
We never guarantee funding because that is out of our control. This could be due to a change in priority of the funding source at the last minute, limited funds, or are targeting specific nonprofits. Certain foundations may also not award grant applications (on average) the first three times that a nonprofit submits a grant application. This is due to getting to know the nonprofit and why so many start-up nonprofits dissolve early on. Plus, an application is not just submitting a document, but it is creating a relationship and sometimes those relationships take some time before they result in funding.
