Our grant writing services and consultation takes a 3-step approach to assist you in every step of the grant funding process.
The first step is to evaluate if your organization is prepared to receive and apply for funding for grants. If not, we can guide you through the needed preparatory steps. This is the PRIME stage.
Once the primer has set you then move on to the next stage which is where the artistry of developing your winning grant proposal really happens. This is where we work with you to fully understand your organization, missions, needs, budget, program goals, and objectives, and piece all of these individual paint drops together to create a grant proposal and strategy for applying to selected funding opportunities. This is the PAINT stage.
Once all of the applications have been submitted, we can work with you to track the funding, follow up with grantors, draft thank you letters, and evaluate the grant application process to make changes and updates for future funding requests. This is the VARNISH stage.
Finally, every step of our grant writing services is always executed with passion, professionalism, and love.

Phase 2 - Paint
GRANT WRITING AND FUNDING
Are you an already established non-profit that already has the components listed in the Prime phase ready to go? Well, now that the primer is set it's time to add on the paint. This is where your grant proposal masterpiece comes to life!
- Letter of Inquiry consists of creating and submitting a response letter or application form to a grant opportunity to be considered for the opportunity to submit a full proposal.
- Mini-Grants are grants with a simple and standard application process typically in the funding range of $1000 to $5000 where the funder is not seeking a full grant proposal for consideration.
- A grant search will consist of a comprehensive search and presentation of funding opportunities in your organizations' geographical region and sector.
- Grant Application consists of completing a single application for either a grant that your organization or our grant search has identified as a potential funding source. This does not include the development of the proposal or program narrative.
Proposal Development consists of building out a full grant proposal based on your organization's mission, vision, needs, objectives, goals, and project budget. We help you to creatively and concisely bring your amazing mission-oriented goals to paper and develop a comprehensive proposal that is an asset to your organization. This proposal is a stand-alone document that does not include an application to any particular funding opportunity. If you already have a proposal that was developed by your team or another grant writer we can also review and rewrite for updates, changes, and improvements.

Phase 3 - Varnish
GRANT APPROVAL REVIEW, FOLLOW UP & CONTINUED PROJECT EVALUATION
Just like a beautiful portrait needs varnish to seal everything in, your responsibilities are not completed
once the grant checks start rolling in. Often funders will want updates and evaluations to track and show
what you have done with their generous contributions.
Remember!
We offer this service only to clients that we have written, applied to, and won grants for.
