In an ever-more competitive world, no one can afford to leave their potential on the table

Grant Writing

Grant funding is meant to drive your mission, not drain your time, energy and resources. We partner with you to deliver the best possible case in support of your program, tailor convincing, comprehensive and compliant letters of inquiry and proposals, and we support your donor-relationship management throughout the process.

Typical fees: from $2,500

Writing & Editing

We are word-nerds who know what it’s like to work on a document for so long you can no longer see the wood from the trees. We love nothing more than restoring clarity, focus and flow, while making sure your proposal or report is solid and tailored to the specific requirements of any given donor.

Typical fees: on an individual basis

Funding Strategy

+ A comprehensive strategic analysis of the top 20 to 30 prospective donors whose giving priorities most perfectly align with your mission and activities.

+ A detailed program for moving forward based on each prospect’s priorities, requirements, competitiveness, and history.

+ A Grants Calendar detailing all deadlines and requirements for the next 12 months so nothing slips by.

++ A tailor-made one-page prospectus so that donors can see at a glance exactly who you are, what you do and what you’ve already achieved.

++ A project-management toolkit, including a master proposal, so that you have the tools and documentation you need if you decide to handle the grant writing itself in-house.

A Funding Strategy takes the guesswork out of major-donor fundraising, promotes organisational stability, enables future planning, and maximises the possibility of successfully securing grant funding while minimising the amount of time and energy spent on it by your team.

We use top-tier, subscription-only databases (Instrumentl and GrantStation) that provide comprehensive details for 100s of thousands of US, Canadian and international donors, many of which can’t be found with a standard internet search, and include private foundations and corporate funders that support projects all over the world.

Typical fees: US$2,500 to $5,000

We offer special rates for small organizations, or if you need a condensed report for results in a hurry.
