Services

Pricing and services are customized to meet the needs of each client. Proposals are generated after a free consultation and intake.

  • We’ll thoroughly research and identify funding opportunities that align with your organization’s mission and goals. Each grant will be carefully matched to your programs, priorities, and eligibility, resulting in a curated list of the best opportunities to pursue.

  • We craft compelling, tailored proposals that highlight your organization’s strengths, align with funder priorities, and maximize your chances of success. With your goals and mission in mind, we handle every detail to deliver a polished, professional submission.

  • Funders often require applicants to articulate the core challenges your organization addresses and why funding is critical to your success. A Needs Assessment will analyze data about the community’s need for your services and align this with your impact to create a clear and compelling case for support.
