• Yes! Our head grant writer has the Grant Writing and Funding Grant Writing Certificate and the Learn Grant Writing Grant Writing Certificate.  Additionally, they have secured over $600,000 in grant funding.

  • We have secured over $600,000 in grant funding for three organizations, one state government, one municipality and one non-profit. We have also worked with county governments to do grant research and develop funding strategies. 


  • No, we never guarantee funding because that is out of our control. A grant application not being funded could be due to a myriad of things from funding priorities changing at the last minute, to limited funds, to lack of relationship with the funder and many more. Some foundations don’t even fund organizations until they’ve seen their application at least three years in a row. Plus, an application is more than just submitting a document, it’s building a relationship and sometimes it can take time for those relationships to result in funding. What we can do is help you create a sustainable grants strategy and build momentum, even when you do not get grants funded.

  • Working with us or another grant writer will produce a large ROI, whether the grant gets awarded or not. If the grant does get awarded, you will have funding secured and an influx of funding. If not, you will still get a return on your investment. Once you have a blueprint of how a program could be implemented, a solid budget and a program plan, you can repurpose this material for any efforts in building the program. 


    Four additional ways to benefit from declined grants: 

    • We can secure feedback from the funding source. Federal grants often return the comments from all grant reviewers as well as a score. Foundation grants will sometimes provide feedback as well. This is very valuable for you and your grant writer as you now know exactly what to tweak next time you submit. 

    • We can also use the grant as a template to tweak for other grant applications. Grant applications need recent statistics, implementation outlines, and budgets. This information will not be wasted as you can use it to apply for other grant opportunities. 

    • The language and budget developed for the grant application can also be used to show the need for the program through fundraisers, sponsorship forms, crowdfunding campaigns, etc. 

    • The language developed for the grant can also be used in excerpts, infographics and statistics to be used on your website or social media.

  • No, Our services are not free as we have specific skills that benefit your organization. Our retainer fee is $3,000 per month, our grant readiness package starts at $5,000, we offer individually priced à la carte services and we have a free grant readiness guide which can be found here. 


  • No, this is now considered unethical and unallowable by the Grant Professionals Association. We create products for your organization that can be repurposed for other grant applications, used as copy on your website, a crowdfunding campaign, fundraising event solicitation letters, social media posts and more.
