From Funding Uncertainty to Confident Impact

Common Questions About Your Grant Journey Q: Can we pay you from the grant funds once we're awarded? A: No, we maintain ethical standards by not accepting payment from grant awards or working on commission. This approach violates the Grant Professionals Association's code of conduct and can jeopardize funder relationships. Grant funds must be used exactly as outlined in your proposal - which rarely includes grant writer fees. Instead, we offer clear, upfront pricing that reflects our professional expertise and commitment to your success. Think of our fees as an investment in building your organization's long-term funding capacity. Q: How soon can we start applying for grants? A: Every organization's timeline is different, but our proven process typically moves from assessment to first submission within 4-6 weeks. We'll help you build the right foundation first, so when you do apply, you're positioned for success. Q: What makes your approach different? A: Unlike traditional grant writers, we focus on building your entire grant success system. We don't just write proposals - we assess your readiness, identify perfect-fit opportunities, and provide ongoing strategic support. Think of us as your grant success partner, not just a service provider. Q: Do you guarantee grant success? A: While no one can guarantee grant awards, we guarantee our proven process will position you for maximum success. We only pursue opportunities that align with your mission and goals, and we ensure every application meets the highest standards of grant writing excellence. Q: What if we're new to grants? A: Perfect! Many of our clients are just starting their grant journey. Our Quick Start Package is specifically designed to help new organizations understand their grant potential and build a strong foundation. We guide you through every step, ensuring you're never overwhelmed. Q: How much time will we need to invest in the process? A: We handle the heavy lifting of grant writing and research, but we'll need about 2-3 hours of your time initially to understand your organization deeply. After that, time commitment varies by service level, but we're experts at making the process efficient for busy nonprofit leaders. Q: What size organizations do you work with? A: We specialize in helping small nonprofits with annual budgets under $100K. We understand the unique challenges of running a small organization and have tailored our services specifically for your needs. Q: How do we know if we're ready for grants? A: That's exactly what our Capacity Compass assessment helps determine. We'll evaluate your organization's grant readiness and provide a clear roadmap of what you need to succeed - whether you're ready now or need to build some foundational elements first. Q: What types of grants do you pursue? A: We focus on foundation grants that align with your mission and capacity. We help you avoid grant opportunities that aren't a good fit, saving you time and increasing your success rate.
