Services
PROJECT PLANNING
As much as we wished projects were always grant ready, they almost all need a little extra love to be as competitive as possible. We will guide you on what to prioritize that will have the biggest impact on grant applications.
GRANT RESEARCH
We do the heavy lifting to find the best grants for your needs so that you can spend time doing what you do best. We will filter through 200+ grants to find the best pursuits worth your precious time and resources.
GRANT WRITING
Now for the easy part! Kidding! But, grant writing truly is much easier once we complete the two previous steps. We follow modern project management so that your proposals go in early and have the best chance of winning!
