Transform Grant Opportunities Into Funding Success

Strategic grant consulting for nonprofits, governments, tribal nations, and mission-driven organizations.

Billions in grant funding are available annually. The question isn't cost-it's whether you can afford to pursue competitive grants without expert guidance.

WHY GRANTS MATTER
For Mid-Sized Organizations

You're too large for grassroots fundraising alone, but lack resources for a full grant department. You have proven programs deserving funding, but applications require specialized expertise you don't have in-house.

Grant funding changes this: 
* $20k - $75k+ foundation grants
* $25k - $100k+ community development
* $40k - $150k+ state grants
* $90k - $500k+ federal grants

One successful award justifies your entire investment. With strategic guidance, most organizations secure multiple awards.


Why This Matters
Grant writers create proposals you request.
Consultants analyze your capacity, identify winnable opoprtunities, and build sustainable funding pipelines.

Cost comparison: Full-time grants manager = $65k - $105k/year with benefits. Consultant retainer = $30k - $60k. More expertise for a fraction of the cost.

FAQ

How is a consultant different from a grant writer?
Grant writers draft proposals. Consultants provide strategic guidance across the full grant lifecycle—readiness assessment, opportunity identification, writing, award management, and compliance.

Do you charge commission-based fees?
No. Professional fee-for-service only (project or retainer). Commission models create misaligned incentives and are prohibited by most funders.

What's your success rate?
Success rate is not a good metric as funding depends on a number of variables. However, 30-40% with strategic targeting vs. 20% industry average is the consensus on hiring a grants professional vs. not. We only pursue grants where you're competitively positioned.

How long to secure funding?
Foundation grants: 2-3 months. Federal grants: 6-12 months. Building a sustainable pipeline: 6-12 months of consistent prospecting.

Can you guarantee awards?
No ethical consultant can guarantee awards. I guarantee strategic guidance, professional expertise, and compelling applications that maximize competitiveness.
