Stop applying for grants you won't win.

Sample

From this week's brief

Public space improvement grant · up to $200,000

Apply if you've run permitted outdoor events in the neighborhood.

The deadline on the city's listing is wrong. The real one is a month later.

Street outreach grant · up to $250,000

Skip unless you already run outreach. You need five years of documented history, and the groups running it now will likely win again.

Clear advice on every grant

We tell you whether to apply, and why.

Deadlines we've checked

Every date comes from the funder's own notice.

One flat fee

No retainer. No percentage of your grant.

What we do

Most clients start with a Fit Report and add more from there.

Find

The Funding Brief

A free Monday email with new grants and our advice on whether each one is worth applying for.

Match

The ten grants you're most likely to win, ranked, with eligibility, required documents and due dates for each.

Prepare

Grant-Ready Kit

Most applications ask for the same things. We write your organization history, program descriptions, budget narrative and impact summary once, so you can reuse them.

Apply

Grant Writing

We draft letters of inquiry and full proposals around the funder's scoring criteria. One round of revisions is included.

Need help beyond grants?

We also help with websites, donor and volunteer emails, and the admin work that eats up your week. Tell us what's slowing your team down.

Questions

Who is this for?

Nonprofits that rely on grants but don't have a full-time grants person. If your executive director is also your grant writer, you're who we work with.

We're still waiting on our 501(c)(3). Can you help?

Yes. We'll show you what you can apply for now, often through a fiscal sponsor, and what to have ready when your status comes through.

Can you guarantee we'll win?

No one honestly can. We make sure you apply to grants you have a real shot at, on time, with an application that answers what the funder asks.

Do you use AI?

We use AI tools for parts of our research and drafting. A person reviews and edits everything before it reaches you.
