Tell me about the grant.

Writing for a nonprofit or a business? Pick which below and I'll ask for the right things. I'll send back a full proposal preview in 3 to 7 days, free to read — you only pay (from $600, by the size of the grant) if you decide it's worth submitting.

01 — About your nonprofit

Who you are

Who you are and the change you exist to make.

The community or people your work reaches.

Most funders require this on the application.

Who leads it and why they're credible — funders fund people.

Real numbers and wins. This is what proves you can deliver.

Your company and what it makes or offers.

Many business grants are sector-specific.

Who runs it and why they're credible.

Real numbers — revenue, customers, growth, awards.

02 — About you

So I can reach you

03 — The funder

Who you're applying to

Big federal / large-foundation grants take far more work. Not sure? Pick standard — I'll confirm the tier when I see the grant, before you ever pay.

Which grant, and when it's due. Not sure which yet? Tell me that. (Business e.g.: SBIR Phase I, a state economic-development grant.)

The organization giving the grant, if different from the program above.

What this funder says they care about. Matching their language is the #1 thing that wins grants — paste it if you have it.

Anything the funder requires or won't fund (geography, org type, what they won't pay for).

04 — Your project

What you'd do with the funding

What you'd do with the money, specifically.

What's different in the world if this works?

The concrete steps, in order if you can.

The numbers or outcomes you'll track. Funders love measurable results.

05 — Budget & sustainability

The numbers behind it

The full cost, even if you're only asking this funder for part of it.

Rough line items — salaries, equipment, supplies, etc.

Funders want to know the impact lasts beyond their money.

06 — Anything else

Helpful, not required

Paste the program's priorities or requirements if you have them — it lets me tailor the whole proposal.

Ready when you are.

Send your details straight to me — I'll reply with a full preview in 3 to 7 days.
