Have you been writing grants for so long that your narratives feel “stale”? Do you need to upgrade equipment or professional development? Do you need help writing advocacy papers so as to leverage state funding from your legislators? Do you need help targeting new, appropriate funders?

Private and corporate foundations are likely your target funders. Depending on your specific area of focus, you may also be eligible for federal grants, as well.

We help individual faculty members, artists, and other individuals write their grant proposals. Every grant narrative tells a story: what you want to do, why you want to do it, and how you will do it. The content of the story you are trying to tell matters as much as how you tell your story.

No matter the discipline, we will write or review your proposal using the appropriate grant language.
