Start the clockSmall nonprofits lose awards on mismatch, not on mission: wrong funder, wrong ask, a narrative that ignores the rubric. We fix those three before a sentence gets written.
The fit memo scores each funder on four fields: median award size, geographic restriction, eligible organization budget, and deadline cadence. An application to a funder whose median award is $5,000 never asks for $50,000.
We map the narrative to the funder’s rubric, section by section, so a reviewer holding a score sheet finds each point in the order the sheet lists it. Where the funder publishes no rubric, we build one from the guidelines and the last funded cycle.
Every figure in the narrative is traced to a budget line, and every budget line to a sentence of justification. Personnel percentages, indirect rate and match are reconciled in one pass before the draft leaves our desk.
Each submitted answer (mission, need, outcomes, evaluation) goes into your library with its character count and the funder it went to. The next application starts from filed text, not a blank page.
No. Nobody can, and we never bill as a percentage of an award. You pay a flat fee per submitted application, so our incentive is a clean, well-fitted file, not an inflated ask.
Often not. Under about $5,000 we’ll steer you to the $385 letter of inquiry or the $240 edit-only pass. We’d rather say so on the call than bill you for a mismatch.
You do, from your own portal login. We deliver portal-ready text and a final PDF, and we stay on the phone while you paste it in.
