Edit-only pass
We mark up your draft against the funder’s rubric and return tracked changes. Best for asks under about $5,000.
Five deliverables, one flat fee each. From a $385 letter of inquiry to a $2,260 reusable proposal library. Half to start, half on submission.
Fees are fixed before drafting starts. Scope is written from the funder’s guidelines, so the number on the call is the number on the invoice.
A two-page pitch written to the funder’s own prompt. It earns an invitation to apply, so it is built to be scored, not admired.
Turnaround: 6 business days from intake.
Narrative, budget, budget justification and logic model, drafted to the rubric and sized to the portal’s character limits.
Turnaround: 17 business days from intake.
One fit memo ranks the field; we draft the top three. Shared sections are written once and adapted per rubric, which is where the saving comes from.
Timeline: one quarter, staggered to your funders’ cycles.
Twelve core sections written, character-counted and indexed, so the next application starts from filed text instead of a blank page.
Turnaround: 20 business days.
We mark up your draft against the funder’s rubric and return tracked changes. Best for asks under about $5,000.
One page ranking 3–5 funders by median award, geography, eligible budget and deadline. Write the application yourself.
Deadline under 10 days. The edit window compresses; the funder research does not.
Rework beyond the one consolidated edit round is $95 per hour, quoted before it starts.
Check the row you need. A blank cell means it is not in that scope.

Half at intake, half on submission. Check, ACH or card. Nothing is ever billed as a percentage of an award.
You do, from your own portal login. We deliver portal-ready text and a final PDF, and stay on the phone while you paste it in.
Award reporting, site visits and funder relationship calls. Ask and we’ll quote them separately.
None on funding. The commitment is a fitted, reconciled file delivered on the date we set at intake.
Under about $5,000 we steer you to the $385 LOI or the $240 edit pass, because the full fee would outweigh the ask.
Start with the $175 fit memo, or the LOI if the funder requires one. Many funders invite a full application only after an LOI.
Yes, before the outline sign-off. We credit work done against the new scope and reissue the quote in writing.
Yes. Federal, state and national foundation portals all follow the same spec logic. Call and we’ll read the guidelines with you.
