My Portfolio
FAQ
Can you help us with the proposal writing and application of the grant?
Yes, I can help you with it, irrespective of whether the grant donor organization is federal, state, local or foundational. I am an expert, and I will help you execute it, from finding prospective grant opportunities to final submission.
How do you know if your grant proposal is successful?
I know that a grant proposal succeeds when it aligns the organization's vision and project goals with the donor's interests, conveys impact through a compelling narrative, and provides evidence of capability to execute the project through qualifications, partnerships, and performance metrics.
How can nonprofits optimize their grant proposals for maximum impact?
By crafting compelling narratives in grant proposals, emphasizing their mission's societal impact. Clearly articulate goals, outcomes, and sustainability measures for an effective application.
Can I use a generic business plan for my grant application?
It is best to tailor your business plan to match grant requirements. Customize it with specifics, showcasing alignment with the grant's purpose. Avoid generic templates for optimal impact.
Q: What types of small business grants do you write for?
Government programs, competitive platforms, and corporate-sponsored grants, including the Delaware EDGE Grant, Hello Alice, The David Prize and state and local business grant schemes. I research your eligibility before writing begins.
Q: What is grant stacking and how does it work?
Grant stacking means combining multiple non-conflicting funders to reach a larger total award. My premium package delivers your main proposal plus a researched map of 3 additional compatible funders, with their eligibility, deadlines, and co-funding rules so you can layer your funding.
Q: Can for-profit businesses qualify for grants?
Yes. Many grants are designed for for-profit small businesses with a growth or social mission, including the Delaware EDGE Grant, Hello Alice, and several state programs. Message me with your sector and I will assess your eligibility at no charge.
Q: Do you write federal small business grant proposals?
Yes. I write for federal programs via Grants.gov, including SBA-adjacent opportunities and agency small business programs. These require precise alignment to program priorities and a clear understanding of how program officers score applications.
Q: What do you need from me to get started?
Your business description and sector, the specific grant or program you are targeting, your target market and the problem you solve, any existing data or pitch decks, your funding amount needed, and your application deadline.
Q: What does post-submission support include?
The Premium package includes 30 days of post-submission support covering funder queries, amendment requests, and minor document revisions. It does not include reporting or compliance monitoring after award. Extensions are available as an add-on.
