Grant & proposal writing · Madison, WI
How much funding slips away while your proposal sits half‑written?
You carry the mission. We do the heavy lifting — researching the right opportunities, drafting your federal and foundation proposals, and building budgets that pass compliance the first time. One submission package, start to send.
Who's in your corner
A small bench that reads your funder before you write a word
Dana Ellsworth
Spends the first hour on your theory of change, not the template. Pulls the through-line a reviewer is scoring for, then writes to it.
Marcus Vale
Tracks Grants.gov, agency forecasts and foundation cycles so you chase the awards you can actually win — not the long shots.
Priya Anand
Builds line-item and multi-year budgets, indirect cost rates, and justifications that survive a program officer's review.
Joel Reyes
Reads every page against the funder's exact criteria and page limits — so nothing gets cut at the screening desk.
In their words
The week before a deadline shouldn't feel like a sprint alone
They took a tangle of program notes and turned it into a clean federal narrative. We submitted two days early — first time that's ever happened.
Renee · nonprofit directorThe budget justification alone was worth it. Our program officer had zero follow-up questions, which never used to be the case.
Tomás · research leadDirect, fast, and honest about which opportunities to skip. I trust them to tell me when an application isn't worth our time.
