How can I help with your grant-seeking efforts?
Grant writing.
Grantmakers want to make a positive difference in the world, so your funding application must convince them that your project will amplify their impact.
Your proposal must be a logical, compelling case for support.
But it’s easy to feel intimidated by the thought of writing a grant application with its detailed guidelines and selection criteria.
I also know that time is often in short supply when you’re a solo founder or managing a non-profit organisation, so let me help.
Here’s a guide to the kinds of applications I support:
Short proposals
Concise, focused applications up to 10 pages.
Ideal for smaller grants, concept notes, or early-stage funding calls.
Full proposals
More detailed submissions (10–20 pages) that require supporting materials, such as work plans and organisational backgrounds.
Multi-section proposals
Large, in-depth applications (20+ pages) with detailed narratives, budgets, and extra documentation.
Editing.
A grant application is a valuable opportunity to make a great first impression. A well-written and error-free proposal can help build your credibility with funders.
However, grant evaluators may disqualify your application if you don’t meet their guidelines or miss something important.
I can review your application in detail, checking every section against the funder’s guidelines.
I will also ensure your writing style is consistent throughout, avoids complicated language, and makes a compelling case for why your idea should be funded.
If you already have a draft grant application and want to strengthen clarity, structure, and storytelling, I offer two levels of editing support:
Light review
A broad look at your draft to spot gaps, unclear answers, and opportunities to strengthen your case. I’ll also correct obvious errors and make structural suggestions.
Detailed copy edit
A deeper, line-by-line review to ensure everything reads clearly, flows well, and tells a compelling story that aligns with the funder. I’ll also fix any issues with wording, grammar or structure.
Grant research.
It takes time to research best-fit funding opportunities. Grantmakers also fall into different categories, so knowing where to start can seem overwhelming.
I can help you find the opportunities that make sense for your project and mission.
Who’s it for:
Social impact founders, community leaders, and purpose-driven teams.
Individuals looking to secure funding for their projects.
What’s included:
A hand-picked list of 10–20 funders that fit your work.
A short, easy-to-read report highlighting eligibility, fit, and priority for each funder.
Key upcoming deadlines to plan your next steps.
Work with me.
If you would like to hire me to write or edit a grant application or search for best-fit funding opportunities, email me.
We’ll talk, so I can better understand exactly what you need.
If I’m not the best person for the job, I will be honest and recommend someone I believe is better suited.
If I can help, we’ll discuss the details and put a plan in place.

If you hire me to write or edit your grant application, please don’t ask me to accept payment only if the grant is successful.
I don’t work on a no-win, no-fee basis.

I typically work on a project-by-project basis, but I’m also happy to support clients on an ongoing retainer if you’re seeking regular grant support.
Even if you’re interested in a long-term engagement, we’ll start with a ‘discovery project’ (usually a single grant or review) to ensure we’re a good fit before moving to ongoing work.
