In regards to the following popular grant programs our Client feedback continually indicates that we are the lowest fixed fee service provider nationally with our fees being based on time and effort, not large unnecessary ‘commissions’. Further, we often work with Clients who may have already done some work in preparation for their grant applications, which further reduces our efforts and costs.

Importantly, the non-competitive grants that you can apply for are a ‘fait accompli’, i.e. you get the grant, whereas the competitive grant is generally exactly that, a lot of very clever commercial Government experience and writing skills are needed in creative abundance.

Overall Grant Services

There are 100’s of grants available nationally on any given day of the week, some closing, some opening and some making announcements of change. To minimise the confusion, complexity and stress in regards to sorting through these national grants we provide Clients the following service options depending on where they are at:

  1. Tailored Grant Research Report that is a compilation of thoroughly researched and available grant programs from our national data base of Federal Government, State Government and Philanthropic grants. If you are unsure of which grants are applicable to you, we can pull together a comprehensive Tailored Grant Research Report of ALL grants currently available to you from our database, which would take you weeks to months to compile. Given all the grant programs can change at any moment, this report is invaluable in that it provides a current snap shot of what grants may have expired recently, are currently still available, what are coming up soon or come around again in the future. Typically we identify 6 to 20 grants of varying funding amounts, generally in the tens of thousands of dollars each!Why wait, you could be able to access thousands of dollars, so call or email us below now to get your Tailored Grant Research Report within 5 business days for $450 $363.

  2. Liaising service on behalf of you with grant providers to independently and professionally ascertain their level of interest with your particular unique story and what their current ‘internal’ mandates are, which is often different to what they promote. Why spend enormous amounts of energy in applying for a grant program if the grant provider isn’t interested ? Make sure first !We have found over the many years of dealing with grant providers that they often have marketing material that can communicate uncertainty with possible grant applicants. This miscommunication often renders a well intended grant application to the bin, in fact that’s where most go. To avoid what is typically a huge effort by grant applicants in writing and obtaining supporting documents going to the bin, we provide a smart upfront service where we contact the grant program manager and discuss the merits of what you want to apply for to seek their thoughts and guidance knowing that the grant provider often changes their internal approval process and mandate. This process gleans direction and often confirmation that a potential grant application is or isn’t on the right track before many man days having been exhausted.If you are unsure and would like some assistance talking to the grant provider, then why wait, you could be able to access thousands of dollars, so call or email us below now to get us to represent your story, we can normally do this within 3 business days for $450 $299.

  4. Assistance in implementing and managing grant funds for dedicated projects.

Reasons to Choose Us

  • We’ve been successfully setting up, managing, applying for and administering hundreds of Government and Philanthropic grant applications since 1989;
  • We areconsultative and work collaboratively with Clients;
  • We are very successful with ‘competitive grant’ applications because we use a ‘screening’ process (Refer point 2 above), which is basically a process ‘before we apply’ for a grant whereby we spend time with a grant program’s Coordinator and or Executive Committee to ascertain a level of ‘fit’ that our Client’s application might have to their ‘internal mandate’ to not waste everyone’s time if it doesn’t;
  • We work with Clients needs and budgets, for example, if Clients provide most of the material, then our efforts are reduced and so are our fees;
  • Applications are only submitted post approval by Client, i.e. our Client always has the ‘final say’ and ‘signs off’ on all work that we assist them with;
  • We don’t disguise our fees into a grant’s scope of works budget, like many commission based grant writers do to cover their large fee, particularly as grant programs don’t cover writer’s fees !
  • Unlike large consulting firms, our fees aren’t 10% to 20% of the amount of grant funds sort, as we believe the funds are yours to use;
  • We manage approximately 530+ grants programs nationally per year, so we are specialists in a very broad range of grant programs, not just one or two;
  • We are also trained by all the larger grant providers as specialist grant writers, so we know what grant programs want in their application and we are also acutely aware of how they operate internally once they receive a grant application, that is, how they process their Formalities Check and how their Review Committee operates.

Our Client feedback indicates that we are the lowest fixed fee service provider nationally with our fees being based on time and effort, not large unnecessary ‘commissions’. Further, we often work with Clients who may have already done some work in preparation for their grant applications, which further reduces our efforts and costs.

In light of the above, please let me know if you have any queries or require any further information, otherwise why not get your fare share of the grants funds out there that you can tap into !
