Our Process
Every successful grant application begins with informed decisions about which opportunities to pursue and how to position your organization. At Professional Grant Writers, our work can extend beyond individual proposals to include funding strategy, grant prospect research, pipeline and calendar management, and post-award reporting. Whether you need support with one application or an ongoing grants program, we tailor our approach to your organization’s goals and capacity.
For clients seeking help with a specific application, our process typically includes the following steps:
If we do work together to write a grant, here’s our process:
Assess
We first look over your existing grant materials as well as the application you’re planning to submit. From this, we determine a price estimate for the project.
Research
Once the contract with price estimate is signed, we work to fill any gaps in the existing grant materials with additional research. This might include collecting data on the client population, the intervention, and more.
Write
Working closely with your team or a designated point of contact, we write the grant application to fit the funder’s requirements.
Review
Again working closely with your team or a designated point of contact, we review and finalize the grant, making sure its information is accurate and current.
Submit
We can help with the submission process, though often we encourage clients to submit grants themselves so that they are the final point in the chain of submission.
