Grant Proposal Review & Critique

If you prepared a grant proposal, we can help your organization improve its chances of winning.

We will review and edit any proposal prepared by your organization for clarity, grammar, completeness, and match with the priorities of the grantmaker before you submit your application. And, we will review any proposal that did not receive funding to determine its strengths and weaknesses to help you prepare an effective proposal to submit in the future.

This highly sought-out service provides you with a section-by-section, paragraph-by-paragraph verbal and/or written critique of the areas that need improvement. If you choose, we can edit the document or you can use the critique to do so yourself.
