Research & fit
We build a pipeline of funders that actually match your mission, budget size, and track record, and tell you honestly which ones aren't worth your time.
Anyone can fill out an application. We find the right opportunities, build the narrative and the budget so they agree with each other, submit on time, and stay through the reporting. Over $7 million secured for nonprofits across federal, state, county, and foundation funders.
How it works
Grant writing fails at the edges: the wrong opportunity, a budget that contradicts the narrative, or a report nobody planned for. We work the whole cycle so none of those edges cut you.
We build a pipeline of funders that actually match your mission, budget size, and track record, and tell you honestly which ones aren't worth your time.
We shape your story into the funder's language and build a line-item budget that agrees with it. Reviewers notice when the two don't match. So do auditors.
Portals, attachments, letters of support, deadlines in three time zones. We manage the mechanics so nothing bounces on a technicality.
Winning is half the job. We set up the tracking, invoicing, and documentation so your reports are on time and your backup survives a funder audit.
What we write
From a two-page foundation LOI to a federal application with a forty-tab workbook, we've written it, submitted it, and reported on it.
USDA, HUD, and other federal programs: SAM.gov registration, Grants.gov submission, and budgets built to 2 CFR 200 so your award survives the paperwork.
California state agencies and Los Angeles County departments: RFPs, competitive bids, and government contracts, with the local relationships to navigate them.
LOIs and full proposals for private foundations and corporate giving programs, researched through 990s and past grantee data so the ask fits the funder.
Line-item budgets, budget narratives, and match documentation that reconcile with your books, because reviewers check and funders verify.
Progress reports, reimbursement invoices, and drawdowns for grants you've already won, including cleanup when reporting has fallen behind.
The documents funders ask for before you can compete: board lists, budgets, financial policies, and the compliance calendar that keeps deadlines off your desk.
Who this is for
Our grant clients are nonprofits and purpose-driven businesses, most of them in Los Angeles and Southern California, that have real programs and real outcomes but not the time or in-house capacity to compete for funding.
Because we also work as fractional C.O.O.s, we write grants your operations can actually deliver on. We won't chase an award that would break your team to fulfill.
