The price list

Every line has a number next to it.

Fees are fixed, quoted in writing after a 20-minute call, and charged once. If your project is oddly shaped, that call is where we say so.

Reserve the strategy session

what's in the box

  • Twelve funders vetted against mission, geography and budget size
  • A twelve-month calendar of deadlines
  • Two letters of inquiry, drafted
  • A 90-minute working session with your staff or board

Which one is yours?

Four situations, four starting points.

You've never applied to this funder

start with a letter

Most foundations want a short inquiry before a full ask. At $640, it's the cheapest way to find out if the door opens.

They've invited you to apply

full proposal, plus a budget

The invitation is the hard part. Pair the $2,380 proposal with the $415 narrative so the numbers and the story shake hands.

The draft exists, and it's tired

edit & polish

You did the thinking. We handle the commas, the cuts and the places a reviewer will squint.

You need a pipeline

funding strategy

Twelve funders and a calendar beat one lucky guess.

On every job

The fine print is short. Here it is.

fee in writingYou see one number before we start. It doesn't wander.
your boilerplate fileMission, history and outcomes, filed neatly for the next application.
a same-day answerTell us a rush deadline and we say yes or no that day.
an honest noIf a funder isn't worth the effort, we'll say so before any invoice.

Fee questions

Money talk, out loud.

The things people ask right before they ask for a quote.

Why fixed fees instead of hourly?

Because you shouldn't have to wonder what a phone call costs. A fixed fee means we're motivated to be efficient and you can plan your budget around one number.

When do we pay?

You're invoiced once per proposal or package, after you approve the quote. Check, ACH transfer or card.

Can we combine services?

Yes. A full proposal with a budget narrative is the most common pairing. We'll total it in one written quote.

Do you guarantee funding?

No. We guarantee a proposal that answers the funder's actual question, on time, with a budget that agrees with the story.

What if my project doesn't fit any of these?

Tell us on the 20-minute call. We'll quote it fixed or tell you it isn't our kind of job.

Ready when you are

Tell us the funder. We'll send back a number.

Call during the week or write any time. We reply within one business day. Mon–Fri 10am–5pm, evenings by appointment.
