What happens after we sign up?

We begin by building a private knowledge library for your organization. We gather past applications, program information, outcomes, financial documents, and other materials our team will need. Your specialist then starts with an initial “Trailblazer” grant, which helps us learn your organization deeply before building a more repeatable grant-writing process.

How quickly will the first grant be completed?

The first draft is typically completed within two weeks. In most cases, it will be approximately 80–90% complete before it reaches you for review, with only organization-specific details or information gaps left to address.

How geographically focused are grantmakers?

It depends on the funder. Rather than making assumptions based on a foundation’s address, we research its giving history and geographic patterns to understand where it has actually awarded funding.
