Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – Bioresearch Mangement Grant Writing Services

1. What types of grants do you write?
I specialize in a wide range of grants, including those for nonprofits, small businesses, education, community development, health initiatives, and the arts. My goal is to align your project with the right funding sources—whether that’s federal, state, local, or private foundations.

2. How much do your grant writing services cost?
Pricing depends on the scope of work and the complexity of the grant. Some clients prefer a flat project rate, while others prefer hourly or retainer-based arrangements. After a brief consultation to learn about your needs, I’ll provide a transparent quote and clear breakdown of services.

3. Do you guarantee that I’ll get the grant?
No ethical grant writer can guarantee funding, as awards depend on many factors beyond our control—such as funder priorities, competition, and available budgets. What I can guarantee is a professionally researched, well-written, and strategically aligned proposal that maximizes your chances of success.

4. What information do you need from me to get started?
I’ll need details about your organization, your project goals, budget, and past funding history (if applicable). I also review your mission, outcomes, and community impact to ensure we’re presenting a compelling and funder-aligned case. During our kickoff meeting, I’ll guide you through a checklist of what’s needed.

5. How long does it take to write a grant proposal?
Timelines vary by grant type. Short foundation proposals can take 1–2 weeks, while complex federal applications may require 4–8 weeks or more. I’ll provide a project timeline during our initial consultation and keep you informed of milestones throughout the process.

6. Can you help me find grants to apply for?
Absolutely! Grant research is one of my core services. I’ll identify and vet opportunities that match your mission, goals, and eligibility criteria. I can also create a customized funding calendar so you can plan strategically for upcoming deadlines.

7. What makes your grant writing services different?
I combine strategic research, storytelling, and data-driven writing to help your proposal stand out. Beyond just writing, I focus on helping you build strong, fundable programs and long-term funding strategies — not just one-time submissions.

8. Can you help with reports or post-award requirements?
Yes! I offer post-award support including outcome reporting, progress updates, and compliance documentation. Maintaining good relationships with funders is just as important as winning the grant itself.

9. Do you work with new or smaller organizations?
Definitely. I love helping emerging nonprofits and small businesses take their first steps in the grant world. I can also assist with setting up essential elements like mission statements, budgets, and foundational materials to strengthen your future proposals.

10. What’s the process for working with you?

1. Free Consultation: We’ll discuss your goals, funding needs, and current readiness.

2. Proposal & Agreement: I’ll send a tailored service plan and quote.

3. Research & Writing: I’ll develop and refine your grant materials.

4. Review & Submission: You approve the final version, and we prepare for submission.

5. Follow-Up Support: I assist with reporting, funder communications, or next steps.

11. Can you review or edit a grant I’ve already written?
Yes! I offer proposal review and editing services. I’ll assess clarity, alignment with funder priorities, and competitiveness, then provide detailed feedback or revisions to strengthen your proposal before submission.

12. Do you work with clients outside my area?
Yes. I work with clients nationwide (and sometimes internationally) through virtual consultations and secure document sharing. No matter where you’re located, we can collaborate seamlessly.

13. What if I don’t know where to start with grants?
No problem — that’s what I’m here for. I can help you determine if grants are the right funding path, build your organizational readiness, and create a roadmap so you can confidently pursue funding opportunities.
