How It Works

Funding applications are a team effort. You know your school/group and I know what funders need in an application. Using Google docs, together we create an application that packs a punch!

I help you compile a concise funding application that is on point and includes all information funders request. I don’t come in and do the application for you. This is your application and you are accountable for the funds you receive.

My expertise:

7 years experience in compiling great applications
Knowing which funder to apply to and when to apply
Having a range of supplier contacts
Understanding the difference between a need and a want
Strong ability to think outside the box to source solutions
Accurate with a high level of attention to detail

What I need from you:

A designated person to work with
A commitment of about 10 hours over 4-6 weeks

The funders that you are eligible to apply to is determined by your location and the community you serve.
