When it comes to grant writing, the biggest mystery is often the cost. You’re ready to go after funding, but you’re left wondering: How much does professional grant writing actually cost? Why doesn’t anyone post prices? Will I get a quote, or just an invoice later?
Pricing can feel like a black box. That’s why we do things differently. We believe transparency builds trust. And in the world of grants, trust is everything.
Every grant application is different, and so is the work behind it. A short, $10K community foundation grant might take just a few hours to prepare, while a six-figure infrastructure or capital grant might require in-depth financial planning, collaborative input, and several pages of supporting documentation we need to complete for the client.
Our grant writing services reflect the unique scope of each project. We look at:
In short: We don’t guess. We scope. And we quote with precision.
We offer two core services: grant research and grant writing, with flexible options to fit your needs and budget.
$97/hour for focused, strategic research to uncover the best fit funding opportunities for your organization.
8 hours of tailored research + detailed spreadsheet of funding matches organized by due date + a 2-page summary report. It is ideal for organizations looking for a broad scan of available opportunities.
Ideal for clients who haven’t had grant research done in 9+ months or who are seeking funding for a specific program. This package includes 3 hours of focused grant research, a curated spreadsheet of funding matches, and a summary of key findings. It’s a streamlined version of our full research service—perfect for a quick scan of new opportunities or a targeted refresh.
Whether you’re just starting or scaling up, this research helps you find the right-fit grants, so you stop wasting time chasing the wrong ones.
Our grant writing service is designed to strengthen your funding chances by crafting applications that stand out for all the right reasons. We focus on funder alignment, strategic storytelling, and highlighting the heart of your work—your mission, programs, and impact. And yes, it’s all done by experts who care deeply about your mission.

We don’t believe in surprises, and we don’t believe in commissions either.
Instead of charging based on the size of the grant (which is considered unethical), we base our pricing on the time and effort required to do the work properly.
That means:
This quote reflects the real work it will take to help you succeed: nothing more, nothing less.
That’s why we assess every grant individually, so you only pay for what you actually need.
We’re often asked: Do you take a percentage of the grant if it’s successful?
The short answer is: no—and that’s by design.
We follow ethical best practices, which means we charge for the work we do, not the outcome. This protects you, protects us, and protects the integrity of your grant application.
Charging commissions for grant writing is considered unethical because it ties payment to the outcome, which is beyond the grant writer’s control and can compromise the integrity of the funding process. Most funders expect their dollars to support the organization’s mission—not to increase payments to
consultants.
If you’d like to hear more about why we take this approach, we explain it further in this short video. You can also read the AFP Code of Ethics here for a deeper dive into the standards we follow.
There’s no stress and no guessing involved: just expert support at a fair price. You can send us your grant opportunity, and we will provide you with a tailored quote. Alternatively, you can book a free consultation to explore your funding options. If you prefer to start on your own, you can visit our resources page for helpful downloads and links.
Funding your mission isn’t just a checkbox; it’s the start of something bigger. We’re here to make sure your story gets told, your impact gets funded, and your vision becomes real.
