Question 1

Who is Grants Secured Consulting for?

Accepted Answer

Grant consulting is best suited for nonprofits, schools, and mission-driven organizations that have a clear program model, basic financial systems in place, and the capacity to manage awarded funds.

Question 2

Who is not a good fit for grant consulting?

Accepted Answer

Organizations that are newly formed, lack programming history, or are seeking emergency funding without foundational infrastructure may not be grant-ready. In these cases, we recommend capacity-building support such as our Funding Strategy before pursuing grants.

Question 3

What can I expect from a consulting call?

Accepted Answer

During your consulting call, we will take a strategic deep dive into your organization’s current funding structure, strengths, and needs. With a clear understanding of your organization’s position, we will develop a tailored funding strategy designed to move you forward efficiently and effectively. This step is highly recommended to ensure your time and resources are invested in the most impactful next steps.

Question 4

Can we pay for grant writing services through the attaniment of a grant?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, no. Most grant applications require a significant upfront investment of time—often up to 150 hours—before any funding decision is made. While we are committed to delivering highly competitive, high-quality grant applications, funding is never guaranteed. For this reason, grant funds cannot be used as a pay structure for grant writing services, as the work must be completed prior to any award being issued.

Question 5

Do you work with startups or new non-profits?

Accepted Answer

Yes, selectively. New organizations must demonstrate strong leadership, fiscal sponsorship (if applicable), and a clearly defined program plan to be considered grant-ready.
