In addition, our experts and editors also often help create the following documents at the beginning of the process to fuel winning applications.
Opportunity Summaries for Clients
Early in the process, we create concise summaries of funding opportunities to help clients quickly understand whether an opportunity might be a good fit. In graphical, easy-to-read formats, we summarize timelines, funding, eligibility requirements, restrictions, funder priorities, and other need-to-know information with the decision to apply.
Concept Papers for Funding Agencies
This short document—usually under ten pages—gets feedback from a possible funding agency about whether applying for a particular grant is advisable. Although success at this stage does not guarantee funding, it is an early vetting that can save time and money, regardless of the outcome.
