Project-Based Grant Writing
Flexible support for specific funding opportunities.
Project-based grant writing is ideal for organizations that need assistance with a limited number of grant proposals, time-sensitive opportunities, or temporary capacity gaps. Our team manages the proposal development process from planning through submission, allowing your staff to remain focused on mission delivery while maintaining ownership of funder relationships.
Annual Grant Writing Partnerships
A strategic partner for long-term funding success
Annual partnerships are designed for organizations that rely on grants as a significant source of revenue. We become an extension of your team, managing proposal development, submission schedules, ongoing planning, and grant strategy throughout the year. This approach creates consistency, strengthens funding pipelines, and supports sustainable growth over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between project-based and annual grant writing services?
Project-based grant writing is designed for organizations that need support with a limited number of grant proposals or specific funding opportunities. Annual grant writing partnerships provide ongoing support throughout the year and are ideal for organizations seeking a long-term, strategic approach to grant funding.
Do I need the Grant Seeking System to purchase grant writing services?
No. Organizations may engage IN Fundraising for project-based grant writing services without purchasing the Grant Seeking System.
Why is the Grant Seeking System required for annual grant writing partnerships?
Annual partnerships are designed to support a sustainable grant funding program. The Grant Seeking System provides the strategic messaging, funding research, submission schedule, templates, and grant management infrastructure needed to support long-term grant seeking success. Because these foundational components are completed as part of the engagement, annual clients benefit from preferred grant writing rates.
How involved will our team need to be?
We strive to make the process as efficient as possible. Your team will provide organizational information, review proposal drafts, approve submissions, and participate in scheduled planning meetings. The level of involvement varies based on the complexity of the proposal and the availability of existing materials.
What types of grants do you write?
We specialize in foundation, corporate, and philanthropic grant opportunities, including private foundations, family foundations, community foundations, and corporate giving programs. We may also support select government funding opportunities when the application requirements are comparable in size, complexity, and scope to a traditional foundation grant.
Do you guarantee grant funding?
No. Grant funding decisions are ultimately made by the funder and are influenced by many factors beyond the quality of the proposal, including funding priorities, available resources, geographic focus, applicant competition, organizational fit, and changing philanthropic interests.
While we cannot guarantee funding outcomes, we can help position your organization for success through strategic planning, compelling proposals, strong supporting materials, and a disciplined approach to grant seeking.
Do you submit grants on our behalf?
Yes. We manage the proposal development process and support submission through your organization’s grant portals and application systems. All grant proposals are submitted in your organization’s name and require your review, approval, and authorization prior to submission.
Your organization retains ownership of all funder relationships, application accounts, and submitted proposals. While we support proposal development and submission, your organization is responsible for stewarding relationships with funders, responding to funder inquiries, and maintaining ongoing communication before and after grant awards.
What happens after a grant is awarded?
We can assist with required grant reports and post-award reporting obligations as part of an ongoing engagement. Organizations are responsible for program implementation, financial management, and stewardship activities.
