Grant Writing✍️
From letters of interest to full proposals and ongoing funder relations, Safe Passage offers comprehensive grant writing services tailored to your organization’s needs. Whether you need start-to-finish development or a professional review of your own draft, I ensure every submission is strategic, compelling, and aligned with funder priorities. I also help refine essential attachments, offer guidance on budgets, and manage follow-up communications to build lasting relationships with funders. My goal is to make the entire process seamless—so you can stay focused on your mission while I help secure the support it deserves.
-
Many funders request an initial snapshot of your organization or program to assess alignment with their mission before extending an invitation for a full proposal. I craft compelling, strategically tailored letters that highlight your program’s strengths and seamlessly connect them to the funder’s priorities.
-
From development to submission, I handle the entire grant process, ensuring proposals are meticulously crafted and professionally delivered—whether digitally or through polished, mailed packages. I also manage supplementary materials requested by funders, guaranteeing a comprehensive and high-quality submission. Additionally, I facilitate direct communication with grantmakers, securing clarifications and insights to strengthen applications.
-
For organizations that prefer to write their own proposals or Letters of Interest, I offer professional review and editing services to refine messaging, improve clarity, and align content with funder expectations. My consulting ensures that your proposal stands out, meets all funder criteria, and maximizes its impact.
-
Essential attachments such as board lists, key staff profiles, and organizational accolades are often required. I assist in compiling and refining these materials, ensuring they align with best practices and funder expectations. While budgeting is typically managed internally, I can offer basic guidance to ensure financial materials support a compelling proposal.
-
I engage with prospective and current funders to optimize submission strategies, recommend funding request amounts, and track deadlines. After submission, I foster ongoing funder relationships through cultivation emails, phone calls, and stewardship efforts. I also organize and archive key communications, grant applications, letters of inquiry, and funder correspondence to maintain a clear, accessible record for your organization.
Prospect Research🔎
Let me do all the digging and detective work to put together the pieces for strong funder matches! If you’re seeking targeted funding opportunities rather than full proposal development, I offer comprehensive research services using an industry-leading grant database. I curate a highly detailed, tailored spreadsheet outlining:
Potential funding opportunities aligned with your programs
Key contacts and application guidelines to streamline your process
Submission due dates and required documents to keep you timely and organized
Additionally, I create grant calendars tailored to your programs — helping you get proposals in early and stay on track with reporting, so you never miss a deadline.
