    Want to boost your odds even more?

    Consider adding a little firepower:

    • Power Prospectus – $750

      Your mission, but make it funder-ready. This 1–2 page summary turns your big picture into a clear, compelling pitch funders can say yes to.

    • Funder Outreach – $500

      I’ll send warm, personalized emails to 5 of your best-fit funders — and follow up once. Save time, open doors, and start strong.

  • Per Proposal Grant Writing

    Got a specific grant in mind but need help getting it done? Let me give you a hand. I’ll craft a funder-aligned proposal that tells your story clearly, meets all the requirements, and gives your application the best possible shot.

    Starting at $750 per project.

    What You Get:

    • A professionally written, funder-ready proposal

    • Attachment and budget coordination to make sure everything lines up

    • Two rounds of edits

    • Final delivery in whatever format the funder needs (Word, PDF, or portal entry)

    Pricing depends on a few factors — lots of attachments? Tons of narrative questions? First time putting it all on paper? I’ll send you a custom quote before we start.

    Just need a second set of eyes on something you’ve already written? Check out my Red Pen Reviews for more details.

  • Grant Template & Language Library

    Writing grants doesn’t have to mean reinventing the wheel every time. This toolkit gives you a set of editable templates that sound like you and help you move faster when it’s time to hit “submit.”

    What You Get:

    • Organization Info Template: Mission, vision, background, and needs statement — all in one place

    • Budget Template: Clean and simple, with space for revenue, expenses, and a basic narrative.

    • Grant Narrative Cheat Sheet: Quick, ready-to-use blurbs for LOIs, emails, and full proposals — including 1-, 3-, and 5-paragraph versions of your program description

    Delivered in Google Docs (or your preferred format), and 100% editable by your team.

  • Grant Review & Editing

    Whether you’re prepping to submit or trying to figure out why your last grant didn’t land, this service gives you expert, funder-minded feedback that helps you tighten things up and improve your odds.

    Haven’t submitted yet?

    I’ll review your draft like a funder would and give you clear, strategic notes on what’s working — and what needs a quick fix.

    $500 for up to 6 pages of review.

    What You Get:

    • In-document comments on clarity, alignment, and tone

    • Light copyedits for flow and formatting

    • A summary email with your top 3 improvement areas

    Great if you wrote the draft yourself and want a second set of eyes before you click submit.

    Already applied and got rejected?

    Let’s figure out what went wrong — and how to do better next time.

    Starting at $1,000.

    What You Get:

    • A full review of up to 5 submitted proposals

    • A detailed written report with notes on alignment, clarity, structure, and red flags

    • Annotated comments to show you exactly what fell flat

    • Optional 30-minute follow-up call (+$150)

    Ideal for orgs that want to improve their grant game without bringing on a full-time writer.

Testamonials


“Carolyne did not disappoint.”

I subcontracted two funding strategy projects to Carolyne for a few reasons. From our first conversation, I could tell she was knowledgeable, thoughtful, and someone I could learn from. She also shared that she genuinely enjoys grant research - something I prefer to delegate so I can focus on writing. It felt like a great fit.

Carolyne did not disappoint. She delivered thorough, well-organized research and presented each opportunity clearly and professionally. She understood the details of each grant and how it aligned with my clients’ needs. Carolyne is now at the top of my list for subcontracting grant research and other projects, depending on her interest and availability.
