Ellen Fosse, Managing Director & Consultant at Open Doors to Future Possibilities, Inc.

Nichole is excellent to work with! As a small nonprofit that provides information and resources to Seniors, Caregivers and Professionals regardless of income level, RI Elder info sometimes finds it challenging to find funding that fits. Nichole was able to locate grants that were not well known that fund in the areas that RI Elder Info works in. She was able to identify functions that RI Elder Info could restructure to create stronger grant proposals that could potentially be funded in the future. Her professional insight was invaluable and she was excellent to work with! I highly recommend her!

Deb Burton, MS RI Elder Info

FAQs for Working with a Grant Consulting Firm

1. What does a grant consultant do?


A grant consultant partners with organizations to identify funding opportunities, develop grant strategies, write compelling proposals, and manage the grant application process (and post-award responsibilities, if needed). They provide expertise in navigating complex grant requirements, ensuring your applications are competitive and aligned with funder priorities.

2. How does the process of working with a grant consultant begin?


It all starts with an initial consultation to understand your organization’s needs, funding goals, and overall grant readiness. From there, we create a customized plan outlining timelines, roles, and deliverables to ensure we’re aligned and set up for success.

3. What types of grants can you help with?


We assist with a variety of grants, including:

  • Federal, state, and local government grants
  • Private foundation grants
  • Corporate funding opportunities

Whether it’s large-scale federal applications or smaller community grants, we tailor our approach to fit your needs

4. How long does it take to complete a grant application?


The timeline depends on the complexity of the grant.

  • Smaller grants may take a few weeks to complete.
  • Larger federal or multi-partner grants can take months.

During the planning phase, we provide a detailed timeline to keep the process transparent and manageable.

5. What role does my organization play in the grant writing process?


Grant writing is a collaborative effort. While we handle most of the writing, strategy, and research, your organization plays a critical role in:

  • Providing program details, data, and supporting documents
  • Engaging key stakeholders and partners
  • Ensuring the proposal reflects your mission, goals, and impact

At the start of the project, we’ll define clear roles and responsibilities to ensure smooth collaboration. This shared approach leads to stronger, more competitive applications.

6. How are fees structured for grant consulting services?


Our fee structure is flexible to accommodate different needs and budgets. Options include:

  • Project-based pricing – Ideal for one-time large, complex grants
  • Monthly retainers – For ongoing grant writing support and development
  • Fractional fundraising services – To supplement your existing development team

During the initial consultation, we’ll identify the best approach for your organization.

7. What if my organization is new to grants?
If your organization is just starting with grants or doesn't have a formal grant program, we offer capacity-building services through the Grant Pathway Program.

This program includes:

  • Grant readiness assessments
  • Training and workshops
  • Development of long-term grant funding strategies

The goal is to build your internal capacity so you’re prepared for future funding opportunities.

8. What kind of results can we expect?


While no grant consultant can guarantee funding, working with an experienced professional significantly increases your chances of success. I focus on developing high-quality, competitive proposals that align with funder priorities and clearly communicate your impact.

9. How do we get started?


Getting started is easy! Reach out to schedule an initial consultation. From there, we’ll assess your needs and create a strategic plan to pursue funding opportunities that align with your mission.

Let’s take the next step toward securing the resources you need to grow your impact!
