About Simply Solutions
Simply Solutions is a grant consultancy based in Columbus, Ohio, serving nonprofits nationwide. Two founders, one job: get your mission funded.
Why we exist
Billions in grant funding gets awarded every year, and most of it flows to the organizations with professional development staff. Not because their missions matter more, but because they know the funders, the deadlines, and what a winning application looks like.
We started Simply Solutions to level that field: senior grant expertise, priced so a small nonprofit can afford it, delivered with the discipline of a firm that publishes its results. Today that’s $27M+ secured for 56+ organizations at an 80% success rate.
The founders
Co-founder & CEO
Michael leads strategy, partnerships, and the marketing arm. He built Simply Solutions on a simple frustration: small nonprofits doing important work kept losing funding to organizations that could simply afford better grant writers. He works directly with every client, from the first strategy call to the award notice.
Co-founder & Chief Funding Strategist
Matios leads grant strategy and fulfilment: funder research, application writing, and post-award management. His discipline is the reason for the success rate. He would rather tell a client no than submit an application he doesn't believe can win, and it shows in the renewal numbers.
How we work
Every result we publish traces to a real award notice. If we can't document it, we don't claim it.
Aligned with AFP and GPA ethical standards: no percentage-of-award fees, no surprise invoices. Every fee is confirmed in writing before we begin.
If grants aren't the right move for your organization yet, we say so on the free call. A client who shouldn't have hired us costs everyone more than the truth does.
We manage grants after the award: reporting, compliance, funder relationships. That's why clients renew and funders come back.
The proof
From a $3M/year engagement for a Columbus social services organization to a first $15K award for a newer arts nonprofit, every case on our results page is documented.
