Grant writing & consulting for Atlanta nonprofits.

Atlanta freelancers typically quote $35 to $150 per hour, which makes the total impossible to predict. Our prices are public and fixed instead: full Grant Management plans run $3,000 to $6,500 per month depending on your funding goal, Grant Matching is $299 per month, and newer organizations can start with the flat $1,500 Grant Sprint. If the Sprint doesn't secure any funding, you get a full refund.

Yes, and we already do. Both of our Atlanta results were won without a single in-person meeting. Grant work happens in shared documents, on video calls, and inside funder portals, so where we sit matters far less than knowing the funders and doing the writing well. We're based in Columbus, Ohio, and work with organizations nationwide.

More than in most cities its size. The Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta, the Woodruff Foundation, the Blank Family Foundation, and the Zeist Foundation anchor the private side. Fulton County Arts & Culture and the City of Atlanta's Office of Cultural Affairs fund arts and community work. State agencies add workforce, health, and human-services streams. Which ones fit you depends on your programs and budget, and mapping that is what the free strategy call is for.

Only if the numbers work. A grant writer earns their fee when the funding secured is a multiple of what you paid, which is why we publish our pricing and our success rate, and why the Sprint carries a refund guarantee. If we don't think grants are the right move for you yet, we'll say so on the call.

That's exactly who the Grant Sprint is for. Our Atlanta cultural arts client won its first events grant through a Sprint, inside the 60 to 90 day window. Most of our clients have budgets between $100K and $5M and limited or no development staff.

You can draft with it, and so do plenty of applicants, which is the problem: reviewers now read stacks of proposals that sound the same. Funding decisions come down to the fit between your program and the funder's priorities, your data, and your budget narrative. We use no AI in the writing: every application is handcrafted by our human funding experts, because the story is one only you can tell.

Yes, though far fewer grants exist for businesses than for nonprofits, and most foundations only fund 501(c)(3) organizations. Business grants usually come from federal programs, economic development agencies, and corporate initiatives with specific eligibility rules. Our Atlanta client ACHI Garments, a clothing company built on a purposeful-purchases model, won a $30K SBA grant after we matched its social-impact model to the right opportunity and managed the application end to end.

Most foundation and state grants take 3 to 9 months from submission to award, and many Atlanta funders run on annual or twice-yearly cycles, so a missed deadline can mean waiting months for the next one. That's why we build a funding calendar first. Newer organizations on the Grant Sprint typically see first award notices in 60 to 90 days, which is how our Atlanta cultural arts client won its events grant.

Yes. State government grants are included in our Expansion plan, and the Enterprise plan includes two federal applications a year with agencies such as SAMHSA, HHS, DOJ, and AmeriCorps. A federal application can also be added to any plan for $12,500, with 8 to 12 weeks of lead time. Public grants carry heavier reporting, so we only recommend them when your finances and systems can support the award.

Yes. We work with organizations across Metro Atlanta and the rest of Georgia, and with nonprofits nationwide. Location does change which funders fit: the Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta serves a 23-county region, the Woodruff Foundation funds Georgia organizations, and city-run programs generally require you to be based or serving inside the city limits. Sorting out which doors are open to you is part of the free strategy call.
