“Matios and Michael at Simply Solutions were super helpful to bounce ideas off of. Our initial meeting went so well that I decided to book their services right away and they secured a grant for my foundation within 90 days.”
Josh Amponsah · Google review
“Working with Simply Solutions was an absolute breeze, making what usually feels like an overwhelming process simple and straightforward. Before partnering with them, we were spinning our wheels and missing out on funding, but their expertise helped us lock in a major grant that has completely expanded our capacity. They truly invest themselves in your mission rather than just drafting paperwork. I highly recommend them to any organization looking to secure funding and grow!”

Marketing, video & photo

Funding is half the story. The other half is telling it.

Our creative arm produces the video, photo, and social content behind our clients’ fundraising campaigns. Every organization’s story is different, so every engagement is custom: we scope it together on a call and confirm the fee in writing before we begin.

Event & documentary video

On-site event coverage and documentary-style storytelling that turns one day into a year of proof for funders and followers.

Photography

Featured package

Website + SEO Package

Custom engagement

Most nonprofit websites are online brochures: people only find them if they already know your name. This package turns yours into a way new supporters find you.

Ads rent attention: the moment you stop paying, the visitors stop coming. Ranking on Google is the opposite. We build it once, and the right people keep finding you month after month, without an ad budget.

  • A modern, fast website custom-built around your mission, not a template
  • A search strategy mapping exactly what your donors, partners, and community type into Google
  • Pages written and built to rank at the top of those searches, organically
  • From a single campaign page to a full site with ranking pages, scoped and priced to your organization on a call
  • Ask about the package

Pricing questions

Answered directly.

Is there a long-term contract?

Grant Management plans run 6 to 12 months, billed monthly, with a 6-month minimum engagement. That minimum gives award letters time to arrive, since funders can take several months to process the applications we submit, and funder relationships built in month 2 often pay off in month 9. The Grant Sprint has no contract beyond the 60–90 day engagement.

Do you only offer monthly engagements?

No. We also offer custom engagements, because we know every nonprofit is unique. On the strategy call we'll map your funding goals and tell you honestly whether a monthly plan, the Grant Sprint, or a custom scope fits best.

What happens to everything if I cancel?

You keep 100% of all funding secured during your engagement. The Funding CRM, funding calendar, and any materials we built are yours permanently. We don't claw back deliverables.

Are payment plans available?

Plan fees are billed monthly on a set date, and the Sprint fee of $1,500 is due at signing. We don't offer deferred payment on any plan. Monthly billing is already designed to be the lowest possible barrier to getting started.

Can I combine a plan with marketing services?

Yes. Social media, content production, website design, SEO, and documentary production can be added alongside any plan. We scope the marketing engagement separately and confirm all fees in writing before we begin.

How do I choose the right grant writing plan?

Start with your annual funding goal and the size of grants you can realistically compete for. Foundation fits goals up to $150K with grants around $2.5K–25K, Growth up to $350K, Expansion up to $750K with state grants, and Enterprise $1.5M+ with federal applications. If you're unsure, we'll recommend a plan on the free strategy call.

Which plans include grant reporting?

Growth, Expansion, and Enterprise include grant reporting for every award we win together. The Foundation plan does not include reporting, and Grant Matching is research only. If you're on Foundation and win a grant that needs reporting, you can add it for $1,000 per grant.

What add-ons are available?

Three: a federal grant application for $12,500, which needs 8–12 weeks of lead time; grant reporting for $1,000 per grant; and a professional review of an application you wrote yourself for $250. Add-ons work alongside any plan, and every fee is confirmed in writing before we start.

Can I change plans later?

Your funding needs will likely change as your organization grows, and we'll talk about it when they do. If a different plan or a custom scope makes more sense for your goals, we'll discuss it openly and confirm any changes in writing before anything takes effect.

Do you offer refunds?

The Grant Sprint comes with a full refund if no funding is secured. Grant Management plans are ongoing monthly engagements, and every fee and term is confirmed in writing before we begin, so you know exactly what you're paying for from day one.

Find the plan that fits, on a free call.

20–30 minutes on your funding landscape. We’ll tell you honestly which plan fits, or if the Sprint is the right way in, before you pay anything.
