Targeted donor research, strategic concept notes, and full proposal packages for community organizations and growing nonprofits.
A small nonprofit rarely loses funding because the work is weak. It loses because nobody has three uninterrupted days to find out which foundations fund this exact thing, which ones accept unsolicited requests, what each one asks for, and when their window closes. That research sits below programme delivery on every list, so it never happens.
That's the part I do. You keep running the programme; I bring back the funders who are actually a match, in the order worth approaching them, with what each one requires.
| Piece of work | What it contains |
|---|---|
| Donor map | Foundations and programmes that fund your specific theme and country, each with the amount range, the deadline or rolling status, whether unsolicited requests are accepted, and the reason it matches you — plus the ones I checked and rejected, with why. |
| Concept note | The two-page version funders ask for before a full application, written from your own answers rather than a template. |
| Letter of inquiry | The short approach letter, addressed to a named person at a named programme. |
| Full application | Written to the funder's own form and word limits, with the budget built line by line and checked against their rules. |

What you do, where, who it serves, and roughly what a year of it costs. A few paragraphs by email is enough to start.
Funders matched to your theme, country and size — with amounts, deadlines and requirements, and the rejected ones listed too.
Concept note, letter of inquiry or full application, in the funder's own format. You review every line before anything goes out.

In accordance with federal Uniform Guidance (2 CFR 200) and the Grant Professionals Association (GPA) Code of Ethics, all work is conducted under fixed fees or contracted hourly rates — never commission or percentage-based contingency fees.
A few paragraphs about the work, and I'll come back with who funds it.
