Grant Writing Services
Grant writing services for nonprofits
Turn your mission into a fundable story. YES! researches opportunities, prepares your organization and writes applications that follow every funder instruction.
From opportunity to submission
A strong grant application does three things. It matches what the funder wants to support, it explains your work clearly, and it follows every instruction. YES! helps with each step so your team isn’t writing a proposal at midnight the day before the deadline.
Grant research
We identify foundations, corporate programs and government opportunities whose priorities, geography and eligibility fit your organization. More about grant research.
Grant readiness
Before writing starts, we check that the documents funders commonly ask for are current and consistent. See grant readiness.
Proposal development
We draft the narrative sections: need statement, program description, goals and outcomes, evaluation plan, organizational background and sustainability.
Budget narrative support
Your budget and your story should say the same thing. We help explain each line so reviewers understand how funds will be used.
Application review
Already have a draft? We review it against the funder’s guidelines for completeness, clarity, word limits and required attachments.
Submission support
Online portals, registrations, attachments and formatting. We help you get everything submitted correctly and on time.
Grant reporting support
After an award, funders expect progress and financial reports. We help you track what’s due and write reports that keep the relationship strong.
What we need from you
You know your programs and your community best. We ask for access to your key documents, a point person on your team and time to review drafts. We handle the organizing, writing and deadline tracking.
YES! never guarantees that a client will receive funding. Awards are decided by funders. We guarantee careful work and honest advice.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Can you guarantee we will get the grant?
No. Funding decisions are made by each funder, and no ethical grant professional can guarantee an award. We focus on finding good-fit opportunities and preparing the strongest application possible.
Do you write federal, state, county and foundation grants?
YES! helps with applications from many kinds of funders. During a consultation we look at the specific opportunity and requirements and tell you honestly whether it is a good fit.
How far ahead should we contact you before a deadline?
As early as possible. Several weeks gives time for research, gathering documents, drafting and review. If your deadline is close, reach out anyway and we will tell you what is realistic.
Do you charge a percentage of the grant award?
No. Professional grant writing ethics discourage commission-based fees, and many funders do not allow grant funds to pay for them. Pricing is discussed during your consultation.
