About Grant Writing Service
Certified grant professionals who write to win
Funded proposals, written by certified grant professionals. We help nonprofits, small businesses, researchers, and public agencies turn good programs into fundable proposals, on a flat fee and without the guesswork.
Our story
Grant Writing Service began with a simple frustration: too many strong programs lose funding not because the work is weak, but because the proposal is. A missed eligibility line, a vague needs statement, a budget that does not match the narrative, and a fundable idea ends up in the reject pile.
We assembled a team of credentialed grant professionals across the disciplines that matter most: foundation and nonprofit fundraising, federal and government compliance, and research funding through programs like SBIR and STTR. Every proposal we write is matched to a writer who knows that funder and that field.
We work on a flat fee because your incentives and ours should point the same direction. You should know the price before the work starts, and you should never pay a percentage of money meant for your mission.
What we stand for
Flat fee, never commission
Charging a percentage of a grant creates a conflict of interest and violates the Grant Professionals Association code of ethics. We quote a fixed price up front, every time.
Honest about outcomes
No one can guarantee a grant award. We can guarantee a clear, compliant, well-argued proposal that gives your project its best possible chance.
Funder-first writing
We read the guidelines, the scoring rubric, and the priorities of the specific funder, then write to what reviewers actually score.
Built to make you grant-ready
We leave you stronger than we found you, with reusable language, a tighter logic model, and a clearer case for support.

Marisa Calderón, GPC
Lead Grant Strategist
Marisa has spent most of her career helping community organizations turn messy program ideas into fundable proposals. A Grant Professional Certified (GPC) strategist, she is happiest when she is untangling a needs statement or building a logic model that finally makes a reviewer nod along. She writes the way she coaches clients: plainly, and with the scoring rubric never far from mind.

Daniel Rourke, MPA
Federal & Government Grants Specialist
Daniel came up through the public sector and holds a Master of Public Administration, so federal paperwork holds few surprises for him anymore. He knows the Grants.gov workbench, the quirks of the SF-424 family, and the parts of 2 CFR 200 that quietly sink applications. His goal with every piece he writes is to spare applicants the avoidable mistakes that cost them a deadline.

Dr. Priya Nair, PhD
Research & SBIR/STTR Grants Expert
Priya is a PhD scientist who crossed over from the lab bench to the grant side and never looked back. She writes and critiques SBIR and STTR proposals for NIH, NSF, and Department of Defense programs, and she has a particular soft spot for a Specific Aims page that earns its first paragraph. She is candid about commercialization, because reviewers can tell when a plan is wishful thinking.

Allison Brandt, CFRE
Nonprofit Development Expert
Allison is a Certified Fund Raising Executive (CFRE) who has sat on both sides of the table, as a development director chasing budgets and as the person reviewing the asks. She helps nonprofits get genuinely grant-ready before they ever draft a letter of inquiry, because a strong program is easier to fund than a strong sentence. Most of her advice circles back to one question: can you sustain this after the grant runs out?

- Letters of inquiry
