The One Stop Grant Shop ensures your organization is indeed Grant Ready. We research funding opportunities, walk you through applications, collaborate on writing applications, organize meetings with funders and provide education on the entire grant cycle. Together we work to reduce barriers to accessing funding to help grow impact. Proud member of the Grant Professionals Association which ensures work delivered is ethical and has your best interests front and centre.Rates:
Standard rate is $125/hour. Non profit rates are extended and range from $75-$100/hour depending on client needs and operating budget. All prices are subject to HST. There is also a Pay What You Can Model depending on need.
Pay it Forward Program - Up to 4 pro bono grant writing clients are accepted a year. These clients are typically smaller Black, African Nova Scotian. Indigenous and 2SLGBTQI+ organizations who are focused on making a large impact yet traditionally lack the resources to begin or maintain a grants program. This program is made possible thanks to the generosity of clients who pay the full standard rate for services.
Stronger Together Model - Up to 3 organizations can combine and cost share hourly professional fees. This is best used for grant research, grant application review sessions, grant workshops and coaching sessions.
CBDC CAS program - If your organization is located outside of the Halifax Regional Municipality, my services could qualify for a Consultancy Advisory Grant from CBDC to pay 70% or up to $5,000 of fees.Non Profit Experience
