What We Do

Comprehensive Grant Proposal Support Across the Funding Journey

Choose focused support for one proposal component or use the same structured workflow across the full application package.

Funding Opportunity & Donor Fit

Review the opportunity against your programme concept, eligibility, thematic priorities, geography, beneficiary focus and application requirements.

RFP / RFA Requirement Mapping

Convert the donor guidance into a practical requirement matrix covering mandatory questions, criteria, attachments, limits and proposal dependencies.

Concept Note & Case for Support

Shape the problem statement, target group, intervention logic, relevance, differentiation and concise funding case before the full proposal is developed.

Proposal Narrative Development

Draft or strengthen the core narrative so objectives, activities, delivery model, partnerships, evidence, risks and sustainability read as one coherent plan.

Theory of Change & Logframe

Organise the results chain from problem and assumptions to activities, outputs, outcomes and intended impact, using the donor format when supplied.

MEL & Results Framework

Structure indicators, means of verification, monitoring responsibilities and results language so measurement supports the programme logic.

Budget Narrative Alignment

Link budget assumptions and major cost categories to planned activities and delivery logic using the figures and donor rules supplied by the client.

Compliance & Final Proposal QA

Check completeness, cross-section consistency, terminology, attachments, stated limits and donor instructions before the application is finalised.

Frequently Asked Questions

Grant & Donor Proposal Writing FAQs

Practical answers about scope, donor calls, concept notes, proposal drafting, programme logic, budgets, review and responsible expectations.

What is included in the Grant & Donor Proposal Writing Service?

The service can support the proposal journey from donor-requirement review and concept framing through narrative development, results logic, workplan alignment, budget narrative, compliance checks and final editorial quality review. The exact scope should be agreed from the funder guidelines and the materials you provide.

Can you work from a donor RFP, RFA or call for proposals?

Yes. A donor call, RFP, RFA, application form or guidance note can be used as the primary requirements source. The proposal can then be structured around eligibility, evaluation criteria, mandatory sections, attachments, word limits and other stated submission requirements.

Can you help with concept notes as well as full proposals?

Yes. Support can be adapted to an early concept note, expression of interest, letter of intent or a full grant proposal, depending on the donor process and the material already available.

Do you develop a Theory of Change or logical framework?

Where the donor requires it, the proposal can include support for a Theory of Change, results chain, logical framework or results framework. These elements should be built from the programme logic, intended beneficiaries, activities, outputs, outcomes, indicators and assumptions supplied or validated by the client.

Can the proposal include monitoring and evaluation indicators?

Yes. The proposal can incorporate measurable indicators and monitoring logic when these are required by the donor. Indicators should remain realistic, attributable to the proposed intervention and consistent with the programme design and available evidence.

Do you prepare the project budget?

The service can help organise a budget narrative and align the written proposal with the budget categories and assumptions supplied by the client. Final financial figures, cost eligibility and accounting treatment should be confirmed by the client and checked against the donor rules.

What information should I provide before proposal writing begins?

Useful inputs include the donor guidelines, deadline, organisation profile, problem statement, target geography and beneficiaries, programme concept, implementation approach, partner information, evidence or baseline data, indicative budget and any previous proposals or reports that provide relevant context.

Can you improve an existing draft instead of writing from the beginning?

Yes. An existing draft can be reviewed for donor alignment, structure, clarity, evidence use, results logic, consistency, persuasiveness and completeness. The level of rewriting should be agreed after the draft and donor requirements are reviewed.

Can you guarantee that a grant will be awarded?

No. Funding decisions are controlled by the donor and depend on eligibility, competition, programme fit, evidence, budget, organisational capacity and the donor’s evaluation process. Proposal support can strengthen clarity, alignment and completeness, but it cannot guarantee an award.

Can you support consortium or partnership proposals?

Yes, where the necessary inputs are available. The proposal can be organised to reflect partner roles, implementation responsibilities, governance, workstreams, contribution logic and shared results while keeping the overall narrative consistent.

Can you work with confidential or unpublished programme information?

Sensitive programme information should be shared only through the designated service process and only to the extent needed for the agreed scope. Clients should avoid sending unnecessary personal or restricted information and should follow their own confidentiality and donor requirements.

How do I request a quote for a grant or donor proposal?

Use the enquiry form on this page and share the donor opportunity, deadline, proposal type, current stage, approximate length if known, and the support you need. This allows the request to be assessed against the actual submission requirements.
