For many nonprofits and small businesses, grant funding often involves strategic benefits that go beyond the funding itself, and success can mean the difference between growth and stagnation. But developing competitive proposals requires time, research, and strong storytelling — resources many organizations don’t have in-house.

The Starter Package is designed for organizations new to grant seeking or building their funding pipeline. It provides both the strategic foundation and hands-on support to successfully submit a first proposal.
