Finding the right funders
Opportunity research and matching, so you stop chasing grants your organization was never eligible for and start applying where you have a real shot.
A&P Grant Writing LLC / Palm Desert, California
Funding your mission.Building your legacy.
We research, write, and submit grants for nonprofits and mission driven organizations. You keep control of your story. We handle the narrative, the budget, the attachments, and the deadline.
What we do
Grant writing that reads like your organization wrote it, only tighter.
Most nonprofits do not have a funding problem. They have a translation problem. The work is real, the outcomes are real, and the story never quite makes it onto the page in the shape a program officer needs to see.
That translation is the job. We interview your staff, pull the numbers that matter, match you to funders who actually give to organizations like yours, and build a proposal that answers the questions a reviewer is scoring you on.
Full proposal development
Narrative, need statement, program design, evaluation plan, budget and budget narrative, attachments, and the portal submission itself.
A funding calendar you can run
A rolling plan of deadlines, renewals, and reporting dates so next year does not start from zero again.
Deliverable
What you actually receive.
A finished, submission ready proposal package. Not an outline, not a draft to fix yourself.

Why A&P
One clear rate, published
$110 per hour. No packages, no retainers you cannot get out of, no percentage of the award. You get an estimate before work starts and you approve it.
Local, and current
We are in Palm Desert, we write for desert nonprofits now, and we know which funders pay attention to this region.
Deadlines are the product
A brilliant proposal submitted late is a rejected proposal. We work backward from the funder's clock and tell you exactly what we need from you and when.
Honest about outcomes
Nobody can guarantee an award, and anyone who does is selling something. We can guarantee a complete, competitive, on time submission.
Next step
Tell us what you need funded.
The intake form takes about ten minutes. We read every submission ourselves and reply within one business day with next steps and an honest estimate.
