Know Exactly Where You Stand Before You Pursue Funding
A readiness assessment is the best place to start. Before you go after your next grant, it helps to know how ready your organization really is. At Ready. Set. Fund!, we take an honest look at where you stand today. Then we show you what to strengthen so you can compete for funding with confidence. Grants are only one way to pay for your work. Foundations, government programs, local partnerships, earned income, and individual donors all have expectations of their own. The good news is that most of the preparation is the same.

We help you look at foundations, government programs, local partnerships, earned income, and recurring gifts from individual donors.

We Write With You, So Your Team Gets Stronger Every Time
Yes, we write grants. Many organizations come to us with a deadline in front of them and an opportunity they do not want to miss. We can help with that. What makes our approach different is that we write with you rather than simply for you, so your team gets stronger with every application. We start where you are. If you have never written a grant, we build the first one together. You learn how funders think, what they look for, and how to answer the questions they actually ask. On the next application, we step back a little. Over......
