The better question is, “What do we not do?!”

This depends on a few factors. A single private grant versus a full funding campaign are very different price points. To get an idea of the cost of grant writing we recommend you identify the following on your project.

  1. What do you plan to accomplish?
  2. How much support do you need?
  3. Is your organization grant ready?

If you are unsure about the specifics of your project, download our grant readiness checklist and feel free to book a free consultation with one of our experts.

The short answer is, no. However, an organization’s chance of securing funding is based on many factors and Sunflower is committed to helping organizations identify and secure sustainable funding to further their mission.

While we cannot guarantee that a grant will be awarded, we often find that Sunflower can help organizations leverage their impact and relationships within their community- which often opens the doors to not only grants, but to private donors and other fundraising opportunities.

There are some key indicators of grant readiness our team uses to evaluate an organization’s grant readiness. Some of these things include relationships within the community, financial records and budgets, and impact and evaluation data.
