What's included, start to finish
A fixed scope you can plan around: intake, pipeline, draft, revision, delivered. No hourly billing, no open-ended retainer.
Kickoff intake
A structured questionnaire covering your mission, programs, budget, and geography — the profile the entire engagement is built on.
Curated grant pipeline
10–15 verified-open grants matched to your organization, each with a written fit rationale, a deadline calendar, and funder how-to-apply intel.
One full application draft
A submission-ready first draft for the opportunity you pick — or an LOI plus the full application when the funder runs a two-stage process.
One revision round
You mark up the draft, we incorporate your edits and program details, and return the revised version.
Delivered in 7–10 business days
Counted from your completed kickoff intake. You review, approve, and submit — you stay the author of record.
Need a different scope?
Additional applications from your pipeline are $1,500 each — same drafting scope, same revision round. A standalone LOI / concept-note sprint is $1,250; federal or complex applications are custom-scoped from $5,500.
One-time pricing — no subscription required. The GrantSonar Solo and Team plans are sold separately if you want the software for ongoing discovery.
What this usually costs elsewhere
Freelance grant writers typically charge $1,500–$5,000 per federal application — prospect research billed separately — and the good ones book out weeks ahead. This engagement bundles the researched pipeline and the application draft at $1,950 flat for our 10 founding slots — pricing resets permanently to $2,450 when they fill — delivered in 7–10 business days.
We're a new service and we won't pretend otherwise: no testimonial wall, no invented win rates. What we have is the engine — and a fixed scope we commit to in writing.
The engine behind the pipeline
Sourced from public IRS Form 990 / 990-PF filings (verified 2026-07-21), alongside live federal and state opportunity feeds — every grant in your pipeline is verified open before it's delivered.
Grant writing service FAQ
What does the $1,950 GrantSonar grant-writing engagement include?
The $1,950 GrantSonar engagement — one of 10 founding slots while we tune our pipeline; pricing resets permanently to $2,450 when they fill — includes a kickoff intake, a curated pipeline of 10–15 verified-open grants with a written fit rationale for each, a deadline calendar with funder how-to-apply intel, one full application draft (or an LOI plus full application for two-stage funders), one revision round, and 90 days of GrantSonar Team access — delivered in 7–10 business days.
How much do additional grant application drafts cost?
Additional applications are $1,500 each after the first. Each one covers the same drafting scope: a submission-ready draft for an opportunity from your pipeline, plus one revision round.
Do you offer smaller or larger engagements?
Yes. A standalone LOI / concept-note sprint is $1,250 — the same intake and funder research, scoped to a letter of intent or concept note. Federal or otherwise complex applications are custom-scoped, starting at $5,500.
Do I need a GrantSonar subscription to use the grant-writing service?
No. The grant-writing service is one-time pricing with no subscription required, and every engagement includes 90 days of GrantSonar Team access. The GrantSonar Solo and Team software plans are sold separately — many clients use the service for a deadline push and the software for ongoing discovery, but neither requires the other.
Who actually writes the grant application draft?
The GrantSonar engine handles discovery, fit analysis, funder research, and first-pass drafting; a human reviews and edits every deliverable before it reaches you. You remain the final author — you review, approve, and submit the application yourself.
How does the grant-writing service compare to hiring a freelance grant writer?
Freelance grant writers typically charge $1,500–$5,000 per federal application and often book out weeks ahead. The GrantSonar engagement is $1,950 flat at the founding rate ($2,450 standard once the 10 founding slots fill) and includes the researched pipeline of 10–15 verified-open grants alongside the application draft, delivered in 7–10 business days.
Do you charge a percentage of awarded funds?
No — never. Fixed-fee only: $1,950 founding / $2,450 standard for the pipeline-plus-draft engagement, $1,250 for an LOI or concept-note sprint, $1,500 per additional application, and federal or complex applications custom-scoped from $5,500. GrantSonar never charges a percentage of awarded funds or a contingency fee.
What is the fit-screen guarantee?
If your organization doesn’t pass our readiness screen, we decline the engagement and refund 100%. We only take engagements where the pipeline and draft have a real shot.
What is the compliance guarantee?
If your application is rejected at the funder’s administrative or technical screening due to an error in our deliverable, we redraft an equal-scope application free.
Does the grant-writing service guarantee my organization wins funding?
No — and no honest grant writer can guarantee an award. What GrantSonar guarantees is the deliverables: a verified-open, fit-rationaled pipeline, a submission-ready draft, and one revision round, on the stated timeline.
