Frequently Asked Questions
- What types of grants do you specialise in?
-
We work across institutional grants (bilateral, multilateral), foundation funding, government innovation funds, and development finance. Our team has experience with USAID, EU Horizon, Gates Foundation, African Development Bank, GIZ, and several national research councils. We do not handle personal scholarships or fellowships.
- How does the success-based fee model work?
-
We agree a percentage of the awarded grant value before we begin — typically between 5% and 12%, depending on grant size and complexity. If the application is unsuccessful, you pay nothing. The percentage is agreed upfront in a simple letter of engagement, with no hidden charges.
- How involved does our team need to be during the process?
-
We keep your team's time commitment minimal. We need a 90-minute scoping call at the start, access to any previous proposals or reports you have, and 2–3 review rounds on the draft. The average time investment from your programme lead is under 8 hours per proposal. Everything else is handled by us.
- Do you work with organisations that have never received a grant before?
-
Yes. Many of our clients are applying for their first institutional grant. We help you establish a credible organisational profile, select first-grant-appropriate funders with lower barriers, and present your work in the language and format funders expect. First-grant success is absolutely achievable with the right preparation.
- What is a realistic timeline from first conversation to submission?
-
For a standard grant application, allow 3–6 weeks from scoping call to submission, longer for complex multi-partner applications or calls with concept note stages. We can work to tighter deadlines (as short as 10 days for rapid-response calls) but we will tell you honestly if a deadline is unrealistic before we commit.
