Grant Proposal Critique Review

Make your good proposal even better.

Laura's objective proposal review will give you a fresh perspective.

Her words of advice will help you take your grant writing to a new level.

Does your proposal read well for your target audience?

Laura is a former program officer. That means she knows what funders are looking for when they read proposals. She also knows what they don't want to see. And that can make the difference between a proposal that's funded or not funded.

When Laura reviews your grant proposal, she's looking for several things:

typos, spelling, grammar, punctuation
general readability
overall clarity, consistency, tone and flow
jargon or concepts that may not be familiar outside your organization
adherence to the funder's formatting recommendations or requirements

Your proposal critique will include the following:

a summary of your proposal's strengths and weaknesses
suggestions for improvement
recommendations for revisions
helpful hints that will help you make every proposal you write better

Yes, I want Laura to critique my next grant proposal!

What nonprofits say...

Laura helped us with our organizational voice, message, and delivery. She provided insight and rationale on specific grant edits and gave our team wonderful coaching and writing tools.

I just got a $22,400 grant ...I can't thank you enough for how you've helped me with finally getting some success with foundation funding.

Laura has been great about providing outstanding editing helping us submit top-notch grants to foundations and corporations. She is super quick on editing turnaround which has been so helpful, especially when we have faced some tight deadlines. Laura is an educated and talented resource for our organization.

We recently received a grant award for $18,000. Thanks again for your help in reviewing our proposal and making suggestions. You are part of the reason for our success!
