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.

This has been a wonderful process to go through with you! You provided a lot of help and insight! I've learned a ton and am very excited about this grant! I've reviewed your comments and edits and feel SOOO much better about this!

Laura provided very detailed, constructive help and support that was timely and within the schedule she committed to. Her guidance not only helped create a polished application, but we learned techniques and tips so that our next application will go much smoother, so it was an excellent learning experience. We will definitely work with Laura again in the future.

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!
