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 has provided detailed and constructive feedback on grants that I write. I especially like the tips and tricks about how to write for reviewers. I feel so much better about my grant narratives now!

We really appreciate the concrete suggestions. Your points are very well taken, and we agree that we need to take another, different run at this.

I am a strong writer who nonetheless needed some help polishing grant proposals. Laura's feedback has been terrific. She offers useful, targeted comments that have strengthened our organization's proposals and my own understanding of what grantors want. Laura's feedback consists not only of constructive criticism but also of positive reinforcement; when she sees something she likes, she'll tell you! That's wonderful news for writers who may need encouragement. The constructive criticism is always useful and is always accompanied by a reason. In this way, Laura helps her clients learn to write stronger proposals next time, and the next time, and the next time.

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.
