Strategic Grant Writing for State and Federal Funding
We partner with credit unions, CDFIs, municipalities and mission-driven organizations pursuing state, federal, or institutional grants – typically $250,000 or more.
We help high impact organizations pursue transformational funding. Profound Hope Industries is a strategic grant writing partner, bringing expertise and capacity to your project. Using our proprietary TIME framework, Profound Hope Industries provides support to position your organization to secure competitive state and federal grants. Our services are best suited for organizations pursuing large-scale public or institutional funding.
If you are seeking support for small grants, local fundraising, or ongoing grant writing for awards under $250,000 we probably are not the right fit for you. However, we can refer you to another resource if you reach out.
Our strategic grant writing services are tailored to mission-based businesses, non-profits, credit unions, community development corporations, and CDFIs, helping you maximize your chance of winning significant awards.
Common Barriers to Securing Large Scale Grants
Even the most high caliber organizations face barriers to pursuing significant awards. However, the right opportunity can help you take your work to its full potential.
Time Shortage
Organizations often struggle to allocate enough time to the grant writing process due to their focus on mission-critical activities, leading to rushed or last-minute applications.
Limited Capacity
Organizations with limited staff and resources lack the necessary personnel to dedicate to the extensive process of researching, writing, and submitting grant applications.
Lacking Expertise
Organizations may not possess the specific knowledge and skills in-house to craft a compelling grant proposal, making it challenging to communicate needs and impact effectively to funders.
Unpredictable Cycles
The variability in grant availability and application deadlines can make it difficult for organizations to plan their fundraising activities and maintain steady funding streams.
Why Our Clients Come to Us
Our clients come to us looking for someone to set their application apart. They may know how to write for complex federal or municipal grants but realize it is time-consuming. Other clients feel they need support with writing or with strategy, and some are first time award winners who need help with the whole entire process. In any care, our clients prefer to focus on their mission of doing good work instead of writing grant applications.
Profound Hope Industries knows how much work an extensive grant application can be. We have decades of experience in community development grant writing, having won millions of dollars in grant funding. Profound Hope Industries has streamlined the grant application process with Sarah Hope Marshall’s proven TIME method. We act as a trusted federal grant consultant to help mission-based organizations and CDFIs win more government grants without overextending their capacity.
Are you unsure whether your organization is ready for grant funding yet? Profound Hope Industries also supports strategy and program development for mission-driven organizations and mid-to-large companies so they can expand capacity while building targeted initiatives.
Profound Hope Industries’ 3-Step Grant Writing Process
We work with you to build a strategy and develop a strong, well written application that reflects well on your organization.
1. Match YOUR story to the opportunity
Our job is to help you identify and fix gaps so your proposal will stand out.
2. Align assets and metrics with funder priorities
Together, we collect the internal documents and success stories to build a compliant and complete application.
3. Craft a unique, competitive application
Every narrative is unique – no copy-and-pasted or AI generated applications from us. We simply don’t take shortcuts.
Many organizations seek to retain a grant writer AFTER the funder opens the application – sometimes leaving them scrambling to find the right support. Why risk this anxiety? We work with you in advance of the application to build a smooth process, ensuring your application is high quality and thoughtful. You will have a stronger grant and better experience if you avoid the scramble and choose PHI’s Grant Writing Services. Let’s write a proposal that WINS – not just one that gets submitted in time.
