⏰ Attention Nonprofits and Higher Ed Research Offices!


⏳ The countdown is on…

Are you ready to jumpstart your 2026 funding strategy?

If getting organized for grant season has been sitting on your to-do list, now is the moment to move.

To set you up for success, we’re opening a limited number of discounted Strategy Client spots* for organizations looking to get ahead before the new year. This exclusive, year-long partnership includes:

✨ In-depth grant research and a customized funding roadmap tailored to your mission

📝 Ongoing grant writing support to strengthen proposals and maintain momentum all year

Whether you’re a growing nonprofit or part of a university research office, this is your chance to refine your strategy, secure more funding, and expand your impact in 2026.

Book a discovery call to learn more about early-bird pricing—available for a short time only.

Let’s make 2026 your most well-funded and impactful year yet.
