FAQ

Common questions

How do the consultations work?

We offer a free 15-minute Discovery Call by phone. Pick a time on the booking page and tell us about your organization.

What happens after I book?

You receive a confirmation email, and we prepare using the details you shared in the form.

Do you work with organizations outside the United States?

Yes. We serve clients in the United States, Africa, Europe and beyond, and Mariam works in English and French.

Do you work with businesses, or only nonprofits?

Both. We support nonprofit organizations and for-profit businesses seeking funding.

Can you guarantee we will win a grant?

No. Funders make the decisions, and no consultant can promise an award. We focus on finding the right fit and preparing strong, well-organized applications.

How are your fees structured?

The Discovery Call is free. Grant support is quoted after we understand your goals, scope, and timeline. Fees are fixed, hourly, or retainer—never a percentage of an award.

How long does a proposal take?

It depends on the funder's deadline and the size of the application. Tell us your deadline early so we can plan.

What should I prepare before we talk?

See the checklist on the booking page and the readiness checklist under Resources.
