Our Story

Securing grant funding is not about filling out forms. It is about telling a clear, credible story that aligns mission, data, and outcomes with what funders are actually looking for.

At Pulse Publishing, grant writing is handled with the same level of rigor, strategy, and accountability as any professional fundraising operation. This is not template-based work. It is tailored, research-driven, and grounded in decades of real-world nonprofit experience.

Who This Service Is For

This service is designed for organizations that are serious about funding and sustainability, including:

  • Nonprofit organizations at any stage of growth

  • New nonprofits preparing for their first major grants

  • Established nonprofits seeking larger or multi-year awards

  • Fiscal sponsors supporting multiple programs

  • Organizations tired of submitting grants without results

If your organization has a clear mission, documented need, and the capacity to manage funding responsibly, this service is for you.

What Sets Pulse Publishing Apart

Many grant writers know how to write. Fewer understand nonprofit operations, compliance, budgets, and funder psychology.

Pulse Publishing brings:

  • Over 30 years of nonprofit and funding experience

  • Proven success securing six- and seven-figure funding

  • Deep understanding of program design, budgets, and outcomes

  • Strategic positioning, not just proposal writing

  • Clear communication and realistic expectations

Grants are not treated as a gamble here. They are treated as part of a long-term funding strategy.

Grant writing should lead to real funding, not just well-written documents.

Past work has supported organizations in securing:

  • Local, state, and federal grants

Specific award amounts and funder names can be shared upon request or during consultation, depending on confidentiality agreements.

  • Project-based fees

  • Monthly retainers for active funding cycles

  • Strategic consulting engagements

Pricing reflects the scope, complexity, and level of involvement required. This is professional fundraising support, not entry-level writing.

  • Honest assessment of grant viability

  • High-quality, funder-aligned proposals

  • Strategic guidance rooted in experience

When This Service Is Not the Right Fit

Grant writing is not a quick fix, and it is not appropriate for every organization or situation.

This service may not be a good fit if:

  • You are looking for guaranteed funding

  • Your organization is not legally established or in good standing

  • You are unwilling or unable to provide required documents and data

  • Your programs are not clearly defined or ready for funding

  • You want to submit large volumes of applications without strategy

  • You are seeking last-minute grant submissions with unrealistic timelines

In these cases, guidance or readiness support may be recommended before moving forward.

Clarity protects everyone involved and leads to better outcomes.

  • No. Ethical grant writers do not guarantee awards, and funders would never support that claim. What is guaranteed is a strategic, well-researched, funder-aligned proposal that represents your organization accurately and competitively.

  • Readiness is about more than need. It includes clear programs, realistic budgets, measurable outcomes, and the ability to manage funding responsibly. If something is missing, it will be identified early so time and money are not wasted.

  • Yes. Work includes private foundations, corporate funders, local and state grants, and select federal opportunities when the organization is prepared for the level of compliance involved.

  • Both options are available. Grant research can be provided, or work can begin with opportunities you have already identified. All opportunities are reviewed for alignment before moving forward.

  • Timelines depend on the complexity of the grant and the readiness of the organization. Smaller foundation grants may take a few weeks. Larger or government grants often require more time for strategy, data collection, and review.

  • Yes, with honesty. New organizations can be competitive if their programs are clear and their expectations are realistic. Sometimes the best first step is readiness and positioning before submitting applications.

  • “We had been applying for grants for years with little success. What changed wasn’t just the writing, it was the strategy. Our first award working together was $25,000, and it finally felt like funders understood what we do.”

    —Executive Director, Community-Based Nonprofit

  • “This was the first time a grant writer actually asked hard questions about our programs and budget. The process made us stronger internally. We secured $78,000 in new funding within the first year.”

    —Program Director, Youth Services Organization

  • “We received a $150,000 foundation grant that had previously felt out of reach. The proposal told our story clearly without exaggeration. Reviewers told us it was one of the strongest applications they received.”

    —CEO, Regional Health Nonprofit

  • “Our organization secured a $250,000 award after being turned down twice in the past. The difference was alignment and clarity. This work respected our mission and didn’t try to make us something we’re not.”

    —Board Chair, Advocacy Organization

  • “We were awarded $500,000 in multi-year funding. Beyond the grant itself, the process helped us build language and structure we now use across all our fundraising. That impact has been lasting.”

    —Development Director, Education Nonprofit

  • “Working together led to our first seven-figure award. The proposal process was thorough, honest, and disciplined. This wasn’t about chasing money. It was about presenting our work with integrity.”

    —Executive Leadership Team, Multi-State Nonprofit

  • “As a small community soup kitchen, state funding always felt intimidating and out of reach. What we appreciated most was the honesty and structure brought to the process. Our programs were respected, our limits were acknowledged, and nothing was exaggerated. We were awarded a multi-year $100,000 grant from the state, which has allowed us to expand meal service and plan with stability instead of uncertainty. Just as important, our board now understands what funders are actually looking for and how to speak that language without losing who we are.”

    —Board Chair, Community Soup Kitchen
