Grant Writing & Research

At CLF, we help local governments and nonprofit organizations secure the funding they need to turn ideas into action. Our team has written over $140 million in successful grant requests. Many of our clients see a return of 30 to 1 on their investment in our grant services.

Research That Drives Results

Every successful grant begins with research. We start by understanding your project’s goals, challenges, and timeline. Then we dive into public and private funding databases to find grants that match your eligibility and objectives. We consider deadlines, reporting requirements, and alignment with your mission. You’ll receive a clear, targeted list of funding sources with details on each opportunity.

Writing with Strategy and Purpose

Once a grant is identified, our team develops a strong, tailored application. We handle the full process, including:

• Crafting persuasive narratives
• Writing measurable goals and outcomes
• Creating accurate, funder-aligned budgets
• Gathering required attachments and supporting documents

We ensure that every application speaks the funder’s language and clearly shows the impact of your project.

Keeping You Ahead of the Curve

The funding landscape is always changing. That’s why we monitor trends, track new programs, and stay connected with key agencies and grantmakers. We keep you informed and ready to act when new opportunities arise.

More Than Just a Grant Writer

At CLF, we’re more than just grant writers—we’re partners in your mission. Whether you’re a city seeking infrastructure funding or a nonprofit growing a community program, we help make your vision possible through smart, strategic grant support.
