How We Work
A clear, scoped process from first contact to delivery.
Grants Partner works best when the goal, stage, deadline, responsibilities, and deliverables are clear. Our process is built to help organisations move quickly without losing control of scope, documentation, or decision-making.
ContextFit reviewScoped proposalDeliveryReview or continue
How an engagement starts.
You share the context
Tell us your organisation type, country, programme or call, deadline, current stage, existing documents, and where your team needs capacity.
We review fit and urgency
We assess whether the request is relevant, realistic, and a good fit for Grants Partner support.
We propose a scoped way to help
If there is a fit, we set out a clear support structure with deliverables, timeline, client inputs, assumptions, exclusions, and fees.
Work begins after agreement
Work starts once scope, payment terms, responsibilities, and communication rules are confirmed.
What we need from your team.
- A clear contact person and decision-maker
- Programme or call documents, where available
- Existing concept notes, applications, budgets, or project documents
- Partner information and responsibilities
- Internal deadlines and approval process

How we protect quality and scope.
- We define deliverables before starting.

- We agree on review rounds.
- We document client inputs and dependencies.
- We flag risks early.
- We avoid unsupported claims and funding guarantees.

Send the context. We will help define the next step.
If you are not sure which service fits, share your current situation. We will review the context and suggest whether funding strategy, proposal development, project management, project outputs, or ongoing support makes the most sense.
Grants Partner is an independent consultancy. We do not guarantee funding decisions. Final eligibility, approval, and funding outcomes depend on official programme rules, call requirements, and evaluator decisions.
