We see grant writing as more than chasing deadlines. It is about building systems, stories, and structures that strengthen your organization long after the submission is sent.

We help you move beyond the scramble with services that meet you where you are, whether you are preparing your first application or managing a full pipeline.

Our Approach

We combine strategy, structure, and storytelling to create proposals that are funder-ready and mission-aligned.
Our work focuses on clarity, clear data, clear outcomes, clear communication. Because clarity is what builds trust, both internally and with funders.

Every engagement centers three outcomes:

• Confidence: Your team understands what is being submitted and why.

• Capacity: Each project leaves you stronger, not more dependent.

• Compliance: Systems are in place to keep funder expectations on track.

Service Models

Hourly Support

Best for organizations building grant capacity
If you are newer to grants or still establishing a strong track record, hourly support offers flexibility. We help you refine your materials, assess fit, and prepare to compete for funding.

What we do:

• Proposal editing and compliance checks

• Attachment preparation (budgets, board lists, logic models)

• Strategic guidance on readiness

• Light research to confirm eligibility

• Capacity-building for emerging programs

Why it works: You pay only for the time you need while building a strong foundation for future success.

Per-Grant Packages

Best for ready-to-go opportunities
When you already have an opportunity in hand, per-grant pricing gives you a clear scope, timeline, and deliverable.

What we do:

• Full proposal writing from start to finish

• Funder vetting and alignment confirmation

• Coordination and clarifying questions

• One round of revisions based on feedback

• Submission-ready deliverable

Why it works: You receive a polished, submission-ready proposal with predictable cost and process clarity.

Grant Prospecting

For organizations that need a stronger pipeline
If you know you want to pursue grants but are unsure where to start, or if your funding base needs diversification, this package gives you focus and direction.

What we do:

• Identify 8–10 aligned funding opportunities

• Summarize requirements and deadlines

• Provide fit notes explaining why each funder is a good match

• Deliver everything in an organized, easy-to-use reference format

Why it works: You save time and energy while knowing your team is targeting the right funders for the right reasons.

Retainer Partnership

Best for managing a full grant pipeline
For organizations with ongoing opportunities, a retainer provides continuous partnership across research, writing, and reporting.

What we do:

• Proactive grant research and tracking

• Multiple submissions each month (as scoped)

• Funder communication and relationship management

• Reporting and compliance support

• Grant calendar setup and portfolio planning

Why it works: You gain full coverage of your grant pipeline with no missed deadlines, no lost opportunities, and no last-minute stress.

Choosing the Right Option

• Start with Hourly if: you are new to grants, testing the strategy, or need expert review on specific pieces.

• Move to Per-Grant when: you have identified opportunities and want clear deliverables with budget certainty.

• Add Grant Prospecting when: you are building or expanding your funder network and need a strong pipeline.

• Consider a Retainer if: grants are a key funding stream and you need proactive, full-cycle support.

We build funding systems that last.
Whether you need help with one proposal or long-term strategy, EmpowerTactics helps you build clarity, capacity, and confidence across every part of your grant process.

Whether you need a one-time roadmap or a full organizational strategy, we facilitate planning processes that prioritize clarity, collaboration, and alignment. We host retreats, conduct SWOT analyses, define priorities, and co-create plans that are actionable and measurable. Follow-up support ensures your plan doesn’t sit on a shelf, it guides your work.

Leadership transitions are inevitable. We help organizations prepare before it becomes urgent. Our approach includes identifying mission-critical roles, creating knowledge preservation systems, mapping out governance responsibilities, and building contingency plans for the unexpected. We provide implementation support and review progress six months out.

Great programming depends on operational strength. We assess existing systems and workflows to identify inefficiencies, then help you implement tools, policies, and frameworks that support long-term effectiveness. We specialize in supporting teams where program staff wear multiple hats and need systems that work for real-life capacity.
