Affordable Grant Writing Support for Nonprofits

At Recovery Movement Consulting, we believe every nonprofit deserves access to experienced grant writing and fundraising support—whether you're a startup organization pursuing your first foundation grant or an established nonprofit seeking federal, state, foundation, or capital funding opportunities.

​

Our pricing is designed to provide strategic, hands-on support while remaining accessible for growing organizations.

Monthly Grant Writing Retainer

 

Retainers for Nonprofits with Annual Budgets Under $1.5 Million: $2,400 per month

 

Includes an average of 40 hours of strategic grant support per month focused on both grant readiness and grant submissions. While we identify funding opportunities, write grant applications, and manage submissions, our support extends far beyond grant writing. We work alongside your organization to strengthen the key areas funders look for, including program design, budgets, outcome measurement, data collection, organizational documents, strategic planning, governance, and overall funding readiness.

​

Most organizations at this level will submit up to three grant applications per month, depending on available opportunities, deadlines, and application complexity. For many smaller nonprofits, the first few months focus heavily on building the infrastructure and systems needed to compete successfully for larger foundation, state, and federal funding opportunities.

​

Our goal is not simply to submit grants. Our goal is to help your organization become more fundable, more competitive, and better positioned for long-term funding success.

​

Retainers for Nonprofits with Annual Operating Budgets Above $1.5million: $2,500 -$7,500 per month

​

Organizations with annual budgets above $1.5 million often require a more comprehensive level of support to manage multiple funding opportunities, federal grants, capital campaigns, reporting requirements, and broader fundraising initiatives. For these organizations, monthly retainers typically range from $2,500–$7,500 per month, depending on organizational size, complexity, and overall scope of work.

​

Larger organizations are assigned a customized consulting team based on their specific needs. Depending on the engagement, support may include grant strategy and development, prospect research, funding pipeline management, capital campaign support, fundraising strategy, program expansion planning, budget development, evaluation planning, grant reporting, board consultation, donor relations, and organizational growth planning.

 

Rather than focusing solely on grant submissions, we work alongside your leadership team to strengthen funding systems, improve organizational capacity, diversify revenue streams, and position your organization for sustainable growth. Every engagement is customized to align with your funding goals, priorities, and long-term vision.

​

​

What Makes RMC Different?

Many grant writers focus solely on writing proposals. We take a more strategic and relationship-driven approach.

 

As a peer-led consulting firm founded by a person in long-term recovery, we understand that the strongest grant applications are built on more than data and statistics. They're built on authentic stories, community impact, lived experience, strong programs, and a clear vision for change.

​

Our team helps organizations:

• Identify the right funding opportunities instead of chasing every grant

• Turn lived experience, community impact, and outcomes into compelling funder narratives

• Strengthen programs, evaluation methods, budgets, and organizational capacity

• Build sustainable fundraising and grant strategies for long-term growth

• Navigate complex federal, state, foundation, and corporate funding systems

• Improve grant readiness and organizational competitiveness

• Develop funder relationships and funding pipelines

• Prepare for larger and more competitive funding opportunities over time

• Strengthen reporting, compliance, and outcome measurement systems

• Provide flexible month-to-month support with no long-term contracts. We only require 30 days' notice because we believe partnerships should be earned, not locked in.

 

Most importantly, we don't just write grants—we become an extension of your team. Many of our clients have partnered with us for years because they value the strategy, support, and results we bring to their organizations.
