Why It’s Free (And What’s Required)
Our goal is to remove financial barriers to grant funding particularly for those small non-profits in the Hudson Valley region of New York State. In return, we ask that organizations who receive a funded grant through our writing services commit to a grant management contract The Sierra Jacob Foundation or a percentage of your award amount when applicable. This allows us to ensure your awarded funds are tracked, reported, and implemented successfully.
