Project Based
Not every organization needs an ongoing grant pipeline.
Sometimes you just need help with a big opportunity or a one-time submission. Our Project Plans give you a full grant team (research, writing, and management included) for federal grants, complex foundations, or high-stakes proposals, with the same expertise and brand-aligned quality as our monthly plans, minus the long-term commitment.
Grant Llama Difference
More Grants. Less Overhead. See the Difference.
Hiring in-house means limited output and high costs. Freelancers are cheaper but unpredictable, hard to align on voice, and rarely deliver reporting. With Grant Llama, you get a full grant engine (research, writing, and strategy) for less than the price of a single salary.

Common questions
Let’s clear up all of your questions.
-
Most clients see 12 tailored submissions in the first three months, along with a live grant calendar and funding strategy. You’ll have a clear picture of your pipeline, plus proposals already in play. Proof that our system delivers early momentum.
-
We combine your past materials, audits, and brand guidelines with fresh research and AI-powered tools to create proposals that feel like they were written inside your organization. Funders notice the difference — submissions are sharper, more relevant, and aligned with your voice.
-
Freelancers can be hit-or-miss, miss your voice, or forget where they saved your files (hello stress!). Grant Llama brings a full team, consistent brand voice, organized files, and monthly/quarterly reports.
-
No one can guarantee funders will say "yes." But our systematic approach (research, aligned narratives, and data-backed strategy) greatly improves your chances compared to going solo.
-
Absolutely. We get to know your org, its tone, and its impact. Every proposal feels like it came from your team, not ours. (That’s our nerdy specialty.)
-
Everything from local foundations to federal packages. We target opportunities tailored to your mission, geography, eligibility, and organizational life cycle. You only see the ones you can win.
-
We start by gathering your previous grants, audits, brand guidelines, and any past writing samples. We also review your website and program materials. From there, we use AI alongside our team’s expertise to build a repeatable grant engine that learns with every submission. The result: proposals that get smarter, sharper, and more tailored the longer we work together.
-
Every quarter you’ll get clarity through insights—what worked, where funding is headed, what’s next. No more post-submission guessing: you get data you can act on.
-
Definitely. A full-time grant writer = $70K–$90K+ in salary and overhead. For $3,000/month, you get a full grant engine — structured workflows, consistent submissions, and a process built to scale. It’s everything you’d expect from a dependable hire, plus the output of an entire team.

-
With our Steady Stream plan, up to 50 tailored submissions a year. Even our Win-Based plan covers 12 high-targeted proposals. Either way, it’s more than one person alone usually manages.
-
We analyze feedback, refine strategy, and pivot your messaging—without extra fees. Every "no" becomes a roadmap to better proposals next time.
-
Totally. Your files and stories stay in a secure system with backups. No lost docs, no flaky freelancers, just organized access and brand-aligned proposals on demand.
