Nine stages, and a person signs off on each one
AI assistants can help prepare the work. People review each stage, Antwane Bohanon gives final CFGS approval before release, and your organization approves its final package.
From the first call to final delivery
Explore our programs, attend a workshop or clinic, or request a consultation with our team.
Submit the Grant Readiness application and complete the readiness assessment, which identifies missing documents and organizational gaps.
CFGS staff review your application and readiness assessment and record an eligibility decision.
Accepted organizations complete a participation agreement before any contribution or package-development step begins.
Your organization is handed off to Client Services, and we build a document inventory and project scope together.
We verify grant opportunities against authoritative sources and develop your package, with drafts you can review along the way.
Finance checks the budget. A compliance reader checks the package against the funder's rules. Someone who has not touched the draft reads it cold. Antwane Bohanon gives final CFGS approval before the package is released to you for review.
You read the completed package and approve it. Nothing is final without your sign-off.
You receive the final editable package, a customized submission guide, and a written record of what was delivered and when.
CFGS prepares submission-ready grant packages and customized submission instructions. We do not guarantee funding. See our technology use disclosure and contribution policy for more detail.
Submission-ready delivery is the finish line for a grant-package engagement.
CFGS prepares the reviewed package, editable files, and submission instructions. The client controls certifications, signatures, credentials, and submission. Post-award administration is not included in the grant-package scope; accepted clients may request a separate Statement of Work for award administration coordination, compliance calendars, KPI reporting, and closeout support.
Start with the first step
Take the seven-question readiness check, or talk to someone first. Either works.
