A clear, staged path — with a human review at every gate
Nothing moves forward automatically. Every stage below involves a CFGS staff review before your organization advances to the next one.
From first conversation 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.
The draft package passes financial, compliance, and quality-assurance review before it comes back to you.
You review the completed package and approve it — nothing is finalized without your sign-off.
You receive the final editable package, a customized submission SOP, and a delivery record with checksum verification.
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.
