Final Review of Proposal
We'll review your proposal before you press the submit button!
Light reviews: Quick actionable suggestions (major gaps, readability, theory of change, high level content check, alignment with grant call)
Full reviews: Deep dive! (strengthen funding case, validate eligibility and technical requirements, section-specific feedback)
Logic Model Framework
Review of designed Logic Model:
Light: Feedback on horizontal and vertical logic + syntax
Full: Detailed Design work with project/field team
Eligibility Review
Full eligibility sweep:
Did you know that 36% of proposals submitted are rejected because of eligibility issues? Don't throw away resources and person-power on a proposal that isn't eligible for funding. Let The GH provide you with an overview of eligibility requirements before you start.
Individual or Team Coaching
Not sure how to get started? We provide individual or team coaching on the Proposal Process. Sometimes you just don't know what you don't know.
Gender Analysis Preparation
A Gender Analysis (GA) is an important component of most proposals today. It requires careful community consultations and robust preparation to ask the right questions. We help with the guidelines and framework to conduct an effective GA.
Grants Acquisition Workshop
Grants Acquisition is an exciting journey - especially when you start winning! Let us illustrate the steps and process involved in writing an effective proposal, so you know what investments you can expect.
Budget
Funders require strong justifications to ensure funds are spent wisely. A budget speaks volumes about your proposal and capacity. We can draft a detailed budget justification (value-for-money), explaining the rationale for each major expense item.
Theory of Change
You have your results chain - but now you need to articulate how your inputs, outputs and outcomes will lead to the project impact. Have you articulated your assumptions and risks? Leave the writing to us and watch the project take shape.
Partnership and Collaboration
Strong partnerships can be a deciding factor in grant awards. You don't have to go it alone! Let us provide you with guidance on building partnerships and consortia, creating MOUs, assessing risks and synergies and outlining collaboration roles within the project.
Sustainability Plan
Weak sustainability plans are often the reason a proposal is not funded. We can detail how the project's impact will be sustained after the funding period ends.
Proposal Re-Purposing
Light or Full re-purposing?
Have you ever submitted a great proposal but it didn't get funded? There's lots of reasons it didn't - and it may not be the quality of your proposal.
Customizing a proposal for different donors can significantly increase the chances of success by ensuring the proposal resonates with another targeted funder.
Risk Assessment and Mitigation Planning
Grant proposal reviewers look for proactive risk management, adding a depth of analysis to a proposal and demonstrating foresight and planning.
The Grants House can identify potential risks in your design and will develop mitigation strategies for the project proposal.
Organizational Readiness
Is your organization prepared for the demands of Grant Compliance?
Let us help you evaluate your organizational readiness to apply for and manage a grant. We'll help identify gaps and provide recommendations.
Report Writing Support
Funders usually require progress/interim and final reports. The quality of those technical reports can often affect further funding from that donor.
Before you hit 'send report' - let us review it to ensure quality and
compliance with grant reporting requirements.

Proposal Team Leader
Concept Note Writer: Concept Notes are scaled down proposals but they still require a level of analysis and planning that is like a proposal. But lighter requirements means you get to see if a donor is interested before you invest precious resources in a proposal.
Proposal Grant Writer: The Grants House sets a flat rate for its proposals, based on certain variables: single/multiple country, single/multi partner, multi-sectoral?
