Process

1. AI-Powered First Draft

We generate a comprehensive first draft tailored to the funder's priorities and your school's profile.

2. Expert Review

Our team reviews for accuracy, compliance, and compelling storytelling.

3. Your Refinement

You review and incorporate your school's specific details and vision.

4. Final Submission

We ensure everything is complete, formatted correctly, and ready to submit.

Application Drafting

Grant writing is time-consuming. We accelerate the process with AI-powered first drafts reviewed by our team, so your school can focus on what it does best.

Each application is tailored to the specific funder's priorities and your school's unique mission and strengths.

Entitlement Recovery

Federal law guarantees private schools access to certain Title I, E-Rate, IDEA, and other entitlements. Most schools don't claim them.

Our entitlement audit identifies which federal programs your school qualifies for and provides a step-by-step claiming plan.

Common Entitlements We Recover

  • •Title I Equitable Services
  • •E-Rate Discounts (telecommunications)
  • •IDEA Entitlements (special education)
  • •Title II Professional Development
  • •National School Lunch Program benefits
