Government (& Some Private) Grants
Let us know if we can help you write or edit your funding proposal or business plan. Grant writing is one of our specialities, including SWODF, FedDev, SMART Program, OTF and many others. A partial list of grants available can be found below – and the list does change as governments rethink new programs for manufacturers, start-ups, arts groups, non-profits, etc. We can also do the research and find a source that meets your needs.
MANAN has a great track record! We generally charge by the hour to make it easer for everyone (and less expense for our clients) — $125 for corporations and $75 for non-profits. We do not build a percentage into our fees as many firms do. Flat fees can also be arranged.
If you are looking for grants to for a charity or non-profit, also check our foundation search tools page.
