Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our services and how we work with rural organizations.

General Questions

What types of organizations do you work with?

We specialize in working with rural schools, nonprofits, and local government agencies. Our clients range from small grassroots organizations to established institutions serving rural communities.

Do you work with organizations outside of rural areas?

While our expertise and focus are on rural contexts, we occasionally work with organizations in non-rural areas if the project aligns with our mission and values.

What geographic areas do you serve?

We work with organizations across the United States. Most of our services can be delivered remotely, making geography no barrier to partnership.

How do I know which service is right for my organization?

Contact us for a free strategy session. We'll discuss your needs, goals, and capacity to recommend the best approach for your situation.

Working Together

What does the engagement process look like?

We start with a consultation to understand your needs, then develop a customized proposal outlining scope, timeline, and investment. Once approved, we begin work with regular check-ins to ensure alignment and progress.

How long do engagements typically last?

Project length varies based on scope. Grant writing projects may be completed in a few weeks, while strategic planning engagements typically span 3-6 months. We'll provide a clear timeline in our proposal.

Do you work remotely or on-site?

Most of our work is conducted remotely through video calls, email, and secure document sharing. For some strategic planning engagements, we may recommend on-site visits if budget allows.

What information do you need to get started?

That depends on the service, but generally we'll need information about your organization's mission, current programs, budget, and specific goals for the engagement.

Pricing & Investment

How much do your services cost?

Investment varies based on project scope and complexity. We provide customized proposals with clear pricing. We're committed to making our services accessible to rural organizations of all sizes.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes, we're happy to work with you on payment schedules that fit your organization's cash flow.

Do you work on contingency for grant writing?

No. Contingency-based grant writing is considered unethical in the profession. We charge flat fees or hourly rates for grant writing services.
