Strong grant programs are built through consistent strategy—not one-off submissions. Our 12-month retainer model is designed for organizations seeking long-term funding growth, consistent application coverage, and a more intentional approach to grant development.
Rather than reacting to isolated opportunities, retainer clients receive ongoing quality proposal crafting support throughout the year.
At Ardent Grants, we consider grant applications to be reusable funding assets that can be modified and recycled by your agency over time. The more proposals we create together, the greater your grant/funding asset library.
Instead of tracking hours, we commit to a number of applications/funding assets to be delivered within the agreed upon performance period. Additional funding assets can be flexibly added to your retainer as we go along at a discounted rate.
Retainer includes a 30-day cancellation policy.

Ideal for those agencies wanting a one-woman grant development shop. This 12-month retainer hast it all: monthly strategy calls, ongoing prospect research, strategic leadership, and 48-hour on-call consultation. This retainer model allows us to proactively build grant pipelines, pursue multiple aligned opportunities, strengthen proposal quality over time, and prepare organizations for sustainable funding success.
We create continuity across prospect research, proposal development, funder stewardship, grant calendars, and organizational planning. With dedicated monthly support, your organization gains a trusted, expert grant strategist without the cost of a full-time development hire. Retainer includes a 30-day cancellation policy.

A coordinated grant function—from prospecting through closeout.
Our 12-month Full Lifecycle Grant Development & Management service pairs two senior specialists to work alongside your organization throughout the year. Claire leads prospecting, funder strategy, positioning, narrative development, applications, and renewals, while Noah provides financial feasibility, budgeting, compliance, award management, reporting, and closeout support.
Rather than forcing every month into the same application schedule, we flex our capacity around your actual grant portfolio. Together, we evaluate opportunities, develop applications and budgets in parallel, monitor active awards, and stay ahead of reporting, reimbursement, modifications, and closeout requirements.
With regular strategy meetings, development, program, leadership, and finance stay aligned—replacing disconnected handoffs and reactive grant management with a coordinated, year-round approach.
The result: senior grant and financial expertise working together across the full grant lifecycle, without the cost of building two separate internal functions.
