About North Star Grant Writing

You’re passionate about the work your nonprofit does and want to get others on board, but when you write about it, it feels boastful. Or perhaps you’re too close to see what sets you apart, so you don’t convey vital information. Maybe you can write an exceptional grant request, but the time and attention you must put into it causes you to drop many of the other balls you’re juggling.

Whatever the reason, we understand. Grant writing is hard. Tedious. Detail-oriented. And exceptionally gratifying, at least to us. We’re self-proclaimed nonprofit geeks. We want the best for the organizations we partner with, including ensuring short-, mid-, and long-term fiscal health through robust grant writing services.


Mission Statement

We take care of the grants so you can take care of the rest.

Highest Values 

  • Reliable: Grant writing is deadline-driven. We’ll never leave you wondering if your proposals will be turned in on time.

  • Forming relationships with our clients is vital to us as we work together to position your organization in a way that drives meaningful success.

  • We love making connections that increase an organization’s effectiveness. We probably know some people you should be connected to.

  • Integrating our expertise and passion and having honest conversations to advise on effective strategies that improve your organizational operations, funding possibilities, and the ability to measure and demonstrate impact.

  • Long-term planning: We put your organization’s short- and long-term interests first to enhance sustainability—both today and for years down the road.

Whether you’re an Executive Director, Director of Development, or Program Director, you have a lot on your plate. Our goal is to take care of writing grants so you can focus on other areas. Our team excels at researching potential funders, writing high-quality proposals that uniquely share your organization’s story, and maintaining relationships with funders on your behalf.

Vision Statement

See Life Differently. Live Courageously.

What does that mean in terms of grant writing? Simply, we strive to help others realize a world beyond their current circumstances, whether that means obtaining stable housing or recognizing they’re more capable than what they believed. In other words, the very thing you’re doing. As we partner with you, we get to live out our Big Why. And we’re honored.
