Frequently Asked Questions

Does Peak Proposals Provide Grant Funding?

Peak Proposals does not provide grant funding or financing. Through our website, we provide educational resources to help nonprofit organizations learn how to research funding sources, write grant proposals, and manage the proposal process. We offer information and training through our blog and free and paid courses.

Does Peak Proposals Connect Organizations with Funders?

Peak Proposals does not connect organizations with potential funders or submit proposals on their behalf. However, we have several blog posts that discuss how to foster partnerships and connect with funders, including:

• Focus on Partnerships to Increase Funding Options

• How to Increase Your Chance of Success if You've Never Written a Grant Before

• When Is It Appropriate to Contact Program Officers?

• What Do You Do When You Have a Big Mission and No Money?

Will Peak Proposals Write Grant Proposals for Me?

Peak Proposals is not a grant writing service. We do not write grant proposals on a volunteer or paid basis. We also do not have the capacity to review draft grant proposals and provide feedback. Our goal is to help nonprofit organizations learn how to write and evaluate their own grant proposals. For tips on writing a grant proposal, we suggest you review our extensive collection of blog posts on proposal development.

If you are an academic institution or an international NGO and seek grant writing assistance, please feel free to contact us. We can refer you to individuals who specialize in grant writing for these sectors.

Will Peak Proposals Tell Me Which Funders I Should Apply to?

Peak Proposals does not have the capacity to conduct funder research on behalf of individual organizations. Through our website, we aim to provide organizations with resources and tools to research potential funding sources. If you are seeking funding for your organization, we recommend that you review our blog posts and courses for guidance on researching relevant funding sources.

Will Peak Proposals Partner with My Organization to Pursue Funding?

Peak Proposals does not partner with organizations, businesses, or entrepreneurial ventures. Our mission is to provide nonprofit organizations with information, resources, and tools to improve their grant-seeking and writing skills.

What Happened to the Funder Lists on Your Website?

Unfortunately, we have had to remove the regional funding lists from our website. Based on feedback from foundations, we found that many visitors to our website were not reading the funders’ eligibility guidelines, and as a result, foundations were being flooded with applications from ineligible organizations.

To stay abreast of grant opportunities and their eligibility requirements—which often include geographic restrictions—we suggest you subscribe to a grantmaker database.

My Organization Needs Help. Will Peak Proposals Send Us Money?

Peak Proposals does not respond to donation requests. As part of our current giving strategy, we donate to several local, national, and international organizations. We do not make donations to organizations outside of this pre-selected group.

Does Peak Proposals Publicize Funding Opportunities?

If you are a funder and would like us to advertise a specific grant opportunity or your grant program in general, please contact us! We would love to share your information. Please submit a description of your funding opportunity to us via our contact form. After we receive your information, we’ll be in touch with any questions and will inform you when we post your information on our website and social media pages. If you have a graphic you would like us to use, you can either send us a link to Google Docs, Dropbox, or a similar service, or email the graphic to us at peakproposals@peakproposals.com.
