Most Canadian grant applications fail not because the project is unfundable, but because the proposal doesn’t speak the language of the committee reviewing it. We research each program’s scoring rubric, priorities, and past awards before writing a word.
We write for a wide range of federal and provincial programs including NRC IRAP, CanExport SME, CDAP, ESDC programs, BDC-adjacent programs, Ontario’s Regional Development Program, BC’s Innovate BC, Alberta Innovates, and arts and culture funds including Canada Council for the Arts and provincial arts councils. Contact us with your specific program and we’ll confirm whether we can help.
Planwrit’s grant writing fees depend on the program, the complexity of the application, and the required word count. We provide a firm quote after the initial consultation. For reference, most grant writing engagements fall in the range of CAD $800–$2,500. Some programs with very detailed technical requirements may be higher.
Yes. As part of the initial consultation, we review your business type, sector, size, and project to identify relevant programs you may not have considered. We then confirm eligibility before recommending that you invest in a proposal.
In our experience, the most common reason grant applications fail is a mismatch between the proposal’s language and the funder’s priorities. Applicants write about their project; funders want to read about their mandate. A proposal that frames every objective in the funder’s own language, tied to their stated goals, scores significantly better than a technically correct application that doesn’t mirror those priorities.
No — no ethical grant writer can guarantee funding, and any service that does should be treated with caution. Grant programs are competitive and the outcome depends on factors including your project’s eligibility, the strength of competing applications, and available budget cycles. We guarantee a professionally written, well-researched proposal that gives your application the strongest possible case.
