Question 1

What services does Visions Consulting Group offer?

Accepted Answer

We provide grant writing and RFP response, nonprofit consulting, fundraising strategy, business consulting for startups and small businesses, business plan creation, sponsorship proposals, and full-service event planning and decoration.

Question 2

Who do you typically work with?

Accepted Answer

We partner with nonprofits, small businesses, startups, faith-based organizations, schools, and community-serving agencies across the United States. Engagements range from one-time grant proposals to multi-year strategic partnerships.

Question 3

How much does grant writing cost?

Accepted Answer

Pricing depends on the funder, scope of the proposal, and turnaround time. Most grants are quoted as a flat project fee after a free discovery call. We never charge a percentage of awarded funds, which is prohibited by most federal funders and considered unethical by the Grant Professionals Association.

Question 4

Do you guarantee that a grant will be funded?

Accepted Answer

No reputable grant writer can guarantee an award. Funding decisions sit with the funder. What we guarantee is a competitive, compliant, well-researched application that meaningfully improves your odds.

Question 5

How long does a typical grant proposal take?

Accepted Answer

Standard turnaround is two to four weeks from kickoff. Rush proposals can sometimes be accommodated for an expedite fee, depending on the funder's requirements and our current capacity.

Question 6

Can you help a brand new nonprofit or startup?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We routinely help organizations form, secure 501(c)(3) status, build their first board, write founding documents and business plans, and prepare to apply for their first round of funding.

Question 7

Do you only work locally or nationwide?

Accepted Answer

We work with clients across the United States and meet virtually by default. On-site event production and select consulting engagements are available regionally on request.
