Testimonials
-
Before UrbanSceneries, our organization lacked direction and funding. Destinee's professionalism, passion, and expertise have helped us secure a grant to revive our youth mentoring program. I highly recommend her to anyone needing a tenacious and dedicated grant writer.

Finding funding and applying for grants felt overwhelming until I worked with Destinee. She made the process manageable, kept me on track, and gave me the push needed to get my nonprofit off the ground. Our organization wouldn’t be where it is today without UrbanSceneries.
FAQs
-
Grant funders look for history, infrastructure, sustainability, sound financial, uniqueness of program or project, and good people. It’s not just the grant that matters, but your organization as a whole. Our job is to help you tell your story powerfully.
-
Private grants take a minimum of two weeks once the writing begins. Government/Federal grants can take at least four weeks. If you need something faster, ask us about rush rates! We’ll work nights and weekends to meet your deadline if that’s what you need.
-
We provide this service on an ongoing basis as part of our Contract Agreement. We’ll monitor daily RFPs (aka funding announcements) and research current funding opportunities that might be applicable to your organization and/or program.
-
We do offer relationship-building services, but I absolutely encourage all clients to make the effort to do this on their own. The simple reason is if you ever stop working with us, you may lose the connection. And we’re committed to doing what makes the most sense for you. These connections drastically increase your chances of getting funded. When we take on the research, writing, and/or reporting, your Executive Director will have much more time to focus on this.
