Grant Proposal Writing for Corporates and NGOs
Financely prepares application-ready grant proposals for companies, NGOs, project sponsors and international organisations pursuing European Union, multilateral and international funding programmes.
We structure and write funding applications around the actual call: eligibility, expected outcomes, technical scope, implementation plan, work packages, budget and submission requirements.
Our work is designed for applicants that already have a real project and need the funding case translated into a complete, coherent proposal.
What We Prepare
How the Engagement Works
Request an estimate
Send us the project, funding programme, call reference if known, amount sought, deadline and current preparation status.
Receive the scope and estimate
We review the file and issue an estimate covering the proposed scope, fee and expected delivery schedule.
Sign and pay
Once the engagement is approved, the agreement is signed and the engagement fee is paid. Work then begins.
Proposal development
We review the source documents, structure the application, prepare the required sections and coordinate outstanding information with your team.
Application-ready delivery
You receive the completed proposal package in application-ready form for final review and submission to the relevant funding authority.
Typical delivery: 3–5 weeks
Routine grant-writing engagements are normally completed within 3–5 weeks after onboarding and receipt of the required project information. Large consortium applications, technical infrastructure proposals or files with significant missing information may require additional time.
Indicative Pricing
Fees are based on the funding programme, technical complexity, consortium size, deadline, application length and current state of the underlying project documentation.

Grant Writing FAQ
How long does grant proposal writing take?
Routine files typically take 3–5 weeks from onboarding and receipt of the required information. Complex consortium or technical applications may require additional time.
What happens after I request an estimate?
We review the project and funding opportunity, issue an estimate, and define the proposed scope and delivery schedule. If you proceed, the engagement is signed and paid, after which drafting begins.
What do you deliver?
The engagement is designed to produce an application-ready proposal package based on the agreed scope. This can include the technical narrative, implementation structure, work packages, impact sections, budget inputs and supporting application content.
Can you prepare Horizon Europe and other EU applications?
Yes. We can support Horizon Europe, LIFE and other European or international funding applications where the project and applicant meet the relevant programme requirements.
Can you guarantee funding?
No. Funding decisions are made by the relevant funding authority. Our role is to prepare the application and agreed supporting material to submission standard.
