Rip Robertson, CPRE, CYSA

Parks and Recreation Director

The City of Gadsden is now able to launch the planning and construction of a game-changing urban development project with a $3 million Outdoor Recreation Legacy Partnership (ORLP) grant thanks to the outstanding team at Simple Grants. They were able to work closely with our state agency to secure their support for our community’s vision to develop an urban nature trail through the city’s urban core. This award is one of the largest federal grants our city has ever received in its nearly 180-year history.

Brett A. Johnson, PhD

The City of Chamblee is extremely excited to have been selected as an award recipient of the Georgia Improving Neighborhood Outcomes in Disproportionally Impacted Communities Grant! We were blessed to work with April Shaffner, from Simple Grants, on this application and look forward to continuing that relationship as we apply for other grants this summer and fall.

Towns the size of Cordova need to maximize every asset possible. Simple Grants instantly became a force multiplier and partner for our city. They worked with us to develop a grant strategy and then walked alongside us every step of the way to implement it. The results speak for themselves: three awards in less than a year, with more pending. Their professionalism, customer service, and expertise are undeniable. I look forward to our continued partnership so we can deliver more wins for Cordova!

Frequently Asked Questions

Below are the answers to the common questions we get.

How much does grant support cost?

Grant support costs vary based on the scope, complexity, and level of support needed. Some organizations engage for a single application, while others invest in ongoing strategy and advisory services. The cost reflects not just writing, but the strategy, preparation, and expertise required to develop competitive applications.Organizations that are unsure where to start often benefit from an initial conversation to understand options and determine the right level of support.

Grant writing timelines vary depending on the funding opportunity, but most competitive applications take several weeks to develop. Strong organizations often begin preparation in advance, which allows them to respond more quickly and submit higher-quality proposals when opportunities open.
A grant consultant helps organizations identify the right funding opportunities, develop competitive applications, and manage grant requirements. This often includes strategy, project alignment, writing, and guidance throughout the grant process to improve overall success.
