YOU WILL ASK ME...

CAN YOU PAY ME FROM AWARDED GRANTS?
No, grant writing based on commission is not aligned with the best practices set forth by the Grant Professional Association’s code of conduct. Furthermore, our focus is on delivering products that are designed to yield long-term benefits and impacts rather than immediate monetary gains.CAN I WRITE GRANTS PRO BONO?
No, our grant writing services are highly specialized and take time.CAN I GUARENTEE FUNDING?
Securing funding is an unpredictable process and not something within our realm of assurance. Unforeseen shifts in the priorities of funding entities, constraints in available funds, or a focus on specific charitable organizations can all impact funding outcomes.

I WILL ASK YOU...

DO YOU HAVE YOUR 501C3 STATUS?
When considering eligibility, the first step is to know what type of organization you represent. If you are a nonprofit, filing for your 501(c)3 tax-exempt status is key for applying for most grants.DO YOU HAVE A BOARD OF DIRECTORS?
Your nonprofit needs defined leaders engaged in the project's movement. Funders like to see the structure and want reassurance that there are key members who all want to see the success of your organization.IS YOUR MISSION CLEAR?
You need to have a clearly defined mission and vision/values statement.ARE YOU READY FOR THE RIDE?
The road may not feel easy at times, as it can be very tedious and carry many tasks. Regardless of the amount of time invested, the odds of receiving a grant are still between 10-20% with proper preparation and commitment.

THE LADY BEHIND THE PEN

Antoinette Writes specializes in helping nonprofits achieve their grant-getting potential through tailored support. From identifying the right grants to crafting compelling proposals, our goal is to connect you with the funding you need. Writing a strong grant proposal requires time, skill, and dedication, and the story you tell can make all the difference.My journey began as a teacher in Hampton, VA, where I spent a decade educating and mentoring youth. While I loved making an impact, I felt unfulfilled and out of alignment with my values, especially during the challenges of the pandemic. This led me to start Antoinette Writes, LLC, in 2020, combining my passion for writing and helping others. Since then, I’ve seen firsthand how powerful words can be in advancing missions and creating lasting impact. I look forward to supporting yours!Antoinette Ethridge, M.Ed.
