Proposal Review
Give your draft a strategic second look.
A proposal can be well written and still leave important questions unanswered. GrantingUp examines your existing application for clarity, consistency, funder alignment, and compliance before you submit.
How it works
We read your draft alongside the funder’s instructions and evaluation criteria. We look for gaps in the need statement, program logic, outcomes, and budget connections, then prioritize the changes that matter most. Depending on the agreed scope, you receive actionable feedback, direct edits, or both, followed by the agreed revision review.
What the service includes
- Feedback on alignment with funder questions and stated criteria
- A check for missing answers, inconsistencies, and unsupported claims
- Recommendations to strengthen need, activities, outcomes, and budget explanations
- Clarity and editing support within the agreed scope
- A prioritized list of remaining changes and requirements
Your written scope confirms the deliverables, timeline, and revision limits before work begins.
How it adds value
An outside reviewer can spot assumptions and gaps that are easy to miss when you know your program well. Clearer answers and consistent figures reduce avoidable confusion, while prioritized feedback helps your team use the remaining time effectively.
Review is scoped to the materials provided and the time available. It does not replace legal or accounting advice, or guarantee an award.
