Company Background
GrantsQuest, Ltd. Co. is a national consulting corporation that offers professional grant writing and capacity building services to 501(c)(3) agencies, commercial vendors, and public entities throughout the United States. Our mission is to increase the quantity and quality of education, social service, human service, justice and economic development-related, grant supported programs in order to reduce community disorganization factors and bring about positive change for immediate and future generations. Our hands -on support, consultancy, and research tools are intentionally aimed at ensuring that partnerships among individuals, schools, community organizations, and funding sources are created and strengthened. In the process, we hope to build dreams, resurrect hopes, and realize successes for all constituents. Designing and constructing collaborative alliances is our highest priority. The company pursues this mission by striving to provide the most affordable and highest quality grant development services available on the market – backed with exceptional customer service.
Founded in 1992, GrantsQuest began as an independent contracting firm that targeted its grant development services to central and southeastern Kentucky LEA’s and schools. Over the course of the past ten years, the company has expanded its services to focus on multiple entity types (i.e., nonprofits, governments, educational and other product vendors) throughout the country.
GrantsQuest is comprised of several divisions, which include the Grant Development Division and the Commonwealth Planning and Evaluation Institute. The Grant Development Division hosts a large staff of professional grant writers, full-time administrators, and support staff who represent an average of 50 GQ client agencies at any one time. The division’s grant writer pool is diverse and inclusive of education specialists, community economic development specialists, mental health specialists, and criminal justice and fire safety specialists. Due to the large volume and demand of client services, GrantsQuest has the financial and management capacity to maintain a sizable staff of experienced grant writers who are able to perform a variety of grant development services in response to each client’s immediate need.
As a client of GrantsQuest, your organization and its stakeholders will receive top quality, affordable services that are individualized to meet your budget and programming needs. From school reform and fire safety grants to CDBG’s, our highly skilled grant writing team has the expertise to prepare exceptionally written grant proposals that are likely to be awarded.
Through our unique client needs assessment - grant competition identification – and proposal development process, GrantsQuest will prepare grant proposals with limited burden on your staff.

There are many benefits to contracting the services of a professional grant development company. Instead of paying for the high cost of a full-time grant writer, with an average salary range of anywhere from $55,000 to over $125,000 per year, “outsourcing” services when you need them could quickly save you thousands of dollars. It is also extremely hard to find professional writers and program specialists. By contracting with GrantsQuest, you are guaranteed to work with only the best professionals in the country.
We have found through our own hiring practices that the vast majority of those who apply to be grant writers are really not professionals at all. Therefore, we are very selective in our hiring process. Writing a handful of grants does not make one a professional grant writer. That can only be accomplished with a long-time, proven track record of award success and program development/management.

The staff of GrantsQuest pledges to work in tandem with you in person, by telephone, by email, and through group interaction. We also promise to search the vast funding landscape, locally, regionally, and nationally, in order to present an independent and authoritative view of precisely how to fulfill your unique mission and goals. In the process, we will provide a comfortable and in-depth forum to share everything we know and learn about creating worthwhile programs.
By helping your organization to navigate the sometimes complicated funding bureaucracy and enhance collaboration among groups that can positively impact lives, we help you to discover innovative ways to make vital connections—no matter whether you are an educational institution, municipality, non-profit agency, or vendor that hopes to expand your possibilities.

Our philosophy is simple and concise: we believe that, given enough support, all programs can be successfully implemented. Support from GrantsQuest comes in the form of quality resources, which include:
- Financial Resources: Our GrantWatch database and grant writing how-to information are each intended to secure funding resources for vital educational and community programs.
- Information Resources: Our on-line accessibility and use of vital information facilitates success for students, parents, staff, organizations, administrators and the community.
- Human Resources: The deployment of human resources advances a non-profit agency's vision and mission.
- Time Resources: Through the effective use of our web site, time becomes a resource for supporting and enhancing the productivity of any organization, rather than a constraint limiting opportunities.
- Technology Resources: Through the vital use of web page design and hosting services and Web 2.0 Marketing Strategies, technology becomes a vital resource that enhances communication with your constituents.
- Policy Resources: The policies for selecting and updating funding organization background, available jobs, and other timely information are consistent with GrantsQuest's philosophy.
Whether it is a classroom of children using technology as a tool, a community health clinic acquiring costly equipment, a public library securing additional books and periodicals, a parent group seeking to establish aligned curriculum standards among area preschools, or any other worthwhile community project, our primary goal is to increase all learning and support over time.
We look forward to helping your organization.
