There IS funding for you – you just need to know where to look
Strategic Grant Research & Funding Intelligence
You've been told your organisation doesn't fit neatly into government grant categories, so there's nothing available. That's wrong. Government grants are just one piece of a much larger funding landscape, and when you know where to look, opportunities open up everywhere. As your strategic funding partner, I don't just write grants – I build your entire funding pipeline by uncovering opportunities others miss and positioning your organisation for long-term funding success.

Tired of being told "there's nothing out there for you"?
You've signed up for grant databases but don't have time to search them.
Grant writers have told you 'there's nothing for you' because you don't fit government grant categories perfectly.
You're stuck believing funding doesn't exist for your work.
Grants aren't about fitting neat boxes – they're about delivering outcomes.
There's an entire funding ecosystem beyond government grants that most people don't even know exists and typical 'grant writers' don't want to explore.
The problem isn't lack of funding. It's that they're not looking in the right places nor developing relationships with the right people.
Grant Scout: Strategic Funding Intelligence That Builds Your Pipeline
DISCOVER OPPORTUNITIES OTHERS MISS Move beyond the obvious government grants everyone else is chasing. Through strategic grant research and relationship building, I uncover funding opportunities from sources others don't even know exist – and position your organisation to win them.
PLAN YOUR FUNDING PIPELINE STRATEGICALLY Stop scrambling for last-minute applications. With Grant Scout, you'll have a 6-12 month funding roadmap that aligns opportunities with your capacity, giving you time to prepare strong applications instead of rushing to meet deadlines.
BUILD LASTING FUNDING RELATIONSHIPS Transform from someone begging for grants to a valued partner delivering outcomes funders care about. I help you understand what different funders actually want and position your work to meet their goals – creating ongoing funding partnerships.

GRANT SCOUT
Hand-picked funding opportunities delivered — no more endless searching.
Finding the right grants shouldn't pull you away from your mission. My grant scout service takes the searching off your plate — delivering hand-picked funding opportunities that match your work, your eligibility, and your capacity. No more hours lost scrolling through portals or second-guessing whether something's worth pursuing. Just curated intelligence that helps you focus on applications that genuinely fit. Whether you need monthly alerts or strategic funding partnership, there's an approach that works for how you operate. Ready to stop the endless searching and start moving forward with clarity? Book a call and we'll work out the best way to support your funding goals.
GRANT WRITING
Put funding behind your mission without losing momentum.
You know your work deserves funding. But translating impact into a compelling grant application takes time you don't have. That's where I come in. I'll handle the heavy lifting — analysing grant guidelines, crafting a strategic narrative that aligns with what funders are looking for, and ensuring every technical requirement is met. From scientific grants to philanthropic applications, I work alongside you to develop proposals that demonstrate the win-win-win: for the funder, the community, and your mission. You bring the expertise and vision. I'll make sure it lands on the page in a way that gets results. Ready to put funding behind your mission without losing momentum? Let's talk.
GRANT REVIEWS
Expert feedback that strengthens your application — without the full investment.
Already drafted your application but want a second set of eyes before you hit submit? Grant review gives you expert feedback without the full investment. I'll evaluate your completed application against the criteria, highlight gaps or missed opportunities, and suggest practical ways to strengthen your case. Whether it's refining your narrative, tightening your word count, or making sure you've answered what's actually being asked, this service is designed to give smaller grants the best possible chance — without breaking the budget. If you've done the groundwork and just need strategic polish, this is the support that makes sense. Book a call and we'll work out if a review is the right fit for your application.
Strategic Grant Writing: When You're Ready to Apply
Once Grant Scout identifies your perfect funding opportunities, I can craft compelling applications that position your work strategically.
This isn't about filling out forms – it's about translating your impact into the language funders understand and demonstrating how you'll deliver the outcomes they value most.
My grant writing approach focuses on positioning your organisation as the strategic partner funders want to invest in, not just another applicant asking for money.
Whether it's government grants, foundation funding, or those hidden opportunities others miss, I know how to present your work for maximum impact.

Winning Grant Applications,
Done For You
You're stretched thin. Between delivering programs, managing operations, and keeping the team moving forward, there's barely time to think — let alone craft a compelling 15-page grant application.
You know the funding is out there. You just don't have the bandwidth to chase it without everything else slipping.
And when you do try to write grants yourself? It's draining. Hours disappear into understanding guidelines, translating your work into funder language, and second-guessing whether you've hit the mark. Meanwhile, your actual work waits.
What if securing funding didn't mean sacrificing momentum?
Imagine submitting grant applications that feel strong, strategic, and aligned with what funders are looking for — without spending weeks away from your mission.
Imagine having a partner who understands your work deeply, translates it into compelling proposals, and handles the technical requirements so you don't have to. That's what working together looks like.
Why work with me?
I have an 86% success rate with grant applications. The industry average is 40%.
Your application isn't written by a junior writer or outsourced team. It's written by me — Dr Jess Hodgson — a former conservation ecologist with a PhD and proven expertise in research, operations, and strategic writing.
I've secured funding through scientific grants, philanthropic foundations, and government programs across federal, state, and local levels.
I understand complex projects, evidence-based approaches, and what it takes to stand out in a competitive field. Every application gets my personal attention, strategic thinking, and the expertise that delivers results more than twice as often as the industry standard.
Most importantly, I work exclusively with purpose-led organisations. Your mission becomes mine — and I'll help you move it forward with the funding it deserves.
