North Star Grant & Development is a strategic grant partner — not just a grant writer. We bring senior-level expertise to every engagement. We focus on alignment over volume, matching your mission to the right funders and building a realistic funding pipeline — not chasing every grant that comes along. Through our fractional services, we offer full-cycle grant development — from prospect research to compliance and stewardship — at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire. We take on limited clients, stay for the long haul, and treat every organization like a partner, not a project.

You can reach us anytime via our contact page or email. We aim to respond quickly—usually within one business day.

We know that every nonprofit is different — and so is every budget. That's why we offer flexible engagement options designed to meet organizations where they are. Whether you're a smaller nonprofit with a budget under $500K looking for a single grant project or prospect research to get started, or a growing organization ready for ongoing fractional support, we have a service that fits. We offer project-based pricing for grant writing and research, as well as monthly retainers for organizations that need consistent, strategic support. No percentage fees, no surprises — just transparent pricing built around your needs. We'd love to talk through what makes sense for your organization.

Collaborative, honest, and straightforward. Working with North Star feels less like hiring a consultant and more like gaining a trusted teammate. We take the time to understand your mission, your programs, and your goals before we ever start writing. You'll always know where things stand — we're communicative, organized, and honest. If a funder isn't the right fit, we'll tell you. If your programs need strengthening before you apply, we'll help you get there. We take on a limited number of clients so we can show up fully for each one, and we stick around long after the proposal is submitted. Our clients often say the thing they value most is that we genuinely care about their work — because we do.
