Grant Research & Strategy
Get targeted research that connects you to the right funding opportunities aligned with your goals and capacity. Start with a discovery call to clarify your priorities and timeline, then receive a curated list of promising grants reviewed for eligibility and fit.
Regular scans are available for ongoing visibility.
Application Development
Once a grant is identified, we develop structured funder‑aligned proposals that communicate your work with clarity and confidence.
Each proposal is tailored to the requirements and reflects your voice and purpose.
Reporting & Stewardship
Once funding is secured, we support your post-award reporting. This includes preparing narrative updates and assisting with funder communications.
Effective stewardship builds trust and positions you well for future opportunities.
About
Funding can drive growth and impact, but finding the right opportunities and developing a strong funding strategy can be challenging. We work with innovative businesses and organizational leaders to identify grants that align with their goals and prepare competitive applications that support long-term growth and sustainability.
Why work with me
I’m Anjali, founder of Applied Grant Services. I hold a Master’s in Public Policy and have a background in both government and the nonprofit sector, which gives me insight into how public funding works, from legislation to application. Through my work in government relations at a national nonprofit, I developed a strong understanding of government priorities, funder expectations and what makes applications competitive.
Before launching Applied Grant Services, I also worked on Parliament Hill and began my career as a freelance writer for iPolitics, gaining firsthand insight into how government priorities take shape. Today, I use that combined experience to position clients for success.
How we work
Successful grant funding starts with strategy. We focus on opportunities that align with your priorities and long-term vision. We consider funding fit, sustainability, and funder expectations throughout the application process. The result is a compelling proposal that clearly demonstrates the value of your work and positions you for future funding. Whether you’re applying for your first grant or expanding an existing initiative, we position your application with confidence and purpose.
Spotlight
“
I had the opportunity to work closely with Anjali at Windmill Microlending and was consistently impressed by her understanding of government, public funding and the nonprofit sector. She combines strategic thinking with an ability to translate complex programs and organizational priorities into clear, compelling funding proposals. Anjali is thoughtful, responsive and highly skilled at understanding what funders are looking for while keeping the organization’s objectives at the centre. I would recommend her to any organization looking for knowledgeable and strategic grant support.
