Grant and funding support across the full lifecycle.
Summit Grant Services helps organizations move from funding uncertainty to a clear, actionable strategy, then supports the research, writing, submission, compliance, and management work needed to pursue and administer funding effectively.
Core services.
Our work is designed for organizations that need more than a writer. We operate as a strategic funding partner that can integrate with leadership, finance, program, and development teams as needed.
Grant Research
We identify federal, state, local, foundation, corporate, and philanthropic funding opportunities aligned with your organization’s mission, eligibility, geography, project type, and timing.
Grant Strategy
We help determine which opportunities are worth pursuing, how to position the project, what partnerships may strengthen the application, and how to build a practical funding pipeline.
Grant Writing
We prepare compelling, compliant proposal narratives, executive summaries, work plans, attachments, and supporting documents tailored to funder requirements.
Budget Development
We support budget narratives, cost allocation logic, match documentation, sustainability planning, and alignment between project scope and financial request.
Submission Management
We help manage deadlines, portals, required forms, attachments, registrations, and final review so that submissions are complete, timely, and responsive.
Grant Management
We support post-award reporting, reimbursement processes, compliance tracking, funder communication, documentation, performance monitoring, and closeout. See the full post-award and compliance practice.
Post-award management and federal compliance.
A distinct practice, not an afterthought to the application. Award setup and internal controls, expenditure and cost eligibility review, time and effort, indirect cost and cost share, subrecipient monitoring, procurement documentation, federal financial and performance reporting, audit readiness, corrective action, and closeout.
Set the award up correctly
Terms interpretation, compliance matrix, reporting calendar, written policies and procedures, segregation of duties, accounting structure alignment, and registration maintenance, built before the first expenditure rather than after the first finding.
Administer it month to month
Expenditure and personnel cost review, drawdowns and reimbursement requests, prior approvals and budget revisions, subrecipient data calls and monitoring, procurement files, and agency coordination held to a written record.
Survive the audit and close it out
Single audit readiness, documentation testing, audit participation, corrective action plans, final reporting, equipment disposition, records retention, and closeout. Plus training and fractional grant staffing where the capability needs to stay in house.
Advanced advisory services.

Evaluation planning, performance measures, logic models, outcome tracking, and reporting frameworks that align with funder expectations and program goals.
Social Impact Analysis
