Retainer Service

Our retainer service takes the stress out of grants by making applications and management more straightforward. It’s an ongoing partnership that helps you stay prepared and confident as new opportunities arise.

How It Works

Comprehensive Support

With our retainer service, you’ll have support across the entire grant cycle, from identifying the right opportunities, to preparing strong applications, to managing awards once funding is secured. We act as your partner in the process, so you can focus on your mission while we handle the details.

Grant Monitoring

We actively monitor grants that are relevant to your business and bring them to your attention well in advance of deadlines.

Unlimited Grant Applications

We work with you to apply for as many grants as you think are appropriate for your business - no limits on how many!

Toolkit Creation

We create a flexible content library that documents every aspect of your work, streamlining grant applications for future projects.

Networking

We identify potential partners and resources and cultivate those relationships so you are set up for success when opportunities arise.

Grant Management

We set you up with systems to track expenses and we handle all required reports, reimbursement requests, and communications for you.

Who we work with

Is Your Organization a Fit?

We typically offer our retainer service to organizations we’ve already partnered with on a more complex grant. This gives us both the chance to confirm a strong foundation of trust, communication, and shared work style—key ingredients for ongoing success together.

Our strongest partnerships often include producers who:

  • Have owned and operated their own business for between 3-10 years.
  • Have values-led production practices such as regenerative, organic, or biodynamic (whether or not they have any certifications).
  • Have some kind of value-added product that they want to scale to a larger market.
  • Want to engage with their region and community more.
