    Testimonials

    We first used FGS upon the recommendation of another local non-profit organization. We were impressed with the professionalism and thoroughness of the entire FGS team. They provided expert direction and insight every step of the way to make sure that we strategically prioritized our project needs and that we had thorough documentation to support our applications. It was evident from the start that they truly cared about making our campus safe and worked diligently with us to make sure that we did everything possible to secure the funds we needed. As a result we had two grants approved - more than we could have hoped for prior to working with FGS. We were so pleased that we continued to work with them when the next round of grants were announced. I highly recommend FGS to any organization that is interested in securing government funding.

    It has been a rewarding experience working with FGS. They are professional experts in the grants field and have been very efficient and pleasant to work with.
    We have applied for security funding through their services and have been awarded at a 100% success rate. FGS has also been guiding us through the challenges of the post award process. We have successfully implemented one entire project within 14 months and are fully reimbursed. We are moving along quickly with the other projects.

    Feiner Grant Strategies have once again proven to be a tremendous resource for the Hebrew Academy of Cleveland in obtaining security grants of over $1,750,000. Their attention to detail, their knowledge of all the intricacies of the writing of the grant, meeting the timelines and all the various other needs required to submit a full proposal is truly inspiring. We know that Rivkie Feiner and her team can be fully relied upon to secure grants for our school. They are easily accessible and their response time is great.

    The Pivot Group hired Feiner Grant Strategies for a very complex bid on a very tight deadline. Their team was extremely professional and easy to work with. They efficiently handled every step of the process and we felt secure in the knowledge that our project was being handled by the top grant strategists in the industry. We highly recommend Feiner Grant Strategies for anyone who is looking for help securing funding from government, foundations, corporations, or donors.

    FGS is a partner that develops a grant strategy with you with their extensive knowledge on grants and government agencies. They helped us to apply for an equipment grant from the National School Lunch Program and they treated us like we were their biggest client. It’s difficult to express how impressed we were with their experience, professionalism, and the effort they put into every detail. FGS knew how to handle issues that came up and we were happy knowing it was in good hands. We are looking forward to using this funding to make improvements in our school, thanks to FGS.

    We are treated as more than just a client. FGS genuinely wants us to succeed as an organization. Partnering with the experienced team at FGS saves us valuable time and generated much-needed funding for our programs. With their help, we produced impressive grant proposals and detailed reports which continue to receive accolades from our funders.

    Hiring the team at FGS was one of the best decisions we ever made. Led by Rivkie Feiner, this group of accomplished and dedicated professionals is well known for their incredible competence, expertise, attention to detail, intelligence, insights, effectiveness and loyalty. We knew from day one that working together with FGS would bring our organization success; what we didn’t know was that their passion and commitment to our cause would elevate our organization and open doors previously unimaginable. We may have started as business associates, but today we just call them family.

    Cybersecurity Crisis: Nonprofits at High Risk with No Budget

    According to the CyberPeace Institute, nonprofit organizations are maliciously viewed as "cyber-poor and target-rich" and are consequently the SECOND MOST TARGETED SECTOR for cyberattacks. In fact, studies show that up to 60% of nonprofits have reported cyberbreaches in the past two years alone! Despite this, over 50% of nonprofits have NO CYBERSECURITY BUDGET! Both state and federal

    Why Choose FGS?

    We recognize and acknowledge the thousands of organizations serving others and love partnering and growing the services you provide. We call our clients “partners” because we work together and you gain access to our full team of experts who will strategize and craft and polish your application until it is ready for submission. (We take care of submission, too.) In addition to our successful writers and editors, our budget experts include a CPA, and our presentation team includes formatting experts and a graphic designer. Our team feels an acute responsibility to help our partners succeed and takes enormous pride in our finished product.

    Why should I use a grant writer?

    Grant writers understand exactly how funding agencies want each question answered. Given the competitiveness of the grant process, this expertise is critical. Moreover, submission can often be a time consuming, confusing, and onerous task. FGS will take care of that for you so that you can use your time doing what you do best - fulfilling your mission.

    I came across an opportunity that sounds interesting. Can FGS help me decide whether to apply?

    Absolutely! FGS offers a risk-free consultation with grant experts who will guide you on the proposal, the agency’s interests, and the competitiveness of the grant program. FGS will never sign a contract with you if we don’t believe you stand a strong chance of being awarded the grant.

    Can FGS help me find grant opportunities?

    Our research team combs through funding sources daily to find relevant grant opportunities. Depending on your level of partnership with FGS, we will research and present opportunities that are specific to your organization.

    How large are the grants you write?

    Opportunity comes in all sizes, and so do grant awards. And we do it all!

    What kind of funding agencies do you apply to?

    Everything! City, state and federal grants as well as private foundations and even to international agencies.

    I run a for-profit company. Can you help me?

    Yes! Some grants are available to for-profit companies. We can also help with your business proposals and strategic planning.

    Does FGS help post award?

    FGS’ services have traditionally ended with grant submission. Our goal is for you to be able to grow and scale your organizations and the services you provide to the community. However, we started to offer post-award services on an as-need basis as we saw the huge need. Ask us about them.

    What if we are not awarded?

    At FGS, we don’t rest until you have what you need to serve your community. While we have a very high success rate, we can't guarantee an award. We do guarantee satisfaction of the submitted proposal and we will work with you to resubmit a denied proposal, as applicable.

    I was referred to you for security grants. Do you do other grants?

    We have been branded the undisputed security grant experts across the nation. Still, security grants (federal NSGP and state) are just a portion of the grant applications and proposals we write for our partner organizations.

    What are your rates?

    Our rates vary based on factors such as geographic location, your organization's needs, and the number of sites you are interested in applying for. Contact us at 845-356-7800 to learn more.
