Help turning a good local idea into something fundable and clear.

Planning, grant writing and practical structure for community initiatives, clubs, artists, sole traders and small organisations.

Discuss an idea

What this can include

Clarifying the project idea and audience
Finding the practical story inside the application
Drafting grant responses in plain English
Budgets, timelines and supporting material
Simple systems for committees and small teams

Best starting point

Bring the rough idea, deadline, guidelines and any notes you already have. A first session can focus on whether the grant or project path is worth the effort.

Grants & Ideas Pricing

Plain-English help for turning rough ideas into fundable projects.

Grant writing, business development and strategic project support can create thousands in value when the right idea gets funded or clarified. Island-friendly rates may be offered, but funded projects and mainland-style work are quoted at professional value.

Grassroots idea check

$80-$120/hr

Clarify the project, test whether the grant is worth chasing, map the audience, and shape the practical story before writing begins.

Grant drafting

$150-$300/hr

Drafting responses, budgets, timelines, supporting material, committee notes and plain-English project summaries for serious applications.

High-value work

$300+/hr or fixed fee

For larger grants, funded organisations, strategy, business development, urgent deadlines or work needing research, care and review.

Fixed project fees can be agreed before work starts when the deadline, guidelines, documents and decision-making process are clear.

Lower local rates are offered to keep good island ideas moving, not because the work is worth less. Mates rates and favours are discretionary, not a claimable discount code. They are offered for kind people and worthwhile local ideas, not simply because of age, status, referral, or personal connection.
