Founded with a deep commitment to community support, Funding Navigator specializes in helping local governments secure
funding for essential projects. Our approach combines cutting-edge technology with expert services, offering comprehensive
solutions to government entities. Our diverse team brings together expertise in areas like grant writing, sales, venture capital,
and emergency response.

While working on this specific project, the vendor or business that gave you access to our program covers the cost of our
service. The Funding Navigator team is here to assist in any way we can at no cost to you. The vendor shoulders this expense
because there is an understanding that you want to purchase their products or services. Because of this arrangement, you’ll
want to navigate any internal procurement rules before getting started.

Absolutely! Our team has researched and categorized each of the thousands of grants in our database. We will provide you
with a custom, curated grant list based on your location, project, and department type.
While Funding Navigator can help you apply to all types of grant opportunities, our focus is most often on up-front cash
grants from private grantors such as community foundations, corporate foundations, public charities, utilities, and other
organizations that have a meaningful connection to the work you do and the community you serve.

We are so grateful you think so! Our team designed this process to solve the funding problem for first responders who did not become firefighters, police officers, or paramedics to write grants; it just came with the job. We’re here to help you create a safer, better world for the communities you serve – and for yourselves.

Funding Navigator offers a proven, streamlined solution that helps organizations like yours secure necessary funding efficiently and effectively, ensuring vital public safety projects get the support they need.

Our process is simple. We’ll ask you a series of short answer questions. Our team of experts uses the information you provide
to help you compile your grant narratives. Your experience paired with our expertise is a winning combination.

Depending on your position in your organization, the size of the project, local rules, state law, and other factors, it’s likely you
may need additional approvals. These approvals may be as simple as notifying the right people that you want to apply for
grants for this project, or you may need to seek more formal approval from an elected council or board. We recommend
learning the process for your project as soon as possible.

Most agencies finish this process within a few weeks to a month. The time it takes from onboarding to submitting your first
grant varies based on factors like project complexity, your organization’s readiness, and your pace. Expect to spend about
three hours on your first grant, including your onboarding meeting. Most users spend less than half an hour on each
additional grant.

Funding Navigator provides advanced technology and expert guidance to make the grant writing process easier and more
efficient. Our user-friendly tools and customized resources empower you to create high-quality, compelling applications
tailored to specific funding opportunities. With a focus on clarity, thoroughness, and alignment with funder criteria, we
significantly boost your chances of securing the funding you need to bring your projects to life.

Because the vendor you’re working with is covering the cost of your access to our service, we can only provide grant assistance
for the specific project with that vendor. Once you get started on your vendor project, we encourage you to inquire about our
subscription-based service for organizations that would like to complete more projects.
