Two ways to work with Northlight: individual funding services at a flat fee, or an ongoing Funding Partnership billed monthly. No percentage of your award, no hidden fees.
Transparent pricing. Professional funding support.
Northlight uses straightforward flat-fee and monthly pricing. We don’t take a percentage of your award. Start small with research, hire us for one project, or make us your ongoing funding partner.
Make the first impression count. A professional Letter of Intent or Letter of Inquiry that introduces your organization and project to a prospective funder.
A full-service foundation application: funder research and fit review, a proposal tailored to the funder’s priorities, project budget, and submission coordination.
A professional federal grant application engagement — opportunity review, eligibility, strategy, narrative, budget, attachments, and submission coordination.
$8,000 / monthOngoing administration · scope set at onboarding
Ongoing professional grant administration after the award — reporting, deadlines, compliance tracking, documentation, budget monitoring, and funder communication.
Flat fees only. We never take a percentage of your award.
Scope confirmed first. We confirm fit and scope with you before any work or billing begins.
No guaranteed outcomes. Funders make award decisions. We control the research, strategy, and preparation.
Ongoing funding partnerships
Need ongoing funding support?
Work with Northlight on an ongoing basis. A Funding Partner plan gives your organization a recurring relationship with Northlight, instead of purchasing individual services one at a time.
Ongoing partnershipMost popular
Funding Partner
Your ongoing funding resource.
$2,000 / month

One foundation or state application per month
Ongoing funding research
Funding opportunity identification
Funding calendar and deadline tracking
Ongoing funding strategy
Best for: Organizations that want a steady, year-round funding pipeline without buying services one at a time.
Expanded funding support for organizations pursuing multiple opportunities.
$5,000 / month
The higher-touch relationship: more extensive research and strategy, two to three foundation or state applications each month, deadline management, and reporting support.
Two to three foundation or state applications per month
More extensive funding research
Higher-touch grant strategy
Funding calendar and deadline management
Grant reporting and administrative support, as scoped
Compared with Funding Partner: two to three applications a month instead of one, deeper research and strategy, and reporting and administrative support as scoped during onboarding.
Best for: Organizations with several programs or projects to fund, or a funding calendar too full for staff to keep up with.
Federal applications are billed separately on every plan. Applications are not unlimited; included volume is listed on each plan. Partnerships are a monthly service relationship, not a type of grant application. Northlight prepares and supports funding applications, but funding decisions are made by the awarding organization. No grant award or funding amount is guaranteed.
Whether you need help with one application or want Northlight involved in your funding strategy year-round, there is a service model built around your needs.
Start with a Funding Match Report ($250), then an LOI ($750) if a funder asks for one. You’ll know which opportunities fit before committing to an application.
