Services and pricing, in plain view.

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.

The pricing ladder

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.

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

An ongoing Northlight relationship — not another application package. Monthly research, opportunity identification, a funding calendar, strategy, and one foundation or state application each 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.

Ongoing partnershipHighest touch

Funding Partner Plus

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.
