Edit Right AdvisorsWho we are
Edit Right Advisors is a grant writing and advisory firm. We work with nonprofits, NGOs, community based organizations, and social enterprises, helping them plan, fund, track, and report their work. We work remotely with clients around the world. The Edit Right Charter sets out what every client can hold us to.
What we do
We strengthen NGOs, nonprofits, community based organizations, and social enterprises to plan well, win funding, track progress, and grow their impact. Our services include strategy, grant writing, monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL), and research. Every engagement follows The 3D Journey of Discovery, Design, and Delivery.
Who we serve
- Nonprofits and NGOs: local, national, and international organizations with small, medium, and large programs. Common challenges: too few staff, a narrative, logframe, and budget that do not match, and heavy reporting after award.
- Startups and social enterprises: mission driven ventures moving from idea to program and funding, often applying for the first time.
Our focus: mission driven organizations in every sector, advising clients around the world.
Funders we have written for
Our US grant writing includes applications to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), including its SBIR, STTR, and AIM-AHEAD programs, the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI), and the American Heart Association.
Our international development work includes proposals, program design, MEL, and reporting for USAID, the European Commission's humanitarian aid department (ECHO), the European Union, UK aid, Germany's Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), the Australian Government (former DIBP), UNICEF, other UN agencies, and foundations.
Naming a funder does not imply any partnership with or endorsement by it.
The Edit Right Charter
Vision: A world where empowered organizations transform systems to build stronger communities.
Mission: We strengthen mission driven organizations with the strategy, resources, and evidence to deliver sustainable impact.
Our values
- Integrity: We tell the truth, even when it is not what someone hoped to hear. We only write what the evidence supports.
- Precision: We get the details right, because funders and communities depend on them. We check every number, name, and requirement.
- Partnership: We partner with clients, not for them or around them. The client keeps the final say, the skills, and the content.
- Respect: We respect the people, cultures, and communities behind every proposal, and describe them with dignity and in their own terms.
Our principles
- Client Centric: The client's mission and the communities it serves come first, and the client has the final say on what is submitted.
- Funder Fluent: We learn each funder's rules, priorities, and language, then show how the client's real work meets them. We do not reshape the mission to fit the call.
- Evidence Everything: When a claim, figure, or quote cannot be traced to a source we can name, we leave it out.
- Honest Help: When a funder is a poor fit, a deadline is unrealistic, or we are not the right team, we say so early.
Our standards
- Quality Quotient: a reviewer checks every deliverable at five levels: compliant, accurate, aligned, insightful, and useful. It reaches you only when it passes all five.
- Compliance Checked: every eligibility rule, format, word limit, and attachment is checked against a compliance matrix before submission.
- Evidence Excellence: every figure and claim has a named source on file. Gaps come back to you as questions, not guesses.
- Privacy Protected: your information is used only for your work and seen only by the project team.
Ways of working
- Clear Communication: one point of contact on each side and a short update at each milestone.
- Client Contributions: you provide documents, data, decisions, and access to people on the agreed dates.
- Collaborative Creation: we build with your team, so the work sounds like you.
- Change Control: any change to scope, deadline, or deliverables is agreed in writing first.
- Early Escalation: concerns go to the engagement lead and are settled promptly.
Our commitments
- Crystal Clarity: we write for a busy reviewer, in plain language.
- Compliance Confidence: we flag any eligibility, format, or submission risk before the agreed deadline.
- Realistic Results: we promise strong, honest, and complete work on the agreed dates, never a funding decision.
- Lasting Legacy: your team is better prepared for the next opportunity.
Questions clients ask
Do you guarantee funding?
No. We commit to what we control: the quality, accuracy, and timeliness of our work. Funding decisions rest with funders.
Do you support organizations outside the United States?
Yes. We advise clients remotely around the world.
What do you need from us?
One point of contact, plus your documents, data, decisions, and access to people on the agreed dates. Our timeline depends on these, and we say early if a delay will move a deadline.
How long does an engagement take?
It depends on the scope and the funder deadline. After a free call, you receive a written quote with milestones and dates.
