Captured Words helps nonprofits build sustainable funding systems that support long-term impact. Through funding strategy, grant writing retainers, and advisory support, we help organizations move away from reactive fundraising and toward clarity, consistency, and confidence.

Our work focuses on strategy first, execution second—so grants strengthen your organization instead of straining it. Learn more about our services.

We work with mission-driven nonprofits that are ready to approach funding strategically. Most of our clients are growing organizations that want clearer positioning, stronger funder relationships, and more consistent grant results.

No. Grant writing is only one part of our work.

We begin with funding strategy to determine whether grants are appropriate, which funders align best, and how grants should function within a broader revenue model.

Grant writing is part of what we do, but it is not where we start. Captured Words is strategy-led, meaning we focus first on readiness, alignment, and long-term funding health before pursuing specific grant opportunities.

Our approach combines funding strategy, grant execution, and narrative expertise. We prioritize funder fit, organizational capacity, and relationship-building rather than volume-based submissions.

We help nonprofits understand readiness, timelines, reporting, renewals, and long-term funder relationships—so each grant contributes to sustainability, not burnout.

Getting started begins with a conversation.

We take time to understand your mission, capacity, and goals before recommending funding strategy, a grant writing retainer, or a phased approach.
