Fund Management and Grant Administration

Over the past 11 years, Fair Grant Writing has been on the client’s side for the fund management and grant administration process. We learned all the hurdles the applicants face when it comes to finding funding guidelines, filling out the application form, and communicating with the funder.

We also realize that the lack of a clear, simple, and auditable application intake, assessment, and audit process is extremely frustrating for the funders. The time and labour to assess each application take an enormous amount of time and people’s energy and staffing your organization with qualified and experienced reviewers is a huge challenge. And sifting through hundreds of ineligible applications only adds frustration and time waste to your staff.

We offer seamless third-party fund management and grant administration services to:

  • Government Agencies at all levels of government
  • Grant-giving Not-For-Profit Organizations that manage government or private grants
  • Large Corporations to support their Corporate Social Responsibility Funds
  • Charities
  • Family Offices
  • Angel Investors
  • Venture Funds
