Services

Crimson Scribbles helps organizations turn meaningful ideas into well-structured, fundable projects.
Through concept development, proposal writing, and strategic consultation, Crimson Scribbles supports organizations pursuing grant funding from foundations, state agencies, and federal programs.

Concept Development & Letters of Intent
Starting at $1,200

Before a strong proposal can be written, the project itself must be clearly defined. Concept development helps organizations shape their ideas into fundable projects that align with grant priorities and funding opportunities.

Services may include:

  • project concept clarification

  • alignment with funding priorities

  • structured concept outlines

  • Letters of Intent (LOIs)

  • early-stage proposal strategy

Deliverables typically include a 2–5 page concept outline or LOI draft that can serve as the foundation for future grant applications.

This service is ideal for organizations that:

  • have a promising idea but need help structuring it

  • want to ensure alignment with potential funding opportunities

  • are preparing for a competitive grant program
