Most businesses and organizations leave money on the table because they don’t know which grants apply to them, don’t have the time to write a strong application, or don’t have the capacity to manage the reporting once a grant is approved. Grant writing at KBSL covers all three.
Are you confident your business is accessing every funding opportunity available to support its growth and impact?
Many businesses and organizations leave money on the table, missing out on valuable grant funding opportunities. This is often due to limited awareness of available funding programs, as well as the time and internal capacity required to identify suitable grants, navigate complex application processes, and manage ongoing reporting and compliance requirements.
At KBSL, our grant writing services are designed to support clients throughout the entire funding lifecycle — from identifying relevant grant opportunities and developing compelling applications to managing reporting obligations after funding is secured.
Heather Molina joined the team as our Grant Consultant. She has eight years of grant writing experience across nonprofits and for-profit businesses, with a background in public health, communications, operational leadership, academic research, and technical writing. Her work covers the full grant lifecycle: matching projects to the right funders, crafting compelling proposal narratives, and supporting clients with grant reporting and renewal requirements.
Our process starts with your project, not a grant database. We look at what you’re trying to accomplish, what stage you’re at, and what kind of funding fits — federal, provincial, sector-specific, or industry programs. From there, we identify the funders whose priorities align with your project, build a proposal that addresses their criteria directly, and prepare the supporting documentation: budgets, timelines, letters of support, and the rest.
KBSL has a long track record with grant-funded work. We led the business case and federal funding application that secured $4.5 million for a cereal protein bioprocessing pilot plant with the Alberta Crop Industry Development Fund and the University of Alberta. We were also the team lead for Alberta Agriculture and Food’s three-stream Bioenergy Grant Programs, a combined $239 million distributed across the province. That experience cuts both ways: we know what makes an application stand out because we’ve sat on the program side, too.
Beyond writing the proposal, we stay involved as long as you need us. That can mean managing the project against funder requirements, preparing progress reports, handling claim submissions, and adjusting scope when priorities shift mid-project. Once funding is secured, the focus shifts to making sure it gets used the way it was approved.
