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, bringing more than eight years of experience securing funding for nonprofit organizations and for-profit businesses. Her multidisciplinary background in public health, communications, operational leadership, academic research, and technical writing makes her a valuable asset to the KBSL team.
Grant consultation involves supporting clients throughout the full grant lifecycle. This includes funding research, strategic funding alignment, proposal development, reporting and renewal requirements.
Our process begins with your project — not a grant database. We take the time to understand your objectives, your stage of development, and the type of funding best suited to your needs, whether federal, provincial, sector-specific, or industry-based. From there, we identify funding opportunities aligned with your project, develop tailored proposals that address program criteria directly, and prepare all required supporting documentation, including budgets, timelines, and letters of support.
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 funding is utilized and allocated the way it was approved.
