Grant Proposal Writer, explained

This one's not about checking someone else's project — it's for your own.

Every other service on this site helps you evaluate someone else's crypto project. Grant Proposal Writer is the opposite: it's for you, if you're the one building something and want funding to keep going.

Programs like Gitcoin Grants, Optimism Retro Funding, Arbitrum Foundation Grants, Ethereum Foundation ESP, and Solana Foundation Grants all give away real money to Web3 projects — but each one wants a completely different kind of pitch. Gitcoin cares about community support. Optimism wants hard proof of past impact, with numbers. Arbitrum wants a concrete milestone-by-milestone execution plan. Ethereum Foundation wants an honest, ecosystem-focused narrative, not a form. Solana specifically wants you to justify why it has to be Solana.

How this helps you specifically: most builders don't know these unwritten differences and submit the same generic pitch everywhere, which reviewers can spot instantly. You tell us your project and which program you're targeting, and we write a draft in the shape and tone that program actually rewards — based on real research into what each one looks for, not a generic template.

What you get: a full draft proposal as a PDF, plus notes on where to actually submit it and what to double-check before you do. You should still review and adjust it — it's a strong starting point, not a substitute for you knowing your own project.

Building something and ready to apply for funding? Let's draft it.
