You do the work. We make sure the paperwork proves it.
Keligraphy is a proposal and grant writing practice for small businesses and nonprofits who do strong work but don't have the internal bandwidth, or the compliance fluency, to turn that work into a winning submission.
Built by an operator, not just a writer
Every engagement carries the same discipline: structured capture, compliance-first drafting, and writing built around how evaluators actually score.
Compliance-First
Every proposal is structured against the evaluation criteria and solicitation instructions, not just written well.
Built by Operators
Backed by an operations and PMO consulting background that understands how government contracting and regulated delivery actually work.
Senior-Level, Every Time
No account managers, no junior hand-offs. You work directly with the person writing your proposal.
Also Does Design
Brand identity, web design, and marketing collateral available à la carte, for clients who want the full package, not just the writing.
Services & Pricing
Every engagement is priced hourly, per proposal, or via retainer, depending on scope.
Proposal Writing & Response Development
Full-cycle RFP / RFQ / RFI / IFB support, from outline through final submission, structured around the evaluation criteria from day one.
Grant Writing
Federal and state grant applications, plus grant writing for nonprofit and arts organizations pursuing foundation and public funding.
Also Available
Hourly
For smaller, defined scopes: a single narrative section, a compliance check, or ad hoc support. Rate depends on service.
Flat Fee per Proposal
Scoped after reviewing the RFP or grant announcement. No surprises, priced by complexity from a foundation LOI to a complex federal proposal.
Retainer
For businesses building a steady pipeline of pursuits: capture support, writing, and compliance review bundled together.
No contingency or percentage-of-award fees. Ever.
À La Carte: Design Services
Brand identity, website design, and marketing collateral, available as a standalone offering.

The gap between capable and proven
"Keligraphy helps small businesses translate strong work into winning proposals, built on compliance rigor and writing that holds up under evaluation."
Keligraphy is a proposal and grant writing practice built for small businesses and nonprofits pursuing government contracts and grant funding. We know the difference between a business that can deliver and a business that can prove it can deliver on paper, and we close that gap.
Our approach is shaped by an operations and PMO consulting background: before Keligraphy wrote proposals, we managed the kind of complex, regulated delivery work those proposals promise. That means we're writing to hold up under evaluation, because we know what evaluators are actually scoring against.
- 01Precise, credible, no fluff
- 02Outcome-obsessed: measured by shortlists and wins
- 03Plain language, even inside compliance-heavy writing
Let's talk about your next proposal.
Whether you have a solicitation due in two weeks or you're building your capture pipeline for next year, start with a conversation.
