What your office handles
From the funding plan to the application.
Recommendations are reviewed before they reach your team, with the evidence and any uncertainty made clear.
It finds the grants, checks each one against the funder's own record, tracks every deadline, and prepares the full application package. You approve it and we submit it.
- Build and maintain your pipeline. Grants worth pursuing now and funder relationships to develop for future cycles, sized to your funding goal.
- Prepare the full application package. Your materials and the funder's requirements guide the work. You confirm your organization's program and impact details and approve the package.
- Handle submission with your approval. Where a portal requires your organization's own account, we prepare the package and work with you on the final submission.
- Show your progress. A monthly board-ready packet covers the pipeline, the evidence behind recommendations, approaching deadlines and the next steps.

Not sure which one? Read it off your last 990: grant revenue divided by total revenue. Pick the one nearest to that. If the first month's work reads a different tier, we show you the evidence and the choice stays yours. You are never billed retroactively.

Questions
Before you start.
How is this different from the grant team?
The grant team prepares the first draft; you review and submit. The grant office prepares the full application package, submits with your approval and includes the Funding Goal Guarantee. Both build and maintain your pipeline. Compare the plans.
What work will we still need to do?
Share your core program and budget materials, confirm your organization's program and impact details, and approve each application. Your team also handles funder conversations and any final portal step that requires your own account.
What if we already have a grant writer?
Keep them involved. Sharke can handle the research, fit checks and pipeline work, while your grant writer contributes organizational knowledge and reviews the application.
Do we need grants in mind before starting?
No. Sharke starts from your organization's profile and funding goal, then identifies opportunities and funder relationships to evaluate.
Who handles our information?
Sharke uses your materials to provide the service, with service providers that support processing, storage and delivery. See our Privacy Policy for how information is handled.
Can we cancel and keep our work?
Yes. The plan is month to month. Reply to a Sharke email to cancel at the end of the current billing period. The pipeline, verdicts and drafts remain yours.
From the beta
"We had grants in a spreadsheet, but it was not really a pipeline. It was a list I was trying to keep alive between deadlines, reports, and everything else on my plate. During the beta, Sharke found funders and grant opportunities I had not found, ruled out some that looked better than they really were, and started organizing the work around what we actually needed to raise. I still make the final decisions, but I am no longer responsible for finding every opportunity, checking every funder, and keeping the whole pipeline moving by myself."
Development Director · Workforce-development nonprofit · Texas · Sharke beta participant"We did not need another grant list. We needed someone to build the pipeline, keep it moving, and make sure it was tied to what our programs actually needed. Before Sharke, grant work happened when somebody had time, so we were always reacting to deadlines and wondering what we had missed. Now Sharke finds the funders, surfaces the grants, checks whether they are real opportunities for an organization like ours, and manages the pipeline around the funding the mission needs. I am not trying to run a grant office on the side anymore."

As a strategy consultant and investor, Collin Brown helped companies decide which opportunities deserved their time and money. He has also won more than $1 million in federal grants across several awards.
He built Sharke to bring those two experiences together: deciding which grants are worth pursuing, then doing the work to pursue them. Collin served in the White House Office of Management and Budget and holds a Wharton MBA.
A grant office built around your mission
You know there are grants that could fund your mission. You don't have time to find and evaluate them, and you can't afford to hire someone who will. So we became the grant office you can afford.
