"Grant Writers Canada brought both clarity and structure to our funding approach at a critical stage of growth. He was able to quickly understand our vision and translate it into strong, well-positioned proposals that aligned with funder priorities. His support extended beyond writing. He helped us think more strategically about how we present our work and build sustainable funding pathways. Working with him has strengthened both our applications and our overall approach."

Marko Curuvija
Owner, Grant Writer
Hi, I'm Marko. I founded Grant Writers Canada after building my own charity, The Existence Project, a national storytelling initiative that humanized homelessness through in-person workshops, a short series, and a full-length documentary film. It grew into a $1 million organization, and I've since helped raise more than $10 million across the nonprofit sector. Now I'd love to help you reach your goals and fund the work that matters.
