Why Grant Writing Matters: A History of Client Impact

 

Behind every name on this list is a mission that needed funding – and a grant that made it possible.

Grant writing isn’t just paperwork; it’s what turns big ideas into real-world outcomes.

These organizations trusted Bolek to help them secure the resources they needed to grow, serve, and sustain their impact.

Social Services

There's something profoundly moving about partnering with organizations that show up every day for people navigating life's toughest moments. Whether it's a shelter providing safety to families in crisis, a food bank nourishing communities, or programs supporting veterans, these services represent the heart of what community means. We're honored to support these changemakers with grant writing services that help them secure the resources they need to keep their missions thriving. When we win grants together, it's not just a grant – it's hope made tangible, dignity restored, and lives transformed.

Foundations, Businesses, Intermediaries & Other

One of the most rewarding aspects of our work is the diversity it brings – no two projects are ever quite the same. We love partnering with foundations investing in community impact, businesses building social good into their DNA, and intermediary organizations amplifying the work of grassroots change makers.

Sometimes that means pairing our grant writing expertise with fellow consultants to deliver even greater value to our shared clients. Whether we're helping a social enterprise launch a new initiative or supporting a collaborative effort that requires innovative funding strategies, these partnerships keep our work dynamic and deeply fulfilling. It's the challenge, the creativity, and the chance to be part of something bigger that makes this work so exciting.
