Unlike most other grant writers, we proactively identify opportunities to increase the project score you might come to us with.
Working with us — from start to finish.
1. Confirm your eligibility
lightshed.us/eligibility
Here is the clearest REAP eligibility check you’ll find. (Here’s a video walkthrough.)
2. Get a quote for our grant writing service
lightshed.us/quote **Fast Track option coming soon!**
We ask to see the basic project details to get the project’s likely score. If your project is very low-scoring, we tell you that as part of our quote. This is also where you tell us who (applicant or installer) will hire us for the work.
3. Drag and drop your files
lightshed.us/process
Once you’re on board, we send you an easy drag-and-drop file upload portal. Click through the link above to see what files you’ll need.
4. E-sign your finished application
Once we have all the files we need, we usually take less than a week to get your finished application back to you for signatures. Then we submit to USDA on your behalf, and make sure they receive it in full!
Easy progress tracking
No more chasing emails.
No more wondering what’s left to do.
We now have a live progress tracking portal to help installers keep track of multiple applications going at once. Monitor and take any remaining actions on all your projects from one live view.
Let’s work together
We’re looking forward to learning how we can help your projects!
