Winning grants for Florida nonprofits, schools & houses of worship.
Bedrock Grants is a full-service grant writing and consulting firm for Florida organizations — with deep specialization in the federal Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP). From finding the right funding to writing the application and managing the award, we handle the paperwork so you don’t have to.
The best time to prepare is before the next cycle opens.
The Nonprofit Security Grant Program is where we go deepest. NSGP funding is awarded on a tight, unpredictable schedule — and when a new application window opens, it often opens on short notice. The organizations that win are the ones that are already registered, assessed, and application-ready. The quiet period before the next round is exactly when you should get prepared, so you’re not scrambling against the clock.
Full-service grant support — from search to award.
Most organizations that qualify for funding never apply: the process looks intimidating and the registrations trip people up. We handle all of it — and we go especially deep on the Nonprofit Security Grant Program.
Funding search & strategy
We find the federal, state, and foundation grants your organization actually qualifies for — and map out which to pursue first.
Application & proposal writing
Clear, compelling, compliant narratives that score — whether it’s an NSGP Investment Justification or a foundation proposal.
NSGP specialty
Deep expertise in the Nonprofit Security Grant Program: vulnerability assessment, Investment Justification, and the NSGP-Urban Area vs. State stream.
Registration & prequalification
SAM.gov, DEMES, MyFloridaMarketplace, and your W-9 — the exact setup steps that delay or sink most applicants.
Award & grant management
Once you’re funded, we handle reporting, compliance, and spend-down — so you keep the money and stay audit-ready.
Built for Florida
We know the Florida-specific pieces — FDEM as your administering agency, county-to-urban-area mapping, and the local deadlines.
We know the intricacies — on both sides of the award.
Grants are won and kept in the details. We’ve spent years inside the fine print of both halves of the process: the application that scores, and the compliance that protects the money after it lands. Most writers hand you a submission and disappear — we stay through the parts that actually trip organizations up.
Writing the application that scores
The difference between a funded application and a rejected one is almost always in the procedural detail. We sweat all of it.
- Reading the NOFO line by line — eligibility, allowable costs, and exactly how each point is scored.
- A risk narrative that ties every project to a documented vulnerability — the heart of a fundable Investment Justification.
- The right stream and scope — NSGP-Urban Area vs. State, UASI boundaries, and per-site caps, so you’re never disqualified on a technicality.
- Clean registrations, done before the clock starts — SAM.gov / UEI, DEMES, MyFloridaMarketplace, and W-9.
- Budgets that survive review — cost reasonableness, allowable vs. unallowable items, and complete attachments.
- Every scoring edge — first-time-applicant points and state-specific priorities that quietly decide awards.
Protecting the award after it lands
Winning is only half the job. More awards are lost to post-award missteps than most organizations realize — we make sure you keep every dollar.
- EHP review first — environmental & historic preservation must clear before a single dollar is spent; the #1 way awards get delayed or clawed back.
- Procurement that holds up — Uniform Guidance (2 CFR 200) competition rules, quotes, and sole-source justifications.
- Reimbursements & drawdowns — properly documented requests so you actually get paid, on time.
- Reporting on schedule — quarterly performance and financial reports (SF-425), plus budget modifications when scope shifts.
- Audit-ready records — documentation, equipment inventory, and monitoring-visit prep so nothing is questioned.
- Clean closeout — final reports and reconciliation that close the grant without surprises.
NSGP is our specialty — and the door to more funding.
