Frequently Asked Questions

 

  • Do you guarantee grant approval?

    Through careful research, strategic planning, and expert application preparation, we aim to give every client the strongest possible chance of securing funding. While we cannot guarantee grant approval, our proven approach consistently delivers high success rates and maximizes funding opportunities

  • Are there situations where I need to submit the funding application myself?

    In certain cases, city agencies or government funding entities may require that submissions come directly from the applicant. When this is mandated, the applicant will be responsible for submitting the finalized documents. Noveau Funding Group will ensure all materials are professionally prepared and ready for submission, so the applicant’s role is simply to send them as instructed. We’re here to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible.

  • Who provides the information for the grant?

    All necessary documentation is provided by the client, while our team handles the preparation, organization, and verification to ensure it is accurate, complete, and presented in the strongest possible way.

  • How do you charge for services?

    A 5% upfront fee of the requested grant amount covers the initial work and expertise needed to maximize the success of your application. This represents a strategic investment in the growth of your business or organization. The remaining 15% service fee of the final awarded amount is due only when the grant is awarded.

    We serve small businesses, cultural organizations, and other community-focused initiatives.

  • Will I have to claim grant funds on my business taxes?

  • How long does the grant writing process take? 

     Timelines vary, but most applications are completed within 6-8 weeks.

 

"Before working with Nouveau Funding Group, I was barely keeping my café doors open. I knew there were grants out there, but the process seemed impossible to understand. Nouveau handled everything for me—I only had to provide my business documents. Within months, I was approved for a grant that let me renovate my space and hire two more employees. They didn’t just help me get funding, they gave my business a second chance."

"I had no idea how much help was available to small businesses like mine. My shop needed major improvements, but banks wouldn’t give me the loan I needed. Nouveau Funding Group guided me through every step, made sure all paperwork was perfect, and secured a grant that covered equipment upgrades. Today, I can serve more customers, my team has grown, and I finally feel like my business is moving forward."
