Contact 504 Normandy Village · Nanuet, NY

the front desk for funding notices with a date already on them.

Call, write, or send the link. Whichever door you choose, the note is read at the desk in Nanuet and answered by the next weekday with three plain things: whether the opportunity fits your organization, which package it needs, and the fixed price.

01 / 04 Which line to use

the right door depends on how close the deadline is.

A federal notice due in nine days and a foundation you’re merely curious about deserve different doors. Here is which one to knock on, and what to have in hand when you do — it spares a round of email and, near a deadline, a whole day.

The funder’s name, the exact deadline and its time zone, and the notice open in front of you. On that call we’ll say whether a well-made application is still possible — and if it isn’t, we’ll say that too.

Draft in handyou wrote it yourself and want it checked before it goes.
Email the PDFRequest a compliance read$640, standalone

The draft as a PDF, the notice it answers, and the page, font, and margin limits if the funder states them — they usually do, somewhere in an appendix.
Post-awardyou were funded, and an interim or final report is due.
EmailSend the award details$420 per report

The award letter, the objectives the original application promised, and your numbers to date — even rough ones.

Every route ends at the same desk. A call that reaches us outside 9am–6pm is returned on the next weekday morning.

02 / 04 The back-planner

count backwards from the funder’s deadline.

Choose the kind of funder and the date printed on the notice. Each cell in the strip below is one day. It shows how a Zebraquill package usually unfolds — the first call sets the real calendar, but this tells you whether to ring today or next month.

  1. T–42Call the desk byFri, Nov 6

    The latest comfortable start for a federal package.

  2. T–21First draft in your inboxFri, Nov 27

    Full narrative and budget, ready for your one round of review.

  3. T–7Compliance read beginsFri, Dec 11

    Line by line against the notice, checklist in hand.

  4. T–2Zebraquill submitsWed, Dec 16

    Our standing target: forty-eight hours early, never on the wire.

  5. T–0Funder deadlineFri, Dec 18

    The date printed on the notice. We’d rather never see it up close.

Call while the calendar has room Carry these dates into the form

Weekend dates are moved back to the Friday before — the desk keeps weekday hours, and so should your submission.

03 / 04 In writing

a few lines are enough to begin.

Tell us the funder, the deadline, and what your organization does, in a sentence or two. A link to the funding notice is worth more than a long description; your annual budget figure is worth more than adjectives.

504 Normandy Village
Nanuet, NY 10954

Visits are by appointment, inside weekday hours — call ahead so the notice and your documents are on the table when you sit down. Most organizations we write for never come in at all: rural groups an hour or three away work with us by phone and shared folder, and their applications are none the worse for it.
