A funding program drops with one week to go, your board says go for it, and panic follows. We call these “red-zone” bids. They need the same rigour as any submission but in a fraction of the time. Grant Savvy runs a dedicated rapid-response workflow that takes your project from zero to lodged inside seven calendar days.
Yes, it costs more — we add a 50 percent rush premium — but it means the difference between meeting the deadline or sitting out until next year.
If the funding is strategic and the window is closing, speed beats savings.
The fewer moving parts, the faster the draft turns into a compliant submission.
Day 1
Kick-off call, collect core documents, lock milestones. You receive a task list within two hours.
Day 2 to 4
We draft the narrative, build budgets, and compile attachments. You review once per day, returning comments by close of business.
Day 5
Compliance audit and financial proofing. We chase any missing letters or quotes.
Day 6
Final edit, executive sign-off, portal upload preparation.
Day 7
Submission. Receipt confirmation sent to you. If the portal glitches we stay on until the timestamp reads lodged.
We do not cut corners. We simply compress decision loops and work the extra hours.
All standard service inclusions apply — eligibility check, writing, budgets, compliance review, submission, post-lodgement support. A 50-100 percent rush premium is added to the fixed quote. No hidden extras. Payment is split fifty-fifty: half on kick-off, half on submission.
Email hello@grantsavvy.com.au with “URGENT” in the subject line. If we have capacity and you have the core data ready, we will issue a scope and quote within two hours. The clock is ticking — let’s get it done.
