Let’s be real…
Grant writing = time-consuming, detailed and a little overwhelming!

If you’ve ever started an application and thought,
“Where do I even begin?”

You’re not alone.

Hiring a grant writer means:
✔ Less stress
✔ Better chances
✔ More time to focus on what you actually do best

Let’s talk about how Gilkey Grants can help!

Grant funds are awarded every single day. The question is are you positioned to receive them?

Many organizations miss out simply because:
• They don’t know what to apply for
• They don’t have time to prepare strong proposals
• They submit rushed applications
• They don’t track reporting requirements

We help you find, write, submit and manage grants the right way.

Don’t leave funding on the table.

Let’s talk.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

While a little luck never hurts, successful grant funding is usually less about luck and more about preparation, strategy and strong storytelling.

This St. Patrick’s Day, we’re helping organizations turn their missions into compelling proposals that funders can’t ignore. Because when the right opportunity meets the right proposal, it can feel a lot like striking gold.

If your organization is ready to pursue new funding opportunities this year, we’re here to help guide the way.

A recent study shows rural EMS response times are at least 20 minutes longer than the national average, with nearly 40% of calls involving complex injuries, far higher than the national average of 26.4%. Rural EMS teams also face unique challenges when responding to pediatric and mental health emergencies.

Grant funding can help ease these financial burdens and strengthen rural emergency services. If your department or organization is interested in exploring grant opportunities, contact us to learn how we can help.

Such a great honor to be able to bring grant awards close to home!

What a joy it is to stand shoulder‑to‑shoulder with people who believe in strengthening our community. Today we want to give a huge, heartfelt thank‑you to Gilkey Grants LLC and the incredible Emily Gilkey for pouring so much time, talent, and determination into helping the Community Food Pantry of Butler secure vital grant funding.

Emily doesn’t just help us chase opportunities—she helps us dream bigger, plan smarter, and serve our neighbors with even more stability and compassion. Her hard work happens behind the scenes, but its impact is felt in every family who leaves our pantry with a little more hope.

We’re grateful, we’re inspired, and we’re lucky to have partners who care as deeply as Emily and the Gilkey Grants team. Thank you for believing in our mission and walking alongside us as we continue feeding Bates County with love and dignity.

Here’s to teamwork, community, and the good we can do together.
