Ask Sharifah adds grant writing services for nonprofits and small businesses

Ask Sharifah has launched grant writing services for nonprofits, chambers, community organizations and small businesses seeking funding support. The offering aims to help clients build stronger proposals, identify opportunities and improve their readiness for grants ahead of a June 22 summit in Long Beach.

Why it matters: - Nonprofits, chambers and small businesses often miss funding opportunities because they lack time, grant experience or a clear proposal strategy. - Ask Sharifah’s new service is designed to help those groups submit stronger applications and better compete for grants. - The service targets organizations that need capital, project support or resources to expand their impact.

What happened: - Ask Sharifah announced professional grant writing services for nonprofits, chambers, small businesses and community organizations. - The new offering includes grant research support, proposal development, application assistance, funding strategy and message refinement. - Founder Sharifah Hardie said the goal is to help clients turn ideas into “clear, professional, funder-ready proposals.”

The details: - The service is aimed at 501(c)(3) nonprofits, 501(c)(6) chambers, business associations, community programs and small businesses. - Ask Sharifah said the service will help clients identify opportunities, organize materials and submit stronger applications with a clearer funding strategy. - The company also plans to share grant-related resources and practical insights to make the funding process more accessible. - Ask Sharifah works with organizations seeking support in grant prospecting, proposal writing and funding readiness. - Clients can use the service to pursue new opportunities, strengthen current applications and improve their overall grant-seeking approach.

Between the lines: - The launch positions Ask Sharifah as both a service provider and a source of practical guidance for organizations that may have strong missions but limited grant-writing capacity. - Hardie framed grant funding as a growth tool when organizations are “prepared and positioned well.” - The broader pitch is about shifting clients from a reactive approach to a more organized funding process.

What’s next: - Ask Sharifah plans to continue publishing grant-related resources and practical insights. - Interested organizations can learn more at AskSharifah.com or by calling 562-822-0965. - Ask Sharifah will also appear at The People’s Chamber of Commerce Business Growth and Lead Generation Summit on June 22, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at Sports Basement, 2100 N. Bellflower Blvd., Long Beach, California. - The summit will focus on funding, business growth, housing, AI tools, grants and lead generation.

The bottom line: - Ask Sharifah is betting that hands-on grant writing support can help under-resourced organizations convert good ideas into fundable proposals.
