ANGEL OAK DIGITAL SERVICES · GRANT WRITING
Grant Writing Services for South Carolina Nonprofits & Churches
Flat-fee, funder-ready grant applications from Letters of Inquiry to full competitive proposals — $65,000+ secured for Lowcountry nonprofits, never a percentage of your award.
A grant writer who knows the Lowcountry
Ed Garry Chisolm brings five decades of IT, grant writing, and nonprofit expertise to churches, civic organizations, and small nonprofits across Charleston County and the South Carolina Lowcountry — including deep, lived roots in the Gullah Geechee community of Wadmalaw Island. That’s not a marketing line: it shapes how proposals are written, which funders are approached, and how your organization’s story gets told to program officers who read hundreds of applications a year.
Every engagement is flat-fee. You’ll know the exact cost before any work begins — no percentage-of-award arrangements, which many funders view skeptically in the applications they fund.
- Letters of Inquiry (LOIs) that get you invited to submit a full proposal
- Full competitive grant proposals with budgets, logic models, and narratives
- Grant reports for funders after an award is secured
- Grant readiness review for organizations applying for the first time
- Research and matching to identify funders aligned with your mission
Flat-fee pricing, starting at $375 per Letter of Inquiry

Grant Writing FAQ
How much does a grant writer cost in South Carolina?
Angel Oak Digital Services charges flat fees rather than a percentage of the award — Letters of Inquiry start at $375. You’ll receive an exact quote after a free discovery call, based on the scope and funder requirements.
Do you work with churches and small nonprofits, not just large organizations?
Yes. Church grant writing and small-nonprofit grant writing are a core part of the practice, alongside civic organizations and community groups across the SC Lowcountry.
What’s the difference between a Letter of Inquiry and a full proposal?
A Letter of Inquiry (LOI) is a short pitch that funders use to decide whether to invite a full proposal. A full proposal is the complete, detailed application — narrative, budget, logic model, and supporting documents. Many funders require an LOI before you can submit a full proposal.
Do you write grants for Gullah Geechee heritage or cultural organizations?
Yes — this is an area of particular focus and lived experience, including Gullah Geechee Heritage Corridor and Sea Grant Consortium funding streams.
