About A+ Plus
At A+ Grants, we believe funding should be a tool for transformation—not a barrier to growth. We partner with nonprofits, schools, and community-based organizations to secure grant funding that strengthens programs, expands capacity, and creates lasting impact.
Founded by experienced educators and nonprofit professionals Christine Ballentine and Jamy Shriver, A Plus Grants was built on a shared commitment to service, strategy, and results. Our work is rooted in real-world experience—understanding how programs operate, how compliance matters, and how outcomes must be clearly defined and measured.
Our Approach
We take a relationship-driven, strategic approach to grant writing. That means we don’t just write proposals—we invest time in understanding each organization’s mission, goals, and community impact. From program development and alignment to data-driven narratives, we ensure every submission speaks directly to funder priorities while remaining authentic to the organization’s vision.
What Sets Us Apart
What sets A Plus Grants apart is our deep, hands-on experience in education and nonprofit operations combined with a strategic, outcomes-driven approach to funding. We don’t just write grants—we build partnerships that align mission, data, and funder priorities for long-term success.
