Grant writer in Norman, Oklahoma · Serving statewide
Grant writing. Stronger opportunities.
Taken For Grant-ED provides grant writing, funding research, and proposal development for businesses, farms, nonprofits, and community organizations across Oklahoma. Based in Norman, we help you understand what is realistically fundable, strengthen your application, and plan the next step.
The Oklahoma approach
Earn trust before asking for it.
Oklahoma owners are used to doing real work with limited time and tight margins. They do not need vague promises or a pile of opportunities that do not fit. They need someone who will listen, understand the operation, explain the tradeoffs, and be candid about what is possible.
We do not promise awards. We promise careful research, clear reasoning, professional work, and honest communication.
We consider more than grants. Loans, incentives, cost share programs, partnerships, and business readiness may be part of the answer.
We explain the work in plain language. You receive defined deliverables, clear terms, and a practical next step.
Who we are
We built Taken For Grant-ED for people with worthy ideas who need a real path to funding.
Strong businesses, farms, nonprofits, and community projects are often overlooked because their leaders do not have the time, staff, or specialized experience to navigate complicated funding systems. We exist to close that gap.
We do more than write applications. We help clients become ready, credible, and confident.
Built from firsthand business and funding experience.
Taken For Grant-ED is a Norman based grant writing, funding strategy, and business readiness firm led by Hamilton Martyn-Farewell. The company grew from years spent building organizations, leading operations, developing business strategy, raising capital, and turning ambitious concepts into workable plans.
Hamilton has more than 13 years of experience across operations, sales, marketing, organizational development, and funding strategy, including helping raise millions in funding. That experience shaped a practical approach to funding: understand the full business or program first, identify what is truly fundable, strengthen what is missing, and communicate the opportunity in language decision makers can trust.
Our clients are not treated like application numbers. We learn what they are building, why it matters, what stands in the way, and which combination of grants, loans, incentives, readiness work, and business planning can move them forward.
