GRANT WRITING & GRANT MANAGEMENT
The Luak Group provides comprehensive grant writing, funding strategy, and grants management support for Tribal Nations, TDHEs, Native nonprofits, and Indigenous-led organizations across Indian Country. With more than 17 years of experience and over $137 million in awarded grants, The Luak Group helps clients move from project concept to competitive application, award management, compliance, and long-term funding sustainability.
Our grant writing expertise includes Indian housing, community development, economic development, infrastructure, broadband, tourism, education, tribal justice, domestic violence prevention, substance abuse programming, cultural preservation, and other community-driven priorities. We have extensive experience with federal, state, foundation, and discretionary funding opportunities, including programs such as ICDBG, IHBG Competitive, and other tribal funding sources.
The Luak Group does more than write grant narratives. We serve as a funding strategy architect, helping clients determine whether a project is ready for funding, how it should be structured, what documentation is needed, and how to align scope, budget, timeline, outcomes, and compliance requirements into a strong and defensible application package.

Each funding opportunity researched includes a professional summary and standardized support information so clients can quickly determine whether the grant is a strong fit for their project, timeline, capacity, and long-term goals.
Post-Award Grants Management
After an award is secured, The Luak Group supports clients through the grant lifecycle to ensure funds are properly managed, reported, and aligned with grantor requirements.
