    Opportunity Scan · $350

    Find out what is actually open to you — and what is not.

    One search record for one organization against one defined search brief, with every source and search date written down.

    Read this before you pay: a scan can end with nothing that fits. If it does, you still receive the full search record — what was searched, on what date, against which criteria, why each candidate was ruled out, the conditions you would need to meet to become eligible, what to watch, and a date to look again. That is the delivered product, not a failed one. We do not invent a fit to justify the fee.

    Exactly what this is, before you pay

    Opportunity Scan · $350

    What you leave with

    One search record for one organization against one defined search brief, with every source and search date written down.

    Covers: One organization, one defined search brief

    The files you receive

    • Accessible PDF search record
    • Editable opportunity matrix
    • Stated sources, search date, geography, award band and exclusions

    Format

    Accessible PDF plus an editable matrix

    Your work

    • Define the search brief with us: geography, award band, program, exclusions
    • Confirm what you have already applied to

    DSG's work

    • Search public sources and record what was searched and when
    • Return the matrix and the reasoning

    Timing

    Within 7 business days of complete intake

    Human-reviewed work begins when intake is complete, not when payment clears. If anything needed is missing, we ask for it and the clock starts when it arrives.

    Check this schedule against your deadline before you pay. If your deadline does not fit, tell us first — we would rather turn the work down than miss it.

    Corrections

    If nothing fits, you receive the search record, the reasons, the missing conditions, watch criteria and a next review date. That is the delivery, not a failure of it.

    What this is not

    • No guarantee that any opportunity fits
    • No applications written
    • No introductions

    Money back

    Because this is human work performed to order, it is not refundable once the work has started. If you are unsure whether it fits, contact DSG before you pay and a person will tell you plainly.

    What the search brief has to say

    We define it together, in writing, before the search runs

    • Geography: where the work happens and where the money may come from.
    • Award band: the smallest amount worth your effort and the largest you can absorb.
    • Program: what the money would actually pay for.
    • Exclusions: funders you will not approach and conditions you will not accept.
    • History: what you have already applied to, so we do not hand you your own past.

    A scan searches public sources. DSG does not sell access to a funder database, and no autonomous system searches on your behalf. A person does the searching and records it.

    Where the scan sits against everything else

    The free builder gets you one working first draft, read only from the opportunity you paste. It is not reviewed, it is not researched, and it does not use a Sprint slot. Every paid level below adds something specific, and the difference is written out rather than implied.

    Grant build levels compared by price, coverage, assets, format, human work, your work, corrections, timing and exclusions.

    Where this sits

    What this is

    Deena Strategic Group is an operating prototype for fair philanthropy: a working system, used by real organizations, that makes community-created value legible to capital and asks capital to widen what it can read as value.

    Underneath the products sits a new SROI architecture — Social Return on Investment rebuilt so that community-created value counts, and so that no number is published as proof unless a person can show where it came from.

    You are not behind. You are under-translated. The work of this system is translation and truth-keeping: say what the evidence carries, name what it does not, and never dress a gap as a finding.

    One brief. One record. Every source named.
