Narrative Support for Funding, Institutions, and Cultural Work

Yarn Press provides external editorial and narrative support for organizations whose work is strong, but difficult to articulate clearly in institutional and funding contexts.

This work exists for moments when internal teams are too close to the work to see how it reads from the outside—especially during grant cycles, reviews, and high-stakes submissions.

Services:

Funding Narrative Clarification & Editorial Support

Often used for: grant applications, foundation proposals, fellowships, and renewal funding.

Yarn Press supports organizations during funding cycles by acting as an external reader, identifying where meaning breaks down, language becomes overly abstract, and where framing could be clarified or strengthened.

This service is a fit if:

  • You are preparing grant or funding applications and feel stuck explaining your work clearly
  • Drafts feel crowded, repetitive, or inconsistent after multiple internal edits
  • Your team understands the work deeply, but struggles to translate it onto the page
  • You want editorial support focused on clarity and coherence, not volume

Institutional Narrative Documents (Text + Visual)

Created for: boards, funders, strategic partners, or public-facing program overviews.

Sometimes, teams need a clear narrative not just for funders, but for boards, collaborators, or public-facing audiences. I help translate complex or values-driven work into materials that feel intentional, professional, and easy to use.

This might be a fit if you need:

  • A program or initiative explained clearly in one place
  • A narrative document for funders, boards, or partners
  • Language and visuals that feel aligned and credible
