GRANT RESEARCH
We do the heavy lifting to find the best grants by accessing multiple grant databases, filtering through 150+ grant opportunities to find the best pursuits, and creating a Funding Strategy. A Funding Strategy is a detailed roadmap for you to follow for the coming 12-18 months.
PROJECT DEVELOPMENT
We will guide you to ensure your program or project is grant-ready and competitive. We will demonstrate your programs or projects are impactful, that you have good standing in the community, sound financial practices, and project sustainability, among other attributes.
GRANT WRITING
Every grant proposal is specific to your program/project and the funding organization. Proposals are carefully prepared to show a close match between the funder’s goals and your program/project’s expected outcomes. Proposals are submitted early to give you the best chance of receiving funding.
