Grantwriting

Submitting a successful funding proposal requires many talents, of which writing is only one. A convincing narrative helps. But often two other factors are at least as critical:

1. Planning a viable program that can meet the funder’s expectations.

2. Following directions.

The second is particularly true with federal grant applications. If it seems that the instructions are complicated, tricky and hard to find, you’re right. Federal agencies deliberate make the instructions complex in order to eliminate as many applications as possible.

Our grantwriting services include full attention to all the factors for success. We have written grant proposals to federal and local government agencies as well as private foundations.  On the federal side, we also completed The Grantsmanship Center’s rigorous training on “Competing for Federal Grants,” a rich resource on the tools and tricks for avoiding common pitfalls.

From “logic models” to compelling statements of need, we’ll help you make your next grant proposal a standout.
