We work with you to build a grant writing strategy that meets your needs and your budget!

Our Projects »

 

PROSPECT RESEARCH

After working closely with your team to identify your greatest areas of need and opportunity, we will conduct thorough research to identify grants and grant-makers whose funding priorities align with your needs. With access to databases that are not widely available we are able to research local, national and international grants and grant-makers.

Grant Strategy

Strategy drives success, which is why we work with you to develop a highly-tailored grant strategy that meets the needs of your specific projects and programs.

PROPOSAL REVIEW & EDITING

For clients who wish to prepare their own grant proposals, we offer review and editing services, providing guidance throughout the application process. In addition to thoroughly reviewing the grant requirements, we will ensure that your proposal meets the highest standards, and that your message is clear, concise, and effective.  This is an effective way to build your own confidence as a grant writer and learn from experienced grant professionals.

Coaching & Mentoring

Grant writing can feel intimidating, but it doesn’t have to! Grant Writer Etc. provides coaching and mentoring for novice grant writers, shepherding them through the process from prospect identification to award. We serve as a coach, mentor, troubleshooter, and sounding board. Contracts are available in 6 and 12 month commitments. This service is particularly valuable to for novice in-house grant writers or fund development teams who are new to grant-seeking.

LETTERS OF INTENT & FUNDING PROPOSALS

Whether you have identified a grant-maker independently, or we have identified one for you, we will work closely with you and your team to create compelling letters of intent (LOI) and grant proposals. If a grant proposal is rejected for any reason we will work with you to conduct follow up with the grant-maker in order to gain understanding of any improvements that can be made. 

GRANT WRITING PACKAGES    

Our primary goal is to help ensure your long-term success. While our immediate work focuses on securing grant-funding, our long-term goal is really to assist your team in establishing relationships that lead to long term program sustainability. Because of this we are committed to working closely with your team to ensure we understand the purpose for which funds are being sought. We then work with you to identify the various opportunities available to you, and support you as you build relationships with grant-makers.

As you build those relationships, we work behind the scenes to create compelling and comprehensive proposals that articulate your needs to grant-makers who value your mission.

We currently offer build-to-suit grant writing packages in 6 or 12 month commitments. Packages can include: grant research, letters of intent, proposal writing, and grant reporting.
