Readiness Training
As a grant writer, I naturally have many nonprofits asking me how to access grant money. While their mission and the good things they’re trying to do for the community are honorable, the plain truth is that there’s not much I can do if they’re not yet “GRANT READY.”
Grant Writing
On a case by case basis (depending on availability), we create grant proposals that are clear, complete, comprehensive, and competitive that often meet and exceed the expectations of grantmakers and reviewers alike.
Grant Review Services
On a case by case basis (based on availability), we will review and edit proposals prepared by your organization for clarity, grammar, completeness, and match with the priorities of the grantmaker before you submit your application.
FACT: Federal grants are fiercely COMPETITIVE. For every published Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), there can be potentially 1,000 or more proposals submitted from across the country. If there are only 10 awards available through the grant and 1,000 applications received, then the chances of winning are 1:100. Becoming GRANT READY is well worth the effort and investment. Your organization could stand to profit greatly from learning PROVEN strategies that can INCREASE your odds of WINNING a grant.

- Understand what funders tend to ask about, and the information needed to provide those answers (we will examine an actual published FOA that has been used to secure millions of dollars.)
- Identify what resources you already have and what you might need to add to GET GRANT READY
