What We Do

Effective grantsmanship requires collaboration. We work closely with you to understand your vision and needs, collect information to support proposal development, and prepare proposals to carefully selected funders chosen for their alignment with your needs and goals. This individualized approach is key – funders each have their own program interests, preferred submission format, and geographic focus. The successful proposal is one that is tailored to the funder – and we provide that individualized approach.

We offer a complete range of project development and grant preparation services including:

  • Assistance with concept design- we help you position your idea to appeal to funders
  • Identification and analysis of potential funders – finding the best match for your project
  • Review of requirements – advising you on eligibility, and project alignment with the funder’s regulations and interests
  • Research to support your project design – how your service compares to other approaches
  • Development of case statement – to position you in the best possible light
  • Development of letters of inquiry, pre-applications and other communication – we manage communication between your organization and the funder throughout the application process
  • Proposal preparation – creating a compelling case for support
  • Preparing or collecting and organizing supporting documentation – assisting you to secure letters of collaboration, memoranda of understanding and other evidence to implement your plans

Our mission is to support your mission – to procure funding to meet the needs of those you serve.
