Grants can be a great way to get funding to grow your business or expand or support your non-profit. However, the grant application process can be daunting and time-consuming. Our team has experience on both sides of the table, both in applying to receive grants as well as evaluating grant applications through business grant programs.  Our experience on both sides of the process can help you to secure the grant funding you need.

We can assist your business or non-profit with the grant process in a number of ways, including:

• Identify the right grants for your business or organization: There are many different types of grants available, and not all of them are a good fit for every business or organization. Our team will help you identify grants that are a good match for your goals and needs, saving time, effort, and money by not wasting time applying for grant opportunities with low or no possibility for success.
• Write a strong grant proposal: A grant proposal is a document that outlines your business or organization’s need for funding and how you will use the funds. We’ll assist in writing a strong and persuasive grant proposal tailored for both your business or organization and the grant program and granting organization helping to increase your chances of getting approved.
• Ensure appropriate documentation is prepared and provided: Much like a loan application, some grant applications can require a detailed narrative, financial information, and goals (“outcomes.”)  Our experienced team will ensure appropriate and accurate documentation is provided. 
• Help you prepare for the grant interview: If you are invited for a grant interview, we’re on your team to help you prepare and practice your answers to common interview questions, and structure your responses and documentation to maximize the chances of success.
• Follow up after the grant application is submitted: After you submit your grant application, it is important to follow up with the grantor to ensure that your application is complete and that all required documentation has been submitted.  We’ll manage this follow up process as appropriate and assist with requests for additional clarification, documentation, and information.

Our goal is to make the process as painless and smooth as possible for our clients, while delivering the best possibility for success in the grant submission process.

When thinking about working on your proposals individually or working with us, a few items to consider:

• The type of grant you are applying for: Some grants are more competitive than others. If you are applying for a competitive grant, our expertise can increase your chances of success.
• Your experience with grant writing: If you have no or limited experience with grant writing, let us be a part of the team.
• Your time constraints: Searching for, evaluating, and applying for grants can be a tedious, time-consuming process.  Focus on running your business or on your non-profit and leave the process up to our experienced team.
