Services tailored to your needs

 
Feel confident your grant application reflects your best

You may be short-changing your mission if your organization's grant writing falls to staff preoccupied with delivering services, or the inexperienced, but bright, young graduate you just hired.
 
Grant writing is a short, intense exercise that requires collaboration, vision, organization, marketing savvy, and an engaging writing style. Not a common set of skills. And, not skills you need on-staff all the time.
 
My clients will tell you that using my services pays off. They use only the service they need, when they need it. The process goes more smoothly. The team feels more confident about the plan. The application's readability will please the evaluators.  And, the odds of approval climb.
 
No one can promise that your grant application will be funded, but whether I do the facilitating, the writing, teach, or coach your staff, you will submit stronger applications. Your chance of success will improve. The funding will come your way.
 

Facilitating Your Project
Sometimes you need help right from the start.
Updating the research. Checking out best practices. Pulling the team together. Facilitating  the process of developing the program.
 
 
Writing for You
Sometimes you need someone  to write the darn thing. The grant  deadline might be the week before your major fundraising dinner, Or the week after your grant writer leaves for her long-planned Alaskan cruise.
 
Then again, maybe it's a particularly complicated program to explain, or a demanding application. You want to bring additional expertise to the process. Or you want someone to edit what you've already written.
 
 
Teaching Your Staff
Grant preparation and writing goes better when the whole leadership team understands the whys and where-fors.
 
 
Coaching Your Grant Writer
You may have a gem-in-the-making. An inexperienced grant writer who will blossom with some coaching. Offer them the support that will help them grow quickly and productively.
 
Call me. I can help.
