Grant Writing Services

Many businesses in all industries have had to reevaluate their focus and their markets, and be creative about expanding into new ideas. Now is the time for your creative ideas that have been on the back burner to come forth and be energized and actualized! The time is ripe for new ventures, and there is money to be found to support them. Where? How? When? What is the process? Many businesses don’t have the staff with expertise and time to do the research it takes to find appropriate funding. Below are the services I offer to help your ideas become reality.

I have written a number of grants in the education field, and for corporations extending their businesses to include “green” projects. I have a great track record for the grants I have written: all have been awarded! I am excited about helping you pursue your dream!

Services:
Depending upon the stage of your idea, any or all of these services can be requested.

Proposal Development: Do you have an idea, but haven’t thought it through enough to give it the substance it needs to become viable? I will research your topic, investigate other programs/companies that are doing a similar thing, and help you construct your idea into a plan. This includes assessing the need and brainstorming workable solutions, cultivating goals and objectives, and preparing a proposal.

Finding funding sources: Do you have an idea, but just don’t have time or resources to pursue researching appropriate funding matches for it? I will research possible sources, and present a list that will match your idea, or help you tweak your idea so it matches funding source guidelines.

Grant Submission: Once you have possible sources, I will prepare the documents for submission, and submit them within time requirements. If there are follow up requirements, I will schedule and pursue them.

Grant Management: Once your grant is awarded, I will conduct a professional evaluation, keep necessary records, and write follow up reports.

Basic fee: $35/hr. with discussion and proposal which includes an estimate of hours necessary for your project.

Before I begin my services, I must have a contract signed by your organization and a deposit. I do not work for a contingency fee, a commission, or for a percentage of the grant.
