Funding Search:
We conduct an Internet, Foundation Directory, Corporate Directory and library search, develop a list of potential funding sources and compose concept letters. We review the funders' web sites and all printed application guidelines to determine if the foundation, government agency or corporation is a good match for you. Make recommendations regarding whether you should apply to each prospective Funder (and if so, for how much and by what deadline), and record all relevant information about these funders into the firm's Grants Management Database.

Grant Proposal Writing:
We write and develop grants; write proposals and "letters of intent" (LOIs). We consult, utilize needs assessments, and brainstorm workable solutions, as well as cultivate goals and objectives.  We draft an evaluation plan, prepare documents for submission, proof read, and submit to the funding source and follow-up.

Adapt proposals and LOIs to the unique specifications of the funders, as described in their guidelines. Assemble proposals and LOIs for submission to you, cover letters, budgets, and addenda. Record all relevant information regarding proposal submissions in the firm's Grants Management Database.

Most important to you, we will submit entire proposal to you for finalizing input and approval.

Research Funding Prospects:
If your organization has a proposal, but not the funding source, our firm will locate additional funding sources. We rewrite the proposal to fit the new guidelines and resubmit to the new source.

Fundraising Strategies:
We have many sources of grant funding and can help you identify fundraising strategies for your specific organization. We also assist with budget development, development of fundraising materials, fundraising training for volunteers, development of funding sources, and direct solicitation of potential funders.

We will work with you to develop a realistic strategy for raising funds, and provide consultation to you on the basics of direct-mail appeals, special events, major donors, fee-for-service, etc.

Grant Proposal Review/Evaluation:
If your organization wants a completed proposal evaluated prior to submission to the funding source, our company can help.  We review it, proofread it, and make sure it matches the Request for Proposal and funding guidelines.  We score the proposal, identify weaknesses and make suggestions. If your organization wrote a proposal and requires a professional evaluation, we create the appraisal section of the proposal.  We conduct a professional assessment providing summative and/or formative expressions of the data.  

We are highly experienced program evaluators who do extensive and objective program evaluations to help with your organization's needs. We also provide technical assistance to partners in grant writing and program development.

We can provide the program or service evaluation you need. Our services are available that utilize both qualitative and quantitative research methods to assess the effectiveness of your program, product, or service. We will work closely with you to provide useful information in a timely manner so that you can adjust programs and services accordingly. If you want results, these evaluation services are what you need.

Strategic Planning:
Our Strategic Planning consulting is a tailored process to help organizations plan for the future. Skilled facilitators guide the organization through a process, which includes the development or revision of a mission statement, client and customer analysis, and review of products and programs. This process involves an assessment of strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and threats, and identifies the most critical issues for your organization to move forward in a competitive and changing environment.

Setting the right goals keeps you in line with the strategic path of the organization. Many different factors can make your goal-setting experience complex. Our consultants are experts who help you to effectively set challenging, achievable goals that will take your organization to the next level.

We can help with determining the measurable goals and objectives of the project and help plan substantiating the need for the program in the community and determining the precise procedure that the organization intends to use to carry out the program objectives, and help you to devise evaluative procedures and systems.
