What You Can Expect When You Work With Us

• Communication that is timely, responsive, and courteous.
• Highly competent grantwriting that emphasizes in-depth prospect research, thorough information gathering, meticulous writing, world-class editing, and timely preparation.
• Given enough time, results that are financially and personally rewarding.

Prospect Research

• We will research funding prospects as a standalone service or in conjunction with our more comprehensive grantwriting services.
• We use Foundation Directory Online Professional, the gold standard among paid subscription databases, to identify the best possible matches in the funding community. We supplement this with Grantstation, another paid online database, and web-based research.
• We can use the results of our research to build and maintain a comprehensive web-based grant calendar that can be accessed and changed in real time by both you and us.

Grantwriting

• We write clear, precise, factual, readable grant proposals. We understand that simply presenting the right information isn’t enough. Successful grants connect with the reviewer on both emotional and rational levels. Decision-makers must understand and identify with your objectives and commitment.
• Our proposals present compelling narratives that focus on positive outcomes for the people who directly benefit from your organization’s work. Your audience – people who read dozens of proposals at a time – will appreciate the extra effort that goes into telling a story that marshals the facts and rivets attention on how and why your program or organization responds to a critical need.
• We recognize the importance of soft skills in the grantseeking process – the ability to listen, work with different personalities, and cultivate long-term relationships with foundation staff.

Editing

• We love to edit and understand that not everyone does or can do it well.
• We will edit virtually any materials you generate: grant proposals, annual reports, newsletters, brochures, planning documents, website content, etc.
• We appreciate the importance of deadlines and will turn around an editing job efficiently and quickly.
