Hello.
As a professional consultant and certified grant writer, I provide personalized grant writing services for a diverse range of organizations. My expertise will assist you in competing for both private and government grant funding programs. As a solo entrepreneur, I prioritize giving you the individualized attention you deserve. Rest assured, you are my top priority. To help me serve you best let's get started with a conversation about your goals and needs.
GRANT WRITING CONTRACTS
I offer ongoing contracts as part of my grant writing services for clients. These six-month to one-year agreements encompass a comprehensive range of grant writing tasks. This includes researching grant opportunities, crafting highly competitive grant proposals, and engaging in debriefs with foundations regarding rejected proposals. I prioritize building enduring relationships with foundations post-successful proposal submission. Through these contracts, I function not only as a writer but also as a consultant, dedicated to ensuring the sustained success of your grants program.
GRANT PROSPECT RESEARCH
I access subscription-based databases and meticulously sift through extensive lists of potential grants. From there, I curate a list of promising matches between grant-makers and your organization. This report can serve as a standalone resource for your in-house use or as a starting point for my assistance with grant writing.
FOUNDATION AND GOVERNMENT GRANTS
As a solo grant writing consultant, I work closely with your staff to develop compelling grant applications, proposals, or letters of inquiry for foundation grants. I meticulously ensure that each submission is competitive and comprehensive. Additionally, I take the lead in writing and submitting complex federal and state grants in close partnership with your team, ensuring that your narrative is robust and that your application package meets the rigorous standards set by the respective agencies.
GRANT MANAGEMENT
As a solo grant consultant, I assist recipients in navigating the post-award phase of federal grants. This involves overseeing grant partnerships, managing complex budgets and purchase orders, coordinating with staff, tracking performance metrics, and providing general oversight for grant implementation.
Government Grant Writing Experience INcludes Submission to
- United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)
- Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
- Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC)
- Legislative Bond Initiatives (LBI)
- Department of Energy
- Housing and Community Development Departments (Various State Levels)
- Congressional Community Funding Projects
In addition to government funding sources, I am experienced in writing successful grant applications to private philanthropic organizations, community foundations, and foundations.
My process is tailored to suit your needs and begins with a complimentary consultation call to assess grant readiness and discuss your organization’s objectives. From there, I, can determine if my skills and expertise align with your specific requirements.
IF WE DECIDE TO COLLABORATE ON A GRANT APPLICATION, HERE’S HOW IT WORKS:
ASSESS
We will work together to determine which projects you have that are “shovel ready” to proceed for finding funding. Once we identify those projects that are good grant candidates, both of us will begin searching for grant opportunities we can apply to. This is a collaborative process between both myself and your team.
RESEARCH
Once we’ve agreed on an a funding source, I conduct additional research to fill any gaps in your existing grant materials. This may involve gathering data on your client population, intervention, and other relevant aspects.
WRITE
Working closely with you or your designated point of contact, I craft the grant application to align with the funder’s guidelines and requirements.
REVIEW
Together, we review and refine the grant proposal, ensuring accuracy and relevance to your organization’s goals and objectives.
SUBMIT
While I can assist with the submission process, I often encourage clients to submit the grants themselves, allowing them to be the final point in the submission chain.
