Grant Writing

We discover new corporate, foundation, and government prospects and develop winning proposal strategies. Using industry search tools, we find potential funders for your programs, projects, and capital requirements. We align your priorities with the interests, location, and history of potential funders. We offer strategies for relationship-building, concept development, writing, and solicitation. You’ll receive a 12-month prospect calendar, a lead list, and a project management tool to streamline the grant writing process.

Winning a grant requires more than a great program—it’s about demonstrating the merit of your project and convincing funders that their investment is worthwhile. Building donor relationships also increases your chances of success.

Each grant request needs a tailored strategy that aligns with the grantor’s interests, clearly showcases impact, and conveys the value of your work. Our design phase involves bringing your team together to develop concepts, strategies, and program designs. Through discovery, we learn about your programs and culture, enabling us to effectively communicate your work. With over 75 years of combined grant-writing experience, we know how to make your grant application stand out and tailor it to different purposes and funders.
