While many organizations are tempted to jump into the grant process without much preparation, identifying potential funding sources and assessing grant readiness are crucial first steps to finding the money they deserve. My four-step process gives clients a strategic funding roadmap for the next 12-18 months so they don't have to second-guess the path to grant funding. With the roadmap, clients will have everything they need to apply for funding themselves, or we can contract to write the identified grants together. The process includes: 🧿Grant-readiness evaluation 🧿Targeted grant research 🧿Competitiveness research 🧿Written funding strategy With over 20 years of research experience, a graduate degree in Criminal Justice, and grant writing certification, I am uniquely qualified to assist organizations in tackling today's complex social issues. One client even calls me her "secret strategic weapon." Let’s schedule a 20-minute Discovery Call to see if working together is a good fit. If so, I’ll send a detailed proposal outlining timelines, deliverables, and costs after the call.
