Grant Consulting
How do you start to transform your organization's grant-seeking strategies?
Grant Consulting is the first step in getting strategic about finding and writing grants. Our Grant Consulting services include our popular Funder Relationship Cultivation support.
Our professional grant writers and grant consultants facilitate discussion and ask thoughtful questions to move you from where you are to where you want to be. We will help propel your organization and set you up for success for years to come.
Grant Research
Are you trying to figure out how to find and build relationships with your ideal funder?
This phase starts with finding the right grants to help you fund your programs.
Our Grant Research develops an initial list of foundation and government grant funders with a history of supporting organizations just like yours. We’ll take a comprehensive look at all the funders available to you and then match their giving history and what we know of them with your organization's initiatives.
Grant Writing
Wondering about the most effective way to win grants and find the perfect grant writer?
One thing you probably know is that funders are inundated with grant applications. So, naturally, finding a way to stand out is important. That’s why we use a specific formula using our Think and Ink Grants Grant Writing process. We handcraft each grant application to clearly position your organization's missions and initiatives as a prime candidate for foundations and government grant funders.
Grant Management
Where do most organizations drop the ball when receiving grant funding?
What we’re about to share is one of the biggest mistakes we see organizations make: Most organizations do not manage the funder relationship appropriately or set up the correct processes to keep funding relationships strong.
This is why our approach to Grant Management is a game-changer. Having a comprehensive grant management system in place and the importance of evaluating and reporting the success of your program. Completing reports on time is crucial to developing and maintaining a good relationship with funders. We do both.
Evaluations
What are evaluations, and why are they important?
Evaluations are required in many government grant applications. In these cases, our team of on-staff evaluators helps complete evaluation plans and execute them once they are funded.
