The Nonprofit Dilemma

​

Nonprofit leaders need grant writers and nonprofit consultants that understand your needs,  can work within your team and understands your quirks, and tells your story in your voice.   It is hard enough running a nonprofit organization.  It's even harder to find the right partner to help find and win grants.  The frustration of not being able to find this support is mind-boggling.

Funders don't want to see nonprofits rush to submit applications without much time, energy or strategy invested.  Having a person in your corner with specific knowledge to help design a big picture strategy improves your organizational effectiveness and increases your grant funding. 

​

Nonprofits need a trusted partner to provide end-to-end support without having to hire multiple firms to get the job done.  Currently, after someone researches and writes the grant, nonprofit organizations have to figure out how to manage it, complete funder required reports, implement the evaluation plan, and write an evaluation report.  This can be a lot for any nonprofit, expensive to outsource, and a lot of people to engage.

​

Having grant writers and nonprofit consultants with specialized knowledge helps nonprofits concentrate on activities that will move the needle to get results in the least amount of time. The outcome is the submission of competitive proposals generating a consistent flow of grant wins month after month. 

 

Many organizations across the country are unknowingly making the same mistakes over and over again wasting valuable time and precious resources.
