Grant Writing

Grant writing is a professional discipline that is crucial to success in grant fundraising.  Applications for grants from philanthropic, foundation, federal and state, or corporate giving programs are exacting. They demand a high level of precision, accountability, and professionalism. Applicants are required to provide dockets of materials that include: letters of intent, itemized project and organizational budgets, legal documentation, extensive second stage proposals, and detailed post grant reports. To succeed, the materials must tell a narrative that is compelling. They must present your organization as unique among the tens or hundreds competing for your grant.
