When You Want More—Because it's Not “Grant Writing”

Successful grant development is about the thinking, not just writing the grant proposal. We help you tackle program planning which is focused on your beneficiaries so that you have the most effective framework for creating compelling proposals that get funded. You learn how to master powerful research tools and logic models, and to build partnerships for maximum impact. You also learn about clear, direct writing and how to submit your proposal, whether on paper or electronically, to grantmakers who have demonstrated a commitment to your type of work. Our approach, deep and comprehensive, is the most gratifying—because it works!
