Grant Writing & Design
Evaluation
We offer unique design formulas that integrate your organization's needs and wants into the grant proposal. Alongside your Design Team, we create a customized design that fuses innovation and research seamlessly, providing you with a professional quality grant. We fully develop all narrative and budget components and submit it to the funding agency on your behalf once finished (if allowed permission/access to online account). We also aid in attaining valuable supporting documentation, sometimes required, that gives your proposal the edge in what can be a very fierce competition for funding.
We do not simply offer evaluation services for an organization's program from an external viewpoint but offer key-points of revision and refinement. Our evaluation methods vary and adapt according to the developmental phase of your program. Evaluations include qualitative and quantitative methods.
Let us explore grant availability and suitability for your organization through an array of federal, state, and foundation grants. We then narrow the search, isolate the best candidate and proceed to develop the grant application from there.
