Non-profit grant
writing is one of the most difficult and confusing tasks that
an organization can be faced with. The art of grant writing
is one of the most critical skills an organization can possess,
although many non-profits have never fully grasped the concept
of writing a truly engaging grant proposal.
In today’s difficult
economic times, securing grant funding is getting more and
more difficult. Especially when you consider that many granting
entities receive hundreds, sometimes thousands, of proposals
for a single award. How can you get your proposal to stand
out from the pack and have a significantly higher chance at
funding? Although your proposed cause may be very worthwhile,
the true secret to successful grant proposals
is not only what you say, but how you say it.
The professional
services offered by EcoVentures will make sure your organization’s
proposal is not only clear and concise, but compelling, appealing,
and informative.
Before an organization
can receive grant funding or even submit a proposal, it is
crucial that the best available funding opportunities are
first identified, and then analyzed to determine the chances
of success. The first step in this process is to open the
lines of communication and begin thoroughly discussing your
organization's funding needs based on both short and long-term
plans. After researching upcoming funding opportunities that
align with your organization’s needs, our team will develop
a full Prospective Grant Availability (PGA) report,
detailing opportunities for which your organization is eligible
to submit a proposal. This PGA report will be a streamlined
list of only the most appropriate grants currently open for
proposals that will reduce wasted time and resources for your
organization’s fundraising staff. Once the report is complete,
you will receive the report via email at which point we will
schedule a meeting (phone or face to face) to thoroughly review
your report and determine priorities. The timeline for completing
a PGA report is typically three to four weeks for most organizations.
Sometimes all
your grant proposal needs is an expert review from an outside
party. At EcoVentures, we offer technical reviews that include
a comprehensive overview and editing procedure that is performed
prior to your organization submitting the proposal to the
grantor. This technical review service is also available after
your proposal was declined for funding from the grantor.
EcoVentures grant
proposal writing services begin with an initial discussion
with your fundraising and/or programmatic staff to determine
which selling points to highlight for your proposed program.
Once our grant writing staff has a solid understanding of
your organization’s proposed program, we will begin laying
out a compelling grant proposal. Our grant writing services
include discussion of the grant program design with your staff
and any other program partners, initial submission of a letter
of inquiry (if applicable), development of the proposal narrative
and budget, and submission of the proposal to the grantor.
Through each step of the process, our team will communicate
through phone and email conversations so that the proposal
is accurate, detailed, and engaging.
Our proven track
record in the grant writing field will give your organization
the competitive edge it needs in today’s highly competitive
grant world. Contact
