Grant Writing / Development
Our services include team leadership, project management, research, writing and the development of compelling narratives and professionally presented grant applications. Lori’s ability to develop impactful grant applications leverages a career featuring more than 20 years of SBA-funded program experience and more than three decades of economic development expertise.
We can also help you identify promising grant opportunities.
Grant Reporting / Project Management
We excel at program implementation and reporting for successful awards – two aspects of grant funding which are often a challenge for recipients. This eliminates the need to find or train staff to manage programs and/or report on grant-funded initiatives. Our accountability reports highlight the successful utilization and impact of funds received and have received national Best Practice awards from the U. S. Small Business Administration (SBA) for content, narrative and compliance.
Fees
Our fees are based on project requirements, the size and scope of the targeted grant and the timeline of the project. The value that we add to your effort will be enormous.
Utilizing our services makes the most sense when pursuing grant awards of $100,000 or more – though successfully targeting and winning smaller awards (e.g. $50,000) from some funders can put your organization in a more favorable position for larger-value grants in the future. Getting a foot in the door is always a worthy goal. Visibility is valuable.
