“With very little notice…Julie met with [us] to design a
multi-million dollar program. Under extreme deadline pressure, she was
able to keep us on track while overseeing the entire grant process.
The challenge of working with individuals who did not always share common
ideas about the focus of the grant was one she handled efficiently and
tactfully. Her proposal resulted in an application that was highly scored
and funded..”
- John D. Larson, Manager
Santa Clara Valley Health and Hospital System
| What we do |
As our tagline says, we’re the grantwriting experts.
That means from the moment we meet, it is our job to put you at ease, to listen to your priorities and concerns, and plan an approach – whether it’s designing a new program or identifying potential funders – that both serves your needs and responds to a funder’s requirements.
We are the bridge between our client and the potential funder. We work closely with you to ensure a thorough understanding of your goals and desired outcomes. And when the time comes to put pen to paper (or these days, fingers to keys), you can rest assured that we are ready to describe in detail your program plan.
We also take pride in our outstanding time management capabilities. Whether we have 5 days or 5 weeks to develop, write and submit an application, we’ll develop a timeline that takes into account the demands of the application, the looming deadline, and our client’s bottom line.
In this way, we bring together our clients’ desires with those of the funder, creating a proposal that weaves a compelling story within the confines and structure of the funder’s application. This approach, developed and honed over time, has been very successful for us and our clients in the past 15 years, resulting in over $100 million in funding.
