Project Development, Writing & Evaluation
Our team forms the nexus between an organization and potential grant funders. Key staff from inside your organization serve as part of the grant team - but we are your primary writers. We facilitate planning to develop achievable program outputs and outcomes, logic models, and realistic project budgets. We develop single proposals or robust grant writing programs. We craft strong narrative responses and lead you to the submission finish line.
Our most successful endeavors are in school districts where leadership is committed to a long-term partnership designed to build not only project narratives but community partnerships, unique services, and a commitment to the whole child.
Check out the FAQ page for a list of funders from whom we have captured competitive grants!
Our Services
