Identification and Research of Prospective Funders
I have access to the top-of-the line, most current funder research available. The best program and proposal don’t stand a chance in the hands of the wrong funder. I will profile prospects interested in your project.

Preparation of Proposal Calendars
I will prepare a full-year schedule to enable you to solicit your most likely prospects first, meet all deadlines, and plan to fulfill your financial goals for your program(s).

Letters of Inquiry/Intent Development
These letters are often required by funders so they can determine if they’re interested in receiving a full proposal from you. Short and sweet, you don’t have a lot of room to “sell” your project!

Grant Proposal Development
I take your program and your vision and translate them into language and a format that provides funders with what they are looking for when they decide who gets their grants. My forms and outlines make it easy for you to educate me about your project.

Reviewing/Editing Your Documents
I will critique your proposals, brochures, event invitations, newsletters, direct mail letters, annual reports, and/or web site and give you valuable feedback that will strengthen their appeal to funders and other donors. My sharp eye has saved my clients much embarrassment by catching mistakes before they go to the printer!

Creating Attachments
I will format your budgets (which, along with audited financial statements, are necessary for your proposals to be considered by funders), develop attractive Board and Key Staff rosters, and create complete professional-looking packages.

Preparation of Grant Reports
Accurate and honest reports are often required to obtain grants from the same sources again. I will work with your program and finance staff to share your successes and lessons learned with your funders.

Coaching
I will assist you in any grantseeking matter through personalized, patient teaching. This includes training your staff and volunteers, explaining the process, and answering your questions – no need to be embarrassed!

Development Planning
Together we will create a well-rounded plan using a number of techniques -- direct mail, major and planned gifts, events, memberships, online fundraising -- to meet your financial goals.
