Grant Research &
Funding Strategy
Are you tired of losing hours searching Google and GuideStar to find or understand grant opportunities for your 501(c)3?
Does finding funding for your nonprofit seem like an impossible, never-ending task?
When searching for grants on your own, you'll quickly discover that each funder has their own funding priorities, unique application, and specific rules for applying. It's easy to lose hours and days trying to find the information you need when you don't know what you're looking for.
And time is money when it comes to nonprofit fundraising.
Save your valuable time.
Let The Grant Writing Consultants create a map to help you be successful in seeking grants--especially when your time and funding are limited.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will you guarantee that I will receive funding from the prospects you provide?
While The Grant Writing Consultants will provide you with 8-12 thoroughly researched grant opportunities that are well-aligned to your organization's programs and funding needs, we do not guarantee that you will receive funding as a result of our work for your organization. The most instrumental part of grant seeking is building and fostering relationships with the people you want to fund your organization. The list of grant funders we share with you are high quality prospects of people who want to hear from you.
It can be easy to forget, since grants are an intimidating type of fundraising, but grant funders are people too. They want to get to know you and the important work your organization is doing in your community! Reach out to them and build the connection--if they're on your grant prospect list, it's because they've supported causes like yours in the past!
