Consultant Services
Jump Start Your Grant Program!
This is a great option for smaller nonprofits
It can take hours to find even a few good prospects, who has time for that?
-
No problem! I will conduct a comprehensive search and compile a spreadsheet of prospects for $1,125 (average of 15 hours to complete) You can use this list to plan and apply for grant prospects. Unlike many other consultants, I do not limit the number of prospects I identify. For most entities, I'm able to find 20 to 30 prospects.
Still need more help? You got it!
-
For an additional $1,200 I will create a Case Statement and Proposal that includes sections typically found in grant applications. Once completed, the document is yours to use.
Ongoing Grant Services
A great option for nonprofits that need ongoing support but are not large enough to hire an in-house grant writer.
Best Value - Ongoing grant prospecting and grant submissions $1,900 a month for 20 hours. For 20 hours a month I submit an average of four applications each month.
ROI for clients with this service averages five to one, i.e. funding received is five times my fee!
This service includes initial creation of a prospect list; prospecting occurs ongoing and the prospects are continually updated.
Large Projects and Federal Grants
Have a federal grant or big project you need help submitting?
I am happy to prepare a scope of work per project. Total costs will not exceed the agreed upon amount; hourly rate is $100 with an average cost of $4,000 for a federal proposal.
I have submitted to a wide variety of federal agencies including USDA,EDA, EPA, BJA, DOE (Education), DOE (Energy) DOT, HRSA, VA, ACF, HUD, SAMHSA, NFWF and AmeriCorps (CNCS), please see experience for awards I have helped obtain.
I have demonstrated success in identifying and obtaining grants for capital projects as well.
Training
I have provided grant writing training to a variety of groups on a variety of topics including how to find and assess grant opportunities, basic grant writing skills, advanced grant writing, and writing for federal grant opportunities. Please see experience for prior trainings I have provided.
I am happy to provide training for your group! Please contact me to discuss your needs. Trainings are usually provided virtually; I will prepare a scope of work for the training to be offered.
Some comments from attendees - "Great presentation style! Informative and interesting." and "I am a beginner and have never been involved in grant writing. I now know where to start, what questions to ask, and where to get help!" and "Carolyn answers questions well and honestly. I think she has useful insights."
