We provide comprehensive grant writing assistance whereby we help schools access funding they need to support innovative programs, initiatives, and projects that enhance student learning, improve educational outcomes, and promote school success. We support schools with the following:
- Grant Research and Identification: Identify relevant grant opportunities that align with the school’s needs, goals, and priorities. Ex: government grants, foundation grants, corporate sponsorships, and other sources of funding in the education sector.
- Needs Assessment: Collaboratively conduct a needs assessment to identify specific areas where grant funding is needed.
- Grant Proposal Development: Collaboratively develop comprehensive grant proposals involving crafting compelling narratives, outlining project plans, detailing budgets, and demonstrating alignment with grant requirements and evaluation criteria.
- Budget Development: Assist in developing detailed budgets, including itemized expenses, projected revenues, and cost-sharing arrangements while ensuring that budgets are realistic, well-supported, and in compliance with grant guidelines.
- Partnership Development: Identify potential partners and collaborators within community organizations, businesses, universities, or other entities to strengthen grant proposals and increase the likelihood of funding success.
- Grant Application Submission: Provide guidance and support throughout the grant application submission process, including ensuring that all required documentation, forms, and attachments are completed accurately and submitted on time.
- Grant Management Assistance: Assist in establishing systems and processes for managing grant funds, tracking project progress, and reporting outcomes to grantors. Help develop monitoring and evaluation plans to measure the impact of grant-funded activities and ensure accountability.
- Grant Compliance Support: Provide guidance on compliance with grant requirements, regulations, and reporting obligations. Help schools understand their responsibilities as grant recipients and implement procedures to maintain compliance throughout the grant period.
- Grant Writing Workshops and Training: Offer workshops, training sessions, or webinars to build the capacity of school staff in grant writing and grant management skills. Provide tips, strategies, and best practices for developing successful grant proposals and securing funding opportunities.
- Evaluation and Reflection: Facilitate post-grant evaluation and reflection processes to assess the effectiveness of grant-funded activities, identify lessons learned, and make recommendations for future grant-seeking efforts. Use evaluation findings to improve grant writing strategies and strengthen future grant proposals.
