How Susan can help you.  A Sample Engagement

Does your organization want to apply for grants? Susan and her team of grant professionals can help you identify grantmakers and apply for grants. In the initial 10-20 hour consultation, we'll work with you to assess your organization's grant readiness, zoom-in on a project for which you'd like to raise funds and conduct research to see which funders' priorities might align with yours. If you have an existing proposal, we can review it and share how it can be improved/sharpened. If you have no proposal, we can share our experience about what is needed.
