Grant Writing
One of the most time consuming and challenging tasks that nonprofits face is grant writing. Peggy is a skilled and successful grant writer who is able to clearly articulate what you want to do, why it matters, and how the funder knows that you can deliver on what you have promised.
"Peggy has great organizational, communication, and facilitation skills. When you work with her, she spends time upfront understanding your issues, and then plans a very tailored, not cookie cutter, response for your organization, whether it is grant writing, facilitating board/staff strategic planning, staff workshops, etc. "
--Helen Taft, Executive Director, Families First of the Greater Seacoast
What kinds of grants have you written? Peggy has written a wide variety of successful grants from small single-project applications to local foundations to the work she did as a part of a grant-writing team on a large multi-year federal grant.
What is a case statement? A case statement is a document answers all of the questions most commonly asked by funders in grant applications. The document serves as a "core" from which you can "cut and paste" sections for a variety of grant applications. Contracting with Peggy to create a case statement can be a very cost-effective way to reduce the time you spend on grant writing - not just for one grant, but for the many grants you may write over the course of a year.
Will you help us find potential funding sources? You are probably the best judge of which funding source is the best match for your organization. If you are new to grant writing and need a place to start, a great resource for funding funding sources is the Partnership for Effective Nonprofits at: http://www.partnershipforeffectivenonprofits.org/Funding.htm
have never written a grant before and would like someone to "walk you through the process."
When does it make sense to hire a grant writer instead of doing it myself? Consider hiring a grant writer if you…are applying for a large grant (over $20,000) where the cost of a grant writer may be well worth the effort.
are applying for the grant as a collaboration and need help pulling all the pieces together.
