Grant Activities and Funding Prospect Research
Like many nonprofit organizations, we struggled with finding the time to plan, write, submit and report on all the grants we were going after while also researching potential new funders. Lauren and her team were able to maintain all of the grant activities and conduct prospect research, and because of that, we have received several significant grants to help us in our important work. Working with Grants Plus really allows me to focus on “big picture” fundraising and our mission work, knowing that our grants program is being handled diligently and by people who care.

Project Development and Finding Funders
ORCA House is a small nonprofit organization and we didn’t have a dedicated development staff person when we first started working with Grants Plus. We knew we needed to hire a staff person focused on fundraising, but we weren’t sure how to go about finding the funding to do so. Grants Plus helped us formulate a realistic capacity building project and identify three potential funders to approach with the project—and two decided to fund it! We now have a person on staff who can dedicate time to grants and other fundraising projects and we have used Grants Plus less, but we remain grateful for their insight and help.

Prospect Research
As a consultant to a niche market of Catholic schools, it is important for me to have a network of people I can rely on for specialty services. We engaged Grants Plus to research and identify potential funders for several of our Catholic high school clients. They are very thorough in their work and have been successful in helping to identify several new funders for one of our clients. They helped package projects and programs together in a way that made sense and the school has been able to pursue some exciting and cutting edge new projects.

Managing Grant Seeking
Initially I was doubtful that an outside firm could prepare our grants on a regular basis, and I have been pleasantly surprised with how helpful Grants Plus has been. They have exceeded my expectations in managing our grant seeking, have not missed a beat and have done it at a lesser cost than a full time grant writer.

Grant Funding Assistance
We have used Grants Plus as an extension of our own small staff. There are times when we have needed someone to come in quickly and assist with one or more grant projects with tight deadlines. Grants Plus has been able to do this for us on several occasions. With their assistance, we have been able to position ourselves for funding opportunities which we may not have even considered before.
