A Professional Government Grant Writer is the cornerstone of every serious non-profit foundation...

We know the money’s there for us… we just need a government grant writer to find it—and write the grants. It is so important to contract a person who has learned how to write grants and who has the necessary certification.

That person has been trained to understand that program planning and grant planning are integrally linked.




Writes Sylvie McGee (©All For a Good Cause, 1995):

“Ideally, grant planning should be only one phase in the whole program development, program implementation, and evaluation cycle.

"Too often, it is treated as something separate and foreign. The best results in fund development will come when your grant and solicitation strategies are closely intertwined with your goals and program strategies. Build partners - not donors!

"Having said that, if you can answer the following questions, you will be well on your way to both solid program development and successful fund development."

  • What's the problem we are addressing? Remember - the problem is not your need - it's the community's need!
  • Who else is addressing, and what are the gaps in how it is being addressed? Gaps can be programmatic, population, time/seasonal, or material. Gaps are the reason that you have a need!
  • How are we proposing to address the problem? Paint a clear and specific picture of your program! Can your prospect see it in action in their mind?
  • How will things be different/will the problem be solved or improved, when you are done?
  • How will you know that you are succeeding? What will you measure in order to understand how you are doing and what needs to change or be adjusted?
  • What do you need in order to try to solve the problem?
  • This must tie to the approach you have described above. It's an opportunity to once again paint a picture of what you will be doing!

  • What resources do you already have? From whom? Don't forget volunteers, donations and in kind services. Show the community participation in your project. Project the image that the funder is joining a winning team, not boarding a sinking boat!

  • To obtain the best results, we highly recommend that you contract the services of a certified (professional) grant writer.
