Grant Writing
The Grant Advantage can write your federal, state, foundation, or corporate grant proposal from the beginning concept to the final submission. No project is too big or too small.
Program Development and Concept Papers
With few financial resources, many nonprofit organizations struggle to effectively communicate their programs to funders and the public. Because of this, The Grant Advantage will work one-on-one with your organization to ensure you have written resources that explain the critical elements in program development and most funding applications: background, need, objectives, approach, evaluation, and budget. With a concept paper in hand, you can economically tailor these documents to match the requirements of different funders without the ongoing expense of a grant writer.
Logic Models and Outcome Measurement Systems
The Grant Advantage can help your organization develop a logic model—a visual diagram that paints a picture of how you operate and demonstrates the outcomes you have on clients and/or the community. As logic models and outcome measurement are becoming more important to funders, this service is a great value to your organization.
Technical Review and Revision
If you have a proposal that is already developed that needs to be enhanced for greater impact, The Grant Advantage can help you revise and/or rewrite your application to include need data that paints a compelling story of your community and clients, enhanced objectives, better clarity, budget revisions or justifications, or improved outcome measurements.
Comprehensive Funding Searches
Many organizations wonder what funding sources exist that best match the vision and mission of their organizations. To help answer this question, The Grant Advantage conducts extensive searches of federal, state, and foundation funds available to help organization fulfill their goals and objectives. A detailed report of funding sources will be created with recommendations for future actions.
Workshops, Trainings, and Webinars
The Grant Advantage conducts workshops and webinars to meet the needs of nonprofit organizations in addition to serving as the lead trainer for the Mountain State Leaders Program (a program designed to teach all of West Virginia’s full time AmeriCorps members how to be active in the community change process).
