Grants 101

Navigating the world of federal grants can be complex—but you don’t have to do it alone. Grants 101 is a comprehensive webinar series designed to guide individuals, nonprofits, and organizations through the federal, state, and local grant application process with clarity and confidence.



Grant Application Navigation

Finding a grant to address your project or concern is difficult. We identify those grants that best fit your project and create summaries to map out the process of grant application navigation which involves understanding the process of applying for grants, including what to add in an application, how to stay organized, and how to stand out.



Data Needs Assessments

What does your community data look like? We systematically gather and analyze data to identify gaps, priorities, and areas where information is lacking within your organization or project, essentially determining what data is needed to achieve specific goals and make informed decisions, by examining current data sources, collection methods, and data quality.

Data Mapping

Many municipalities and organizations do not have a means to map their data. We can assist you with identifying the data in your systems, extract it and load it into a mapping program to detail what is going on in the community.

Electronic Submission

Need help submitting your federal grant application electronically? Our experts provide step-by-step guidance on using systems like Grants.gov and SAM.gov, ensuring your submission is complete, compliant, and on time.

Proposal Review

Before you hit submit, let us help you strengthen your grant proposal. Our team offers detailed reviews to ensure your narrative, budget, and attachments align with funding requirements and clearly communicate your project’s impact.

Grant Narrative Review

Writing your narrative can be difficult. We provide critically evaluation of the story and details presented within the narrative section of a grant application, assessing the clarity, logic, and persuasiveness of the project's goals, objectives, methods, expected outcomes, and overall impact, to determine if the proposed project is well-articulated and worthy of funding.

Grant Management

Once you are awarded the grant, we help you manage the grant from budgets to milestones. From managing awarded funds, ensuring compliance with grant terms, and reporting on project outcomes to the grantor, all with the goal of utilizing grant money efficiently and effectively to achieve the intended goals of the project.

Grant Reporting

When the grant is completed the grant reporting begins. From outlining how the funds from a grant were used, the progress made on the project, the outcomes achieved, we will help to demonstrate compliance with the grant's terms and conditions.
