Grant Research and Prospecting
Using optimized search engines, we find funding opportunities by donor, topic, technology, process, or focus areas, eligibility, the total funding available, and matching fund requirements.
Concept Paper and Proof of Concept
Many donors require you to submit a concept paper to qualify for a grant. It must be concise, compelling, and convincing, telling the project's story — the problem to be solved, what it is, how it works, its benefits, and how it meets the grant's eligible uses, objectives, and goals. It's your foot in the door and needs to be expertly written.
Project Description or Technical Volume
This is the lynchpin of the application or proposal. Titled differently by agencies depending on whether the grant focuses on research and commercialization, acquisition, or construction, for example. It expands the concept to up to 25 or more pages written in detailed, technical or scientific "jargon" familiar to the donor agency and industry. It details your project's goals, history, merits, justification, targeted technology, service, or product, and how it will solve problems, citing supportive research and experience.
Community Benefits and Support, Workforce, and Environmental Justice
We use the proprietary Eco-Scan tool and a wealth of experience to narrate and visually present data to address these grant volumes, which have become as important as the technical volume in determining who wins federal grants.
Budget, Schedule, and Reporting
We know the rules and requirements governing grantmaking and complete necessary documentation points, including budgets, the work program and schedule, milestones and decision points, reporting and compliance, and other required elements.
