We begin most of our engagements by surveying our client’s staff, program directors, and faculty to identify organizational strengths in the context of the grants climate and current funding trends. We then use this information to produce a memorandum proposing an overarching grants strategy for the organization.

We develop customized prospecting reports and funding strategies for many of our clients. We create in-depth profiles of government and foundation entities through analyses of grant criteria, Requests for Proposal, and past award winners.

To optimize your appeal to grantmakers, we provide guidance on ways to develop new programs and strengthen existing initiatives. We also provide consultative advice and memos to prepare our clients for conversations with government program officers and foundations.

We offer a complete suite of services that includes writing letters of inquiry, crafting full proposals, and the review and revision of previously submitted proposals.

In addition to our work responding to specific grant openings, we also monitor hundreds of grantmaking bodies, and apprise our clients in weekly emails of relevant funding opportunity announcements and news.

Based on consultation with a Hanover grants expert, we can provide customizable training in grant writing, development, and related functions relevant to the client’s sector and areas of interest through on-site workshops.
