    Quick Start Grants Package

    Not sure where to start? Consider a Quick-Start Grant Package, which includes:

    • Foundation Scan of 10 local and national foundations/corporate foundations that have the best potential to be a strong match for your organization. The report ranks and prioritizes those foundations you may want to move to the top of your list. A broader listing of up to 100 other funding opportunities will also be included.
    • Phone Consultation to review the Foundation Scan and recommendations as to who your organization’s top three prospect foundations might be along with manageable next steps to increase your success rate.
    • Add on options include assistance in developing or reviewing your grant applications. Often these can become templates that you can use on your own as a starting point with other grant applications.
