The Affordable Grant Writing Process
Contacting Affordable Grants is the first step to receiving the grant funds for your non-profit organization. Our convenient Assessment Form allows you to quickly and easily send us your basic information. Once we receive the basic information about your goals, funding requirements, and 501(c)(3) status, one of our Affordable Grant account managers will contact you.
The grant experts at Affordable Grants have created a comprehensive questionnaire designed to provide our grant writers with the information they need to be able to write a Successful Grant - one that will provide your organization with enough funding to really get off the ground or be able to continue its humanitarian efforts. You will be sent a copy of this questionnaire and will be responsible for supplying all the information it requires. Once you have filled out all the information, you will be responsible for returning the completed questionnaire to Affordable Grants. The more information you supply and the more detail you submit, the easier it will be for your grant writer to create a successful grant.
Based on the information you provide in the questionnaire, Affordable Grants will assign a grant writer who is the best fit for your organization. You will work closely with your grant writer and develop a funding strategy that will include your financial goals and realistic expectation for the grant funding process. Your grant writer will research all applicable funding sources in order to increase your chances of funding. The grant writer will generate a list of possible grant makers and will draft a Letter of Intent (LOI). You and your organization will be responsible for submitting your LOI to the list of grant makers. Once you and your organization receive a response to the LOI, your grant writer will determine where to submit your grant proposals.
It is crucial that you develop a good relationship with the organizations who provide grants. After all, they are the ones who will be funding your project. The next step on the process is for your grant writer to create a rough draft of your grant proposal. A copy will be sent to you for your approval. Once you approve the draft, a final daft will be generated and sent to you. You will be responsible for submitting the proposal to the potential funders from the list provided to you by your grant writer.
Keep in mind that all funders, government, public, and private, have very specific guideline concerning which organization they will fund and how the money may be spent. For the most part, all grant makers have very structured templates they follow when writing your grant proposal. If the guidelines and templates are not closely monitored, the chance of receiving grant funding will be greatly reduces. One of the benefits of using the services of an experienced grant writer from Affordable Grants is their knowledge of the process.
The Internet is filled with spam, web sites, and advertisements for groups that offer "Free Money" and "Grants for Everyone". The majority of these groups are not true grant writing services. They will sell you information so you can write and submit your own grants. Unless you are an experienced grant writer, you will not be successful. That’s why you need Affordable Grants. We are experienced. We are honest. We are here to help.
