My success rate recently has been 85 percent of requests funded. Anything over 50 percent is considered good in grant writing.

Bringing in grants requires someone to dedicate herself to working closely with your staff to understand your organization and its programs, researching and getting to know the potential donors, keeping track of all the details large and small, following instructions meticulously, articulating the best stories and facts in a compelling manner, and bringing it all together on time and accurately. 

It may not be possible for an employee of your organization to fit all those tasks into her schedule. Or she might not be able to provide all those skills. 

Grant writing can be a full-time job, but it doesn't have to be. It does require complete attention, though, even for a small organization. 

If you need an extra hand, give me a call!
