GRANT WRITING
With interests as varied as the scope of nonprofit organizations who turn to them for support, foundations offer a significant resource for donated revenue. Yet several factors often prevent organizations from maximizing the fund-raising potential of foundations; these include an inability to research, develop and write effective grant proposals and a misunderstanding of the importance of matching a foundation’s interest with the organization’s mission. Not all organizations have the staff expertise to effectively overcome these barriers. Conway Company has a well-respected team of grant writers and donor researchers who can draw on years of experience working with foundations to provide comprehensive grant research and writing services to clients.

Conway Company consultants have found that those organizations most successful in securing grants have well-written proposals produced by professionals. Conway offers clients the following three-step process to aid in achieving that success:

• An environmental scan of the philanthropic landscape
• The ability to match an organization’s niche or service to the interest of a foundation
• The creation of a customized, well-written grant proposal clearly articulating the match between the organization’s mission and the foundation’s interest

With decades of fund-raising experience, Conway consultants have extensive knowledge of the regional philanthropic climate and a reputation for creating grant proposals which are complete and based on appropriate research. Conway consultants are also known for their expertise in determining and requesting an amount likely to be granted.

Conway Company offers grant-writing as a stand-alone service to organizations seeking to enhance their ongoing fund-raising capabilities or within the context of a major capital campaign.
