Grant development and writing is the process of identifying, researching and applying for grants. Grant writing requires the ability to conduct in-depth analysis and research in order to advise clients which foundations, government agencies or corporations would be suitable to approach for their funding needs.

Contacting Affordable Grants is the first step to receiving the grant funds you need. Our convenient Assessment Form allows you to quickly and easily send us your basic information. Once we receive the information about your goals, funding requirements and 501(c)(3) status, one of our account managers will contact you.

As a next step, our grant writing experts have created a comprehensive questionnaire, which will be sent to you. This questionnaire is designed to provide our grant writers with the information they need to write a successful grant proposal and to aid your organization in continuing its humanitarian efforts. The more information you supply, and the more detail you submit, the easier it will be to develop a successful grant proposal.

Based on the information you provide in the questionnaire, Affordable Grants will then assign you a grant writer who is the best fit for your organization. Your grant writer will research applicable funding sources, develop a Letter of Intent, and write the grant proposal. Affordable Grants will submit the proposal to your organization, although you will then be responsible for submitting the proposal to the funder(s), as your initial step in developing a relationship with them. It is crucial that you cultivate good relationships with the organizations that provide grants, as of course, they will be very interested in knowing you and your organization more closely; after all, they are the ones who will be funding your project.

Keep in mind that all funders (government, public, and private) have very specific guidelines. The grant proposal must meet these guidelines to be considered for funding. Researching and writing for specific grant makers is one benefit of using an experienced grant writer from Affordable Grants.

Affordable Grants database of grant funders is extensive and comprehensive. Although it is not possible for any grant writer to guarantee that your grant proposal will be funded, we at Affordable Grants will do everything in our power to ensure that it is.
