Grant
writing is a highly technical business, especially when applying
for government grants. Having spent weeks laboring over some proposal,
your nonprofit may find it has not even gotten its foot in the
door: You are told that the proposal was not "in compliance,"
which is to say that it was not even read throughout by the grant
reviewer because of a technical flaw. Perhaps you went over the
page limitation. Perhaps you omitted to answer a particular question.
Or forgot to staple on a crucial attachment. Whatever the flaw,
the overworked reviewer, faced with a stack of 50 similar applications,
simply put yours aside.
In addition to being expert grant writers, IGS staff have experience
as grant reviewers for the U.S. Health Resources and Services
Administration (HRSA) and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC). We know what reviewers are looking for in
a proposal. As a result, we can and will guarantee that your proposal
will be in compliance. That's the all-important first milepost.
It's just a pity that relatively few nonprofits even get this
far.
Beyond government applications, IGS can devise proposals for
submission to private and corporate foundations, too. IGS brings
the same attention to detail to this task as it does to devising
government proposals. IGS makes liberal use of graphs, tables
and photos, knowing that, if you don't get the reviewer's attention,
you are unlikely to get his or her funding.
InterGroup Services specializes in helping you. It's that simple.
