Grant Writing

The Matriculadies grantwriting practice is uniquely qualified to help your nonprofit find and secure grant funding. In an increasingly competitive funding environment, it is critical to build a business case for partner investment that shows a quantitative return. We take a management consulting and business case development approach to grantwriting, and our success proves this approach works. With over $500,000 in grant awards per year, we are confident we can help your organization meet its goals.

We are experienced in researching, preparing and submitting successful private, state and federal grant applications. We also help clients navigate the federal SAM/Grants.gov process to get your organization prepared to apply for federal funding opportunities.
