Proposal Writing

With pens and swords alike, sharp works best; at New England Grant Works we craft tightly focused, well written proposals that deliver the case for your program with maximum impact. Based on the philosophy that the closer a request aligns with a funder's mission, the more likely it is to be granted, we look first at the grantmaker's goals, then show precisely how your program meets them. Combined with thorough attention to detail and a concise, engaging style, our approach scores maximum points.

Proposal Editing

If your proposal just needs the critical eye of a writer before you submit it, we'd be happy to review it and offer our suggestions.

Funding Research

Of the tens of thousands of funding sources out there, where should you apply? Your best chances are with the agencies and foundations that share your goals. New England Grant Works can search on your behalf for promising grants. We provide a funding research report with compatibility scores, grant sizes, proposal deadlines, mission summaries and contact information. We also monitor calls for proposals and alert you to opportunities.

Program Evaluation

More and more, grantmakers demand to see measurable results, which means numbers. If you have yet to define metrics to measure success, or if you don't have a system to capture data, we can help implement a practical scheme and train users. Your proposals will score higher when you promise to report progress towards measured objectives.

Online Presence

Those who don't know your organization go online to check you out. How do you look? Is your website current? Do you maintain your profile on GuideStar? Should you be taking advantage of social media sites like LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter? We can polish up your online presence, perform light-duty web design and maintenance, and optimize your website to boost its ranking in search results.
