MASTER GRANT APPLICATION^™

More than just a template, with our Grant Ready Packages, our expert staff will write this document for you based on information provided by your ministry.  Instead of developing a proposal in response to a specific RFP, we develop the MGA as a more generalized proposal which can be submitted as is to funding sources or can be modified to meet the individual requirements and expectation of each funding source.  We will use this document as a template as we begin applying to individual foundations and other funding sources.

Master Budget

A poorly developed budget can detract from an otherwise well written proposal.  A well thought out and properly developed budget is critical and this process helps accomplish this goal.  More than just a template, with our Grant Ready Package, our expert staff will write this document for you based on information provided by your ministry. 

MASTER Inquiry Letter

More than just a template, with our Grant Ready Packages, our expert staff will write this document for you based on information provided by your ministry. 

This is often the first contact with a funding source and can mean the difference between an invitation to apply and a polite “please try again in the future.”  We will masterfully produce this initial letter to ensure exceptional results.
