Are you struggling with these common problems?

 
  • No time to write grant proposals
  • Unclear proposal development process
  • Pressure to develop new programming for each grant
  • Difficulty tracking deliverables
  • Grants and contracts that don’t cover the full costs of your work
  • Forced to lay off staff when a grant expires

The bad news is there is no one-size-fits-all solution — every organization and every grant is different. The good news is I’ve spent years developing customized strategies for solving problems like these: efficient, individualized systems to make sure you get the most out of your grants.

Whether you're trying to create grant writing infrastructure for the first time; you've identified the perfect opportunity but need an expert to prepare the application; your team is struggling with communication and workflow challenges; or you need to do an in-depth analysis of your existing grants and contracts to plot your course to sustainable growth, I can help.

 
Our grants process is unquestionably a best practice because of Emma’s leadership. She truly understands our programs, our mission, and our vision for the future. Emma provided considerable expertise and strategic vision for the agency [that] resulted in an 80% approval rate for all grants submitted.
— Chuck Fernandez, CEO, Catholic Charities of the East Bay
I learned a lot in the process about questions to ask, how to better focus sections of the proposal, and how to be sure not to over-promise! Emma did an amazing job of keeping us on track despite the short timeline and I appreciate her ongoing communication and clear updates.
— Monika Parikh, Executive Director, Partnerships for Trauma Recovery
