Grants can play a significant role in the diversified funding portfolios of the most successful to newly formed nonprofit organizations. With the right expertise, you can more readily out-score other grantees.
Why hire a professional grant writer consultant? Among the most obvious reasons agencies hire grant consultants is to increase their odds of securing an award. Grant professionals with long-standing client relationships and extraordinary award rates, such as LAC Grant Consulting Services (LAC), bring acquired knowledge to the table that may otherwise take agencies years to obtain. Once approved, with some initial consultation by LAC, renewal applications can be handled independently. LAC helps her clients get noticed by the funder quickly while coaching them to build their own grant development skills to reach their goals.
Is there another reason to hire a professional grant writer consultant? Besides adding a skill level that may be missing from the current development staff, grant consultants can provide a temporary, affordable, and highly effective solution during peak application times—and, for experts like LAC, the ability to move between complex subject matters and geographic locations is seamless.
Whether it's to bolster an existing grant department or build a new one where none existed, it's good to know where to find the expertise you need—quickly—and with the assurance of a quality product.
“If you think hiring a professional is expensive, wait until you hire an amateur.” — Red Adair
The Three Faces of LAC Below:
“It simply gets harder each year to raise money. One obvious reason is the growth of worthy organizations competing for the charitable dollar. But probably the more overlooked reason is that more and more fundraisers are better at what they do. So, not only is there more competition, the competition is better.”
