Grant Writing

At ERI, we specialize in delivering comprehensive grant writing services designed to maximize your chances of securing funding. Our team supports grant writing for nonprofits, educational institutions, municipalities, and health organizations by aligning each proposal with program goals and funder priorities.

Our Process Includes:

Detailed Consultation: We start with an in-depth consultation to understand your goals, projects, and funding needs, ensuring alignment with your objectives. This step helps define your mission statement, establish clear goals and objectives, and identify stakeholder engagement strategies.
Thorough Research: Our team conducts extensive research to identify the most relevant and viable grant opportunities matching your mission and projects. We perform background research on funders, including their compliance requirements and timeline for funding, to improve proposal targeting.
Professional Writing: Our experienced writers craft persuasive, well-structured grant proposals that highlight your organization's strengths and align with funding requirements. We incorporate essential elements like a compelling cover letter, detailed budget proposal, logic model, and implementation plan.
Review and Feedback: We thoroughly review each proposal for accuracy, clarity, and compliance, providing constructive feedback for refinement. This includes alignment with the funder’s assessment criteria, submission deadlines, and metrics for success.
Submission and Follow-Up: We manage the submission process, ensuring deadlines are met and all required documents are included, and follow up with funders as needed. We also assist with drafting a letter of intent when required for foundation funding.
Success Tracking: After submission, we track the progress of each application and provide detailed reports, analyzing performance metrics to improve our strategies. Our reporting requirements cover donor relations, technical assistance outcomes, and long-term sustainability planning. We help our clients build institutional support by offering training workshops and guidance on partnership development for future funding rounds.

Evaluations

At ERI, we ensure your grant proposals meet program guidelines and objectives through a comprehensive evaluation process. While this process may vary slightly due to the size and complexity of the evaluation requests, each of our evaluations typically includes:

Initial Review: We begin by verifying that all required components are present and that the proposal aligns with the funder’s guidelines. This step includes confirming the inclusion of a clear mission statement and a well-defined project timeline.
Criteria Assessment: Next, we ensure the proposal addresses the specific goals and priorities outlined by the funder. We align each application with appropriate impact assessment strategies and clearly defined logic models to strengthen its effectiveness.
Content Evaluation: We carefully evaluate the content for clarity, coherence, and persuasiveness. This includes assessing how well the proposal communicates its goals and objectives and whether it outlines a practical plan for monitoring and evaluation.
Budget Analysis: Our team reviews the proposed budget for both realism and compliance. We confirm that the allocation of funds is clearly explained and that the sustainability plan supports long-term implementation in line with the funder’s expectations.
Compliance Check: We conduct a thorough compliance check to ensure the proposal adheres to formatting standards and submission requirements. This includes verifying all technical documentation and confirming consistency with funder guidelines.
Feedback and Revisions: We provide detailed, constructive feedback and assist with revisions to enhance the proposal’s quality. This process often incorporates insights from the review process or previous submission rounds to improve the final version.
Final Review: In the final stage, we confirm that all necessary changes have been made and that the proposal is ready for submission. This includes preparing follow-up reports and identifying key metrics for success to support post-award evaluation.

Our meticulous evaluation process enhances your chances of securing funding. By refining every component—from the letter of intent to the final narrative—we increase the likelihood of successful award management.
