We thought about how many needs a company or organization has and then took stock of the many partners we have with the skills and talents that are necessary for today's business climate. It turned out to be a no-brainer.
M Rodgers - FCS - Freelance Collective Services - the partnering of skill-sets needed by people like you, in a one-stop, integrated format. Commercial Photography, Wordsmithing, Grant Services, Fundraising, and a great deal more can be found under one roof with partners that work together on a regular basis.
Our services cater to start-up organizations and businesses, nonprofit groups, the sole proprietorship in need of support staffing, and the cost-conscious. Why take on the additional burden of benefits, taxes, and other expenses when you can get the job done through a project-based program?
That's where M Rodgers - FCS comes in.
We’re entering and extremely challenging fundraising year. Here are a few questions to ask yourself:
- Have you missed a deadline for submitting a grant proposal lately because you are simply too busy?
- Are you submitting grant proposals without the 'due diligence' you know you should be doing: (without studying the grantmaker's latest IRS filings, and without staying current on the changing nuances of their grantmaking focus)?
- Do Board Members regularly suggest "getting a grant" as the answer to emerging financial needs, with no in-depth knowledge of what funding partners may be possibilities?
- Are you intimidated by Grant Application questions, or other elements of a strongly competitive grant proposal, i.e.: Quantifiable Objectives, Outcome Evaluation Methodologies, Performance Indicators, Financial Sustainability Strategies, and Time Lines?
Again, from a time-management standpoint, sometimes it's simply common sense to outsource very labor-intensive aspects of your workload. Grantwriting consultants keep extensive records on their experiences with foundations. Past successful and even unsuccessful grant proposals can provide a deeper view of possible biases and leanings that are not necessarily included in a foundation's published criteria.
Foundation research to uncover prospective grant opportunities, when done correctly, is a tedious laborious exercise for a nonprofit organization. An experienced grantwriter performing a significant volume of grant proposals has time-saving advantages.
MRodgers - FCS can complete your project without you having to incur the additional expenses. And, you'll realize the professional results you and your business or organization needs, created by a passionate collective of talented resources. It only takes one call, one e-mail.
