Yes, money for non-profits is getting tight, and the worst may be yet to come. So now is the time to get your grant requests completed and submitted to foundations for funding! Don’t wait until your organization is drowning before you look for the life ring. The money is out there, you just have to make an effort to get your share.
My mission is to provide superior grant and related development consultation services in an ethical and effective manner. I adhere to the ethical standards and guidelines of the American Association of Grant Professionals (AAGP).
I produce professionally prepared, thoroughly researched, and highly-targeted proposals, proposal letters, budgets, and letters of intent.
I research foundations, prioritize opportunities, develop and monitor submission calendars, and maintain a database of foundation communications and grant histories.
When requested, I guide clients through a strategic planning and program development process to generate a comprehensive grant plan.
I communicate with a clear purpose and write in a compelling style to build enduring relationships.

While I have really enjoyed having a forum for my own personal thoughts and ideas, I have decided that I need to make this website more oriented towards the services I offer - primarily business writing and grant writing for non-profits. So from now on, my blog posts will focus on non-profit fundraising, business writing concepts, and other topics that may be of interest to businesses and non-profit organizations. I hope those of you who have been following my musings have enjoyed what I have shared with you in the past.
A while back I made fun of the Pulse Smartpen and my post apparently got the manufacturer’s attention. So they offered to share some video demos of their product, along with a discount. I figure giving them some free press is the least I could do. Though, I still think I could write a better review if I had one of these of my own to try out. <grin>

I’ve been really busy this week, so this goes out belatedly, but congratulations President-elect Barack Obama! Yay!
