Grant Writing
Focus Fundraising´s grant writing team will work with you to develop compelling grant proposals and support every stage of the funding process—from conducting research and drafting letters of intent to creating tailored outreach emails, grant proposals, funder reports, and meeting strategies. We can also help you create impactful presentations to engage program officers and funders effectively.“As a grant consultant, I craft compelling narratives and strategies that align with funders’ missions. Working externally lets me bring fresh, creative approaches to your programs, services, and goals to help secure new and renewed support.”

“Private foundation support is more important than ever. My expertise in grant writing helps clients secure funding that supports their work and will ultimately make an impact in local communities and in projects around the country.”

Annual Appeals
Whether you do one, two, or many appeal campaigns per year, we help you craft multi-channel efforts to share impact stories, connect with supporters, and increase donations. In our appeal work, we create unique messaging strategies to bring your recent accomplishments to light and enable your supporters to learn about your successes and understand your challenges. Whether you’re expanding grassroots support, targeting mid-level donors, or sending personalized communication to your major donors, we help you determine the right messages to ensure continued and increased donations. We also help you use your social media channels to expand your reach and link to influencers who can help amplify your cause.“Focus’ years of fundraising experience, vast knowledge of the industry, creativity, extensive skill set, network, and can-do attitude add up to success. I have personally very much enjoyed working with the Focus Fundraising team and highly recommend their services! In fact, when my board asked me why our year-end giving was up by over 35%, I said it was because we followed Focus’ sound advice!”
