    Grant Writing and Research

    The INS Group does not take a “cookie cutter” approach to grant writing. Each grant application is individually tailored to meet our client’s needs. The INS Group accomplishes this by:

    • Developing a core proposal – summary statement, introduction, statement of problem or need, goals and objectives, methodology, evaluation, budget and future funding
    • Writing ongoing proposal submissions
    • Critiquing and editing proposals written by staff
    • Determining the appropriate requests and best strategies for approaching private and corporate foundations
    In preparation for the construction of a successful grant proposal, we provide comprehensive grant research by:
    • Identifying corporate and private foundations that match with the nonprofit’s programs and the grantor’s funding priorities
    • Providing names of the sources, contact information, required format/procedure, application, proposal, suggested request amount, due date
    • Creating a work plan and timetable for submission of grant proposals
