Board
Fundraising Training
In this training session,
attending nonprofit board
members achieve a common vision,
an understanding of their
structure and decision making
process and insight as to their
own liability and
accountability. Training

- "Fundraising 101"

The INS Group facilitates this training as a one full-day or one-half day session.
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
