SERVICES > Grant and Proposal Development
Objective: Developing customized proposals for private foundations can
yield substantial results and generate additional gift income from within
as well as from outside our communities. Putting together an overall
presentation on our organization and specific case for support allows us to
then focus those elements of the proposal in compliance with the needs
and requests of a private foundation. This level of customization and
experience of our firm is combined to maximize support from these types
of organizations.
Elements of the Service
- Gathering background and current information on the institution, its mission, credentials and statistical data
- Compilation of facts about the specific project and the community healthcare needs it will meet
- Assembling all of the information about an institution and its fundraising project into a compelling "case for support"
- Customizing the case for support for each individual foundation request to ensure that it meets the timing, guidelines and restrictions that are stated
- Accompanying hospital or foundation personnel on visits to foundation if part of the application process and appropriate to the situation
- Researching top foundation prospects
- Developing "frequently asked questions" and answers
Expected Outcome
A well constructed case for support will effectively increase results from
private foundations. In addition, the case for support can also be
effectively used for corporate and individual donors when there is a need
to present a higher level of background and detail on an institution and its
projects. This process of "doing our homework" has become more of a
necessity in the competitive philanthropic environment.
