AGWA Grant Writing Services

 

AGWA Grant Consulting Services accepts consultation requests from any U.S. business that has been operating and providing services.

  • Unfortunately, we do not accept requests from Individuals seeking grants for personal needs nor do we accept requests for educational scholarships. 
  • We do not provide services to new Business Start-Ups. Grant applicants should have other revenue sources.


Once we receive your information, we will contact you either by phone or e-mail the following business day and we will tell you if your business is a likely recipient of grant awards.   Our Client Relations Director will answer your questions about grants and inform you about our grant services and fees. 

A signed Client Agreement and payment by check must be received by AGWA prior to services commencing.

Business Participatation with the Grant Consultant
When a business hires a Grant Consultant to prepare a letter, proposal, or application for a grant award, there is a considerable amount of "EFFORT" that will still be required on the part of the business.  So, one person in the business should be designated as the point person to work with the Grant Consultant.  Typical responsibilities of the business that must be accomplished in a timely manner will include the following:
  • Registration with the System for Award Management (SAM) will be required and must be maintained annually (if applying for a Federal grant) 
  • Provide the Annual Organization Budget for current year 
  • Provide the Project Budget (summary budget plus line item details for the Budget Narrative)
  • Provide a  Summary of project to be funded (services to be provided as well as scope of services, target population description, geographic service area, project staffing plan
  • Provide Resumes of Key Personnel
  • Provide Information for any forms required by the Grantmaker
  • Reviewing documents prepared by the Grant Consultant; this review process may be repeated several times during the writing process
  • Actual online submission or mailing of the letter, proposal or application to the Grantmaker
