Can You Afford Not to Pay for Consulting Services…

Get 20 Times or More What You Pay in Consulting Fees

One of the challenges I face is educating organizations of all sizes and all types about the value and cost savings they can realize by utilizing my consulting services. Let me clarify. If you were offered a deal in which you received a 100 dollar bill in exchange for a ten dollar bill, would you accept it? Of course you would right? As a grant funding and business proposal writer; that is basically what I specialize in. I get paid a fixed amount for one month, or sometimes for one year of work. During my time working, I prepare comprehensive proposals and grant applications, and typically apply for several Million dollars of funding for each organization that engages me. What is the result?

First of all, the organization benefits from expertise that they do not have. The organization doesn’t have to worry about adding to their payroll costs. All of the Human Resources time and expense is saved. There isn’t any ongoing cost or salary and benefit obligation. There isn’t any training expense; or added time cost. It is a very efficient process of obtaining expertise; executing a strategic plan of obtaining funding and grants; and only paying a fraction in fees to the contractor.

What kind of grants and funding? There are many different kinds. Grants and funding can be accessed from all levels of government: local, municipal, provincial, and federal. Grants and funding can also be accessed from various foundations and non-profit organizations. Knowing this is part of the process. Understanding the various grantors and decision-makers, and understanding what parts of a plan and proposal resonate in a successful funding decision; is the important piece an experienced contractor consultant provides.

Some grants and funding may take up to two or sometimes six months until a decision is reached. Some grants and funding are one time only. Some funding opportunities are seasonal; while some have multiple application intakes during the year. The good news is that there is no shortage of grant and funding opportunity!

Do you need help to fund training costs for youth or new workers, or could you benefit from subsidized workers? Perhaps you need help with fixing a community playground? Do any public facilities need renovations? Do you want help developing a business, or expanding an existing business? Could you use funds to help cover costs of a cultural event? Could your organization or community benefit from educational, leadership, or training activities? Perhaps, you can use support to develop land, housing or natural resources?

If you answered yes to any of the above needs for funding; the good news is that my team and I can help you access many different funding programs at a fraction of the cost of what you will receive in return.
