Kelley Nonprofit Consulting provides all levels of service from simple grant editing to full fund development planning.
Kelley Nonprofit Consulting works with nonprofits and pubic service agencies to seek funds for new, ongoing or one-time projects or programs. We are well-versed in Foundation (private and public), Corporate, Federal, and State proposal processes. Kelley Nonprofit Consulting offers full grant management service including Letters of Intent (LOIs), budget planning, grant renewals, and final reporting. In addition, we offer proposal critiques and review as a cost-effective way to ensure the success of grants already written.
Kelley Nonprofit Consulting LLC maintains an extensive database of grant-making institutions enabling us to efficiently research local, regional and national funding options for your programs and projects. We select relevant grant-making institutions by examining their history of funding, mission, board officers, changes in financial trends, and current and past initiatives. If necessary, Kelley Nonprofit Consulting will meet with Foundation program officers on your behalf to present programs and discuss funding options. Our research and meetings result in a report for your organization detailing the most promising prospects, complete with a Mandate to Pursue (a summary of why a potential funding source is a good fit for your organization) and a list of programs likely to be funded by each prospect.
Kelley Nonprofit Consulting LLC can help your organization develop and refine its programs to make them more appealing from the perspective of a grant-making organization. This can include (1) Performing a statistical analysis of the demographics of your constituents; (2) Developing a stronger "needs" statement; (3) Aligning your programs more closely with your organization's mission; (4) Creating new or more meaningful outcome measurements (see below); and (5) Combining existing programs under larger initiatives.
Highly selective institutions will only fund programs that demonstrate their quantifiable and qualifying effects. Kelley Nonprofit Consulting LLC employs nationally recognized methodologies tailored to your program to measure its effectiveness. We will help you develop and implement surveys, graphs, and logic models which will increase your success in seeking funding.
