Our Philosophy
-
Grant Writing is the middle of a Grant System connecting Grant Preparedness, Grant Management, and Post-Grant Activity.
-
Grant Writing is not an independent activity that drives ideas, missions, or programs.
-
It requires a thoughtful investment of planning, time, and financial resources.
-
Grant Writing has a slow return on investment in a highly competitive environment.
-
In each phase of the Grant System, we ensure that the structures are built, the strategies are in place and the social interactions are outlined in order to improve an organization's efficiency, effectiveness, and productivity.
-
When an organization is operating its Grant System at the optimal level, it can get more grant awards, serve more clients, demonstrate success, and establish sustainable practices.

Our Work
"I had the privilege of working with Jan over the past ten years in her capacity of grants coordinator for the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County. As the volunteer Treasurer and then President of the Delray Beach Chorale, Jan helped guide us through every step of the grant process. She would always go “above and beyond” to help us find new resources and funding opportunities throughout Palm Beach County. She is not only very bright, but patient, kind and understanding. She has the ability to bring people together from various ethnicities and cultures and make them feel special and important. You will not regret working with Jan. She will make things happen for you. "
~ Barry Ogrin, Real Estate Owner/Investor
"Jan is highly skilled in every aspect of grant administration, grant management, and grant writing. Her instincts are spot on. I learned so much from her I was able to start my own career. If I ever have any grant related questions, she’s the one I turn to. And I have recommended her to every nonprofit I encounter."
~Wendy Boucher, Artist
"Jan is the consummate professional who knows everything there is to know about grant making and grant seeking. Her in-depth experience "in the trenches" provides a view and practical tools that are uniquely valuable to those fortunate enough to seek her help. I highly recommend Jan to any nonprofit seeking to up their game in raising support through grants. She's worth every penny you will invest, and you'll enjoy the process of working with Jan immensely."
~Charlotte Pelton, Owner, Charlotte Pelton & Associates
"I've enjoyed working with Jan on several projects over the years. She understands the importance of including the Evaluation Plan during the Program Design phase in order to properly evaluate and assess the Program outcomes and impact. And she’s a pleasure to work with!
