Assistance With Grant Deadlines
More and more organizations are relying on grant money from the government and foundations but many of you don’t have the funds to employ a grant writer and keep track of grant deadlines. Also, it can mean the loss of your funding if these grants are not managed properly.
A message from Margaret Ring
As a service to nonprofits, I provide a short list of available grants with some limited information and their grant deadlines. If you don’t see anything that is of interest to your organization but need to fund a project, please contact me. If you need help writing a proposal or need assistance with policy manuals, I can also help with that. I’ve also reviewed grant proposals for nonprofits that were not accepted to show them how to get better scores for the next attempt.
