Depending on where a new client is in the development of foundation relationships, our team takes the following steps:
- Research funders, develop annual plan, and submit grant proposals in accordance to the plan
- Develop and create all grant materials meeting standards of your staff
- Maintain records of all contacts (notes, drafts, etc.) and providing copies to the client
- Encourage the development or refinement of program evaluation tools
- Provide grant acknowledgement (thank you) letters meeting IRS guidelines for both "yes" and "no" responses
- Provide reports to grantors as requested
- Provide a monthly report to the client for submission to board of directors
For Boy Scouts of America clients our proposals are built on sources from related fields including: How Children Succeed by Paul Touch (perseverance as a factor in education), Graduation for All by Camilla A. Lehr (dropout prevention), and the Tufts University based Cub Scout studies lead by Dr. Richard Lerner.
