Not Just Another Grant Writing Firm
We are full-scope grant funding specialists. TPA has perfected a grant writing process that drives results and has earned our clients more than $3.1 billion in competitive funding.
Our process starts well before the actual grant writing begins. Through our California and federal advocates, TPA helps legislatures and state agency officials create funding opportunities for our clients. We work with our clients to identify grant programs that align with their projects, research and draft the grant applications, and advocate for funding after their grant applications are submitted.
This comprehensive approach to pursuing grants is why we call ourselves grant funding advocates, because we go above and beyond the scope of a standard grant writer.
Our 4-Step Process for Grant Writing
While each project is different, we take a proven four-step approach to secure grant funding on behalf of our clients.
Craft a Strategic Funding Plan
We start by developing a proactive and comprehensive strategic funding plan that serves the specific needs of each project. We also identify any key “strings attached” that might arise in the pursuit of funding.
Identify, Research, and Monitor Funding Opportunities
We utilize multiple tactics to ensure every grant opportunity is identified and reviewed for relevance with your projects. TPA shares each viable grant opportunity and helps determine if further action is warranted.
Grant Application Development and Submittal
Once a viable funding opportunity is identified, only then do we develop, draft, submit, and follow up on each of your grant applications. Leveraging our relationships, we ensure that each grant application is well positioned for funding. TPA also goes the extra mile to advocate for your application, with key elected officials and decision makers, to make sure it is as compelling as possible.
Comprehensive Follow-Up
Throughout the process, TPA maintains constant communication with our clients, stays updated on the status of the application and the decision making process, and promotes the project’s need and urgency. Once a client is awarded a grant, TPA can assist with any post-award administrative and compliance concerns that may arise. For unsuccessful applications, TPA sets up briefings with the funding agency to determine how an application can improved to increase the likelihood of success in the next round of funding.
