When it comes to customers, I need to be sure I'm providing you the service(s) you want and need so before we even look at available grants that may be a good fit for you and your organization, there are questions we need to answer.

1.    What is your mission, vision, values?

2.    What are your goals when it comes to grants?

3.    What is the best outcome that will benefit your nonprofit and who you serve?

4.    What is your definition of success?

5.    What is your definition grant writing?

6.    Do you currently have any grants funding your nonprofit?

7.    Do you have any grants that were not successfully completed?

8.    What is your annual goal when it comes to fundraising?

9.    Organization contact information?  Website, email, point(s) of contact for grant writer, address, phone number?

10.    Does your organization have the resources to commit to the grant you are considering?

11.    What type of relationship are you considering with your grant writers?  Contract?  Direct Hire?  Full time?  Part time?  On call?

Answering these basic questions can help me look into possible grants that meet your goals.
