Services
Elizabeth can help your organization meet its financial goals so that you can achieve your mission.
- Foundation Research
- Grant Writing
- Development Counsel
The process begins with an initial consultation and is tailored to each organization’s needs and stage of organizational development. The client is asked to share relevant documents such as submitted grant proposals, brochures, and a development plan (if one exists).
Elizabeth can provide guidance for Board Members to assist staff with fundraising, serve as development counsel to staff members, and particularly enjoys the basics of researching funding prospects and developing proposals. She can also prepare or edit collateral materials.
If Elizabeth is engaged to develop grant proposals, the client must provide current audited financial statements, a Form 990 and an IRS Letter of Determination. All material that is not publicly available is held in strict confidence.
Elizabeth is sensitive to the budgets of community-based nonprofits. You will find her fees are reasonable, and will save your organization from the permanent overhead of hiring staff.
Of course, when approaching potential funders results cannot be guaranteed. What Elizabeth will promise is an earnest effort and a professional product.
Several clients have engaged Elizabeth to handle their bookkeeping function. She provides this service with the clients’ understanding that whereas she is not trained as a bookkeeper she has experience in this arena gained during her years working on staff for various nonprofit organizations. She will be happy to discuss providing this service for your organization.
