Initial Site Visit
Our engagement begins with an initial no-charge onsite visit. We meet with one or two organizational leaders and take a quick tour of your facilities. Our goal is to understand who you are and where you want to go.
Proposal Letter
After our initial site visit, we create a detailed proposal letter with our recommendations on how to prepare for a grant application. Typically, this includes CAD drawings of the facilities and any previous studies which may be helpful. In some cases, we engage outside consultants (e.g. architects, engineers and code consultants) to create reports or concept drawings. Our proposal includes which grants you qualify for and how the project should be steered to maximize the resources available.
*Please note, there is no obligation or cost to the charity until the proposal letter is accepted.
Grant Application
Once the proposal letter is accepted, Longview can begin the grant proposal writing stage. We are experts in finding the money to make your dreams a reality. There are many grants available, and it takes a seasoned professional to best tap into these resources.
