Resource Associates (RA) provides grant competition research and comprehensive grant proposal writing services to hundreds of non-profit and faith-based organizations, each year, whose locations encompass nearly every state in the US as well as international communities such as South Africa, Canada, the Middle East, and Europe. Resource Associates is a highly qualified professional grant writing firm that you can trust.

Resource Associates’ grant writing team includes former executive directors, non-profit administrators, fire chiefs, criminal justice specialists, education and early childhood experts, scientists, doctors, social service specialists, researchers, and practitioners in many common non-profit service fields who bring with them an average of 10-15 years of grant writing experience and a proven track record in acquiring funding in their area of expertise. Our grant writers are located throughout the United States and internationally and are able to actively respond to our clients’ needs through telephone, e-mail, face-to-face, and other appropriate forms of communication; therefore, the geographic location of your organization should never be an obstacle for accessing and using our company as your grant development solutions provider.

Resource Associates’ services for non-profits and faith-based organizations include:

Development of a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Incorporation Application
Many organizations find that it is much easier to pursue and acquire grant funding if they register as a non-profit corporation (as appropriate). The process of acquiring a non-profit corporation certificate, however, is extremely time consuming and technical. Our consultants can help by developing the entire 501(c)(3) application package which includes bylaws and articles of incorporation at an affordable flat fee rate. Fee: $1,750 (this does not include additional filing fees required by the state and/or IRS, as applicable).

Grant Research Services
After thoroughly discussing your funding needs, a consultant will research upcoming funding opportunities and will develop a detailed report of federal, state, and foundation grant competitions for which you are eligible to apply and likely to be awarded. Depending on the type of funding your organization needs, the ‘Grant Research Opportunity’ (GRO) report will typically include anywhere from 20 funding competitions to 50 plus. We only put the most appropriate funding opportunities in the report which will reduce time and future research efforts as you prepare your annual grant development schedule with our staff. This also triggers you in our grant alert system so that when new grants come out, we will alert you and offer you consulting in making the decision whether to go for the grant or not -- free of charge. The report development process takes us up to four weeks to complete, at which time we will e-mail you your report and then engage in a conference call to thoroughly review the report, prioritize the funding opportunities, and establish your grant schedule for the year. Fee: $500

Development of a Grant Proposal
Resource Associates offers professional grant proposal writing services that include the collaborative planning of the grant program design, development of the full narrative and budget, and submission of the proposal. Fee: $500 to $2,800 per grant (depending on the length of the grant narrative).

Technical Review of a Grant Proposal
Our grant writers can perform comprehensive editing and a technical review of your grant proposal prior to its submission or after you have been declined funding. Fee: $500 to $2,000 per project (depending on the length of the grant narrative).
