Support Strategy

In today's economy it is even more important to get the most for your money! Depending on your organization's needs, Alyssa offers two types of support

On-going Monthly Retainer:
Instead of hiring an employee and paying payroll taxes and benefits or overwhelming your current staff with grant writing duties, consider an experienced grants consultant. Once engaged in this method, Alyssa will often "do it all!" Depending on your organization's needs, Alyssa offers an outside perspective, knowledge of funders, prospect research, ongoing grant development and grants management including reporting. The average annual ROI for nonprofits that use this method is 800%. Ongoing support also allows Alyssa to be continually engaged in your planning, so that each proposal is part of a larger effort and aligned with your long-term funding goals.

Project Support:
Ideal if your organization seeks short-term help for specific project, such as research, editing, proposal development or training.

Prices:
Fees vary depending on the scope of the project and the specific needs of your organization. Initial consultation is always free.

Alyssa works primarily on a retainer or fixed fee project basis, as opposed to hourly because she believes clients are better served by disclosing costs upfront and both parties do not have to worry about "being on the clock." On-going Monthly Retainers require a minimum three-month contract.

In accordance with ethical standards of the field, Alyssa never works on a commission or contingency basis.
