This flexibility allows you to manage your budget effectively, accommodating months when grant work is ebbing and flowing. With GRANTed, you gain access to a vast range of funding opportunities and benefit from my extensive experience in securing diverse grants, ensuring your nonprofit's success in every funding landscape.

Proposal Development & Writing

At GRANTed Professional Writing Services, we collaborate closely with you to transform your organizational mission, vision, and programs into compelling, fundable proposals. By aligning your initiatives with the priorities of potential funders, we ensure that each proposal not only reflects your organization's unique strengths and goals but also resonates with the specific interests and requirements of the funders. This tailored approach maximizes your chances of securing the necessary funding to advance your mission and create a lasting impact in your community.

Grant Management & Reporting

This organized approach allows us to monitor progress, address any challenges promptly, and maintain strong relationships with funders through transparent and insightful reporting.

Prospecting

At GRANTed Professional Writing Services, I conduct thorough research on potential funders, examining the programs they have funded that align with your initiatives. By analyzing the funding sources of peer and aspirant organizations, we identify promising opportunities for your nonprofit. We then pinpoint key contacts within these funding organizations and work on building relationships grounded in trust and transparency. This strategic approach ensures that we connect with funders who are genuinely interested in supporting your mission, enhancing your chances of securing the necessary resources.

About

My name is Amy Johnson Lachuk

Hello! I’m Amy, the writer behind GRANTed Professional Writing Services. I run this operation, working with nonprofits of all sizes to grow their programs and relationships through successful grant funding. I have been writing grants since 2005, bringing nearly two decades of experience to help your organization thrive.

 

Before starting GRANTed, I was a college professor securing grant funding to support my research and programs. My doctorate is in Literacy Studies from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (Go, Badgers!). This work provided me with invaluable experience in writing, relationships, program development, and funding. My first grant was a Department of Education grant to support teaching and research in a small community in Georgia.

 

Since then, I have secured millions of dollars in grants from a wide range of funders, from small family foundations to large global corporations. I have also expanded into securing public agency funding, including grants from HHS, HRSA, SAMHSA, and the DOJ.

 

Thank you for visiting GRANTed and taking the time to learn about what we do. I look forward to the opportunity to support your nonprofit's mission and help you achieve your goals through effective grant writing and strategic funding support.

I strive to ensure that each of my clients gets the grants they need, and I do this by fostering mutually beneficial relationships between our clients and their funders that will last for years to come.

How We Will Work Together

I make sure to familiarize myself with your organization and its goals before we start working on grant applications. Our first step in working together is doing a deep dive into your organization's goals, priorities and strategic plan. From there we will identify grant opportunities that we will work collaboratively on developing. Gaining clarity on our grant projects and requests is the first step in getting grant awards. So, before I start writing, we will spend time together clarifying your focus and identifying how grant revenue can help make that a reality.
