Our Process
Assess
We begin by identifying your organization’s strategic strengths and key features, analyzing the RFP (Request for Proposal) and participating in informational conferences/webinars. Our staff also facilitates communication with funders regarding questions.
Collaborate
We work with you to create a competitive and customized program design that meets funding criteria. Collaborating with program and fiscal staff, we develop a sound program budget.
Create
FGS’s writers and editors craft a compelling narrative that responds to the RFP while highlighting your strengths. We coordinate and create comprehensive support materials such as linkage and support letters, organizational charts, flow charts, time tables and graphics.
Finalize
Our staff shares drafts for client review and feedback, integrating your comments and suggestions. Your comprehensive proposal package is prepared for submission in a timely way. Post submission we develop an abstract as a vehicle for advocacy.
