At OVID Solutions, we start by carefully looking at your projects and then diving into finding the perfect grants for each one. We call this process “resource matching” because it’s like finding the right puzzle piece for your project. Here’s why it matters:
- Getting to Know You: We want to understand your story deeply so we can share it effectively in grant applications.
- Finding the Best Fit: Instead of trying to fit your project into any available grant, we seek out the ones that align perfectly with what you’re doing while also brainstorming out-of-the-box ways to capture your project, unlocking additional funding sources.
- Building Partnerships: We help you connect with the right partners to build a strong team, making your grant application more competitive.
- Avoiding Last-Minute Hurdles: By mapping out grants of interest in advance, we can help you seek approval from governing bodies in advance to avoid last-minute issues.
- Strategic Match Dollars: We help you make smart decisions about where to allocate matching funds and how to be creative in your approach to boost your application’s chances.
- Advocacy and Lobbying: We can work with your lobbyists to make sure they are having conversations with decision-makers at appropriate funding agencies to advocate for the project. Having served in government and managed billions in state and federal funding – we know this is a crucial step.
By following these steps, we not only increase your chances of securing funding but also ensure that your project gets the attention it deserves. Let’s work together to make it happen!
