GRANT WRITING: Contact us for CFA and other Grants

Grant writing is a professional skill, and not for the faint of heart. Arc fully understands that the writing of the grant is only one part of the entire application process. So, Arc doesn’t just write grants. We engage in the “grant cycle”, which includes detailed on-going collaboration with the client, identification of a variety of funding sources, including relevant grants, accumulating the information, attaining valuable ancillary documents such as letters of recommendation, writing the grant application, submitting. If accepted, Arc does the all important “grant administration” work afterwards, ensuring and documenting that the funds are spent correctly, as per the specs of the grant. And if the application is not accepted, Arc gets the feedback you need in debriefings, to ensure a more successful follow-up submission in the next funding cycle.

Grant writing experience includes those written solely or collaborated on for Federal, NY State, and local funding entities for a wide variety of needs.

Grant Applications submitted on behalf of clients of Arc Business & Writing Services.          Grant writing services provided by Harv Hilowitz and staff.
