WHY HIRE A GRANT WRITER IF YOU CAN DO IT
INTERNALLY FOR NO COST?
This is likely the first objection you will have when considering a grant writer. At MuniciPaid, we don't disagree. Our no-nonsense approach doesn’t claim to write better grant applications than your own staff (the subject matter experts of your own projects / initiatives). We don’t pretend to have templates that improve your chances of a successful application, nor do we purport to have a proprietary list of available funding programs.
Evidently, we are not a traditional grant writer. Where our approach to grant services differs, is that we focus on modest goal of acting as a facilitator. Like a payment processer charges a nominal fee to facilitate your municipality accepting payment through credit cards, our goal is to facilitate your municipality accepting as many grants as possible.
WHAT IS OUR VALUE THEN?
We have the resources!
While your staff has to navigate competing priorities, 100% of our time is solely devoted to managing funding.
We interpret the fine print!
Being immersed in the world of funding programs often allows us to answer your questions without having to converse with bureaucratic funding authorities.
We have the process!
We streamline the administrative burden of securing funding by keeping you on track with user-friendly checklists and proactively tracking information required for reporting.
We've been in your shoes!
Our team has spent time on both sides of the table; in finance departments of Ontario municipalities like you, and now as specialists in this sub-industry.
CALLING COUNCILLORS, TREASURERS, & CAO'S
As the leaders of your municipality's funding goals, this is how we can help you!
-
We can provide the list of available funding programs we have compiled (there should be no charge for public information!)
-
As partners, we’ll meet with your staff to review the status of all on-going grant/loan applications and reports
-
We’ll make your staff aware of funding programs as they become available
-
We’ll attend information sessions on your behalf, and we can provide insight on the eligibility of your projects/initiatives for specific funding programs
-
You can choose how much you want to engage us for each funding program from there. If our services don’t make sense for you to use on a specific funding program, there’s no obligation
After providing a list of basic information, we’ll be able to extrapolate fulsome applications or reports on your behalf! So, whether you're looking for help applying for grants, taking on the grunt work of a subsequent grant reporting, wading through the convoluted debt issuance process, and/or softening the blow of borrowing by exploring low-interest, interest-free, and forgivable lending options, contact us today to start facilitating your funding strategy!
