Grants Northwest has provided grants services to more than 100 organizations over 20 years, including all types of nonprofits, local governments and educational institutions. Grant Writing: Grants Northwest will help your organization win grants to support your programs and launch new projects. We do this by working with you to develop strong, fundable programs, not just by “writing grants”. The grant development process has five major elements and ideally is a one or two month process. Teaching and Training: We offer in-depth, hands-on training for nonprofit staff, boards, grantwriters and others interested in learning the information and skills needed for successful grant proposal development. Participants learn practical skills they can use immediately. Workshops, presentations and classes are presented in a variety of formats. Books: The Grantwriting Beyond the Basics books grew out of my experiences during 20 years as a grants consultant and over 30 years of working with nonprofits. I saw a need for more advanced information for grant professionals—information that goes “beyond the basics.”
