One of the most important factors when
considering grant writers is their track record; Morrison Consulting
has been blessed with a record of 30 of 32 since its founding in 2002.
Only very large organizations can employ
fulltime professional grant writers. As the proposal process can be
time consuming and complex, these organizations have a competitive
advantage over smaller organizations with fewer resources. Now you can
level the playing field.
Morrison Consulting concentrates on
highly competitive grant programs for private sector companies and other
organizations. Beyond our strong record of success, we help position
your project to be eligible for as much as possible, with as small a
cash match as possible. We can often successfully address rules and
other obstacles that may appear to disqualify a project.
We have written grants for several
programs, including:
·
Value-Added Producer
Grants (VAPG)
·
Rural Business Enterprise
Grants (RBEG)
·
Risk Management Education
(RME)
·

·
Biomass Research and
Development Initiative (BRDI)
·
Emerging Markets Program
·
California International Market Promotion for Agriculture (CIMPA)
 If
you want to improve your odds in an increasingly competitive grant
environment, contact Morrison Consulting. We can outsource all your
grant writing, search, and compliance reporting requirements or just
assist as needed. Either way, we can be the edge you need.
