PREPARING GRANT PROPOSALS
Start Here works with universities, nonprofits, startup businesses, and other entities (even individuals) to fund projects and operations via grant money. Grant proposals go to foundations, the government, businesses, and other funders; if you don’t know good sources of funding, we find the ones most appropriate for your project. The legwork done, we prepare the proposal with an eye toward illuminating your vision.
DEVELOPING ASKS FOR WEALTHY POTENTIAL DONORS
Sometimes the best way to fund a project isn’t to compete for funds earmarked for a certain cause, but to approach appropriate private funders. (This happens often with universities and other schools.) Start Here works with you to develop the best pitch for these special situations. If you have a graphics department at your disposal, we can simply work with you on developing the best approach and then write it, helping to keep costs down; if you require layout and printing, we can do that, too.
FINDING SEED MONEY FOR YOUR STARTUP OR SMALL BUSINESS
This one explains itself. If you’re a startup or small business, or even a researcher—particularly one in a tech, biotech, or medical field—you most likely know quite well that there’s a lot of money out there that can help you grow. This funding comes mostly from the government, but also from private sources and foundations focused on your interest. Start Here helps you locate and secure this type of funding.
