ERC has secured more than $50,000,000 for its clients since 2007 through such sources as the California Department of Education, the U.S. Department of Education, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. In prior years, ERC has helped clients obtain funding through The James S. Irvine Foundation, Stuart Foundation, S.H. Cowell Foundation, and First 5.

In developing proposals, our goal is to create a perfect fit between our client's mission, the goals and objectives of the program, and the priorities of the funding source. Our grant writers work in partnership with the client to develop effective proposals. Each project has an ERC liaison who maintains communication with the client and the funding source. ERC advises, as needed, in partnership development and creative ideas to strengthen proposals. ERC can assist in networking with other agencies to meet funding requirements, when needed.

ERC works closely with its clients throughout the entire grant writing process in order to optimize funding opportunities. The process is client driven. The grant proposal development service includes ongoing consultation, holistic program assessment, evaluation plan development, grant narrative composition, and submission of all required documents.

When funding sources are identified to meet a client's objective, ERC collects data relevant to the required content as noted in the request for proposals (RFP) issued by the funding agency. ERC organizes a draft of the application for review and commitment prior to the due date. Content of the application is dependent upon information and data provided, and finalization of decisions made by the client organization. ERC produces an original copy of the application and the number of copies required for each submittal, meeting all formatting and other requirements as prescribed in the RFP.
