ERC secured more than $15,000,000 for its clients in 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 (Children and Families Commission of Fresno County), among others.
Statement of Qualifications:
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 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.
ERC often conducts extensive database search for potential funding sources. When a funding source has been identified, ERC will collect data relevant to the required content as noted in the request for proposals (RFP) issued by the funding agency. ERC will organize a draft of the application for review and commitment prior to the due date. Content of the application will be dependent upon information and data provided, and finalization of decisions made by your organization. ERC will produce 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.
Previously funded projects can be accessed to the right. If you think ERC is a good fit for your funding opportunity, please fill out our online Inquiry Form. To access our Inquiry Form, select the Contact Us tab.
