Requests for Proposals and Application Scoring

Philanthropic organizations want to know their investments in nonprofit work makes impact. Our team is available to guide granting-making organizations through the process of constructing Requests for Proposals or Requests for Applications that elicit detailed, targeted responses. Experienced professionals are prepared to assist in the construction of evaluation and reporting metrics, review and scoring of submitted proposals, and post-award grant management strategies for funding organizations.

Research

​Leonardtown Grants, LLC, uses powerful databases to conduct prospect research, the critical first step in evaluating whether donor or foundation geographic areas and granting interests align with your nonprofit’s goals. With this service, we reach out to donors on behalf of your organization to verify interest and establish methods of contact and request.
​

Letters of Inquiry

​Often, funders require brief Letters of Inquiry as an entryway to a funding partnership. Letters of Inquiry (LOI) usually follow specific individual guidelines and formats. Leonardtown Grants, LLC, will assist your nonprofit in every step of LOI preparation.
​

Grant Applications

Once a funder who requested an LOI accepts the initial concept or when the initial contact is a full proposal, our team will work with you to gather the important information necessary to create a competitive proposal. This includes gathering important information regarding demographics, researching evidence to support your work, and assisting in constructing budgets. With your input, we gather curriculum vitaes, resumés, and biosketches as necessary to complete staffing and management plans.

ArcGIS©

Leonardtown Grants, LLC, licenses ESRI© ArcGIS© software to better serve our customers. Among our resources, we use data files, including US Census and CDC composites, to create maps that show your program’s catchment areas, site locations, and demographics relevant to your proposed project. Inserting clear, concise visuals assists potential funding partners in understanding the scope and target of your proposal.
​

Graphic Design

​In addition to written materials, Leonardtown Grants, LLC has in-house graphic and web design capabilities to meet your forward-facing needs. Using your existing logos or designing originals, we assist your nonprofit to polish donor and foundation materials and professionalize your public image.

Requested documents can include most recent audits, IRS 990 filings, W9s, business licenses, and organizational charts.
