Tell Us About Your Business?
My business is all about helping people find funding for their businesses. I mostly work with non-profits but do work with some for-profits organizations.

What Sets You Apart From Your Competition?
I am different from my competitors because they mostly provide resources to grants such as listings or a listing of grant writers for a fee. However, I provide services that include finding grants (prospecting), strategic planning for grant approach, grant writing, and research.

How Do You Give Back To The Community?
I work with non-profits because they typically don’t have the same resources to invest in development and getting funding even though there are a lot more resources for non-profits for grant funding.

What’s The Most Fun You’ve Had With Your Job?
