The McEwen Solutions team starts the grant writing process by creating a case for support (narrative template) that tells the story of the organization and sets up a compelling case for why donors should give. Next, we research private foundation and government funding opportunities that match the work of the client. We detail this research in a 12-month grant calendar including due dates, funding focus areas, contact information. The grant calendar serves as a map showing our scope of work over the course of the year. Month by month, our grant writers follow through with producing the applications on the grant calendar and submitting them to funders. When applications are awarded, our team manages and reports on each grant to ensure that the funder knows the impact of their investment which encourages

growth in the relationship between the client and their funders.
