Grant Writing
Grants can be valuable sources of funding for an organization. However, identifying potential funders and writing lengthy proposals can take time and effort away from the important business of running your nonprofit’s programs. ANS does not offer grant research and grant writing services. Instead ANS can refer groups to consultants who have a record of writing and researching grants for nonprofits.
