Project Overview

As a new nonprofit 501(c)3 charity, I am applying for grants to get funding so we can start working with students (in order to collect data of our proven results and then get bigger grants).

I am seeking an editor with grant writing experience to review my applications. I, too, have some experience writing grants, but not in this context.The pandemic has highlighted the ongoing inequalities that have existed in America for decades. The Achievement Gap is being widened with school closures. Low-income students of color are among the hardest hit, resulting in long-term economic costs for local and national communities.

I have founded this nonprofit tutoring company using my proven results from my past 2 decades of tutoring experience. Our methods work - we just need the funding to get started!I have already researched and found nearly 100 grants I can apply for. Of those, I went through and collected the questions that are asked and arranged them in a google doc. Then I composed 21 pages of responses that can be utilized and revised for various grants. I have also been working with an accountant to fine-tune our financial reports and budgeting spreadsheets. I have already applied for a few grants and have a good handle on the process, including tracking and organization. I am looking for a 2nd set of eyes to review the content and make suggestions for improvement before I click submit.
