Grant Services for School Districts & Affiliated Organizations

Grants Development

Clients receive turn-key grants development services including conducting needs assessments, program design, proposal writing, and budget development. Research Associates analyzes grant opportunities on a regular basis and seeks partnerships with clients that share a commitment to excellence, have clearly defined strategic goals for their proposed grant programs, and have reached an appropriate stage of readiness for implementation which aligns with funders’ priorities. We strive to build high functioning partnerships with individual organizations and groups interested in forming coalitions in a common geographic area. Working with dedicated, professional staff in your organization, our number one priority is to establish a meaningful and ongoing relationship that produces grant funds to improve student achievement and advance your organization’s strategic initiatives.

Research Associates also provides a range of services to help clients effectively manage grant programs, ensuring the highest standards of accountability. Our priority, when your grant is funded, is to support you in implementing a quality program that produces results. As your ongoing partner, we take on the frustrating details of grants management and provide comprehensive technical assistance, develop required reports for the funder, consult on fiscal matters, and interpret funder policies and regulations to help you keep your program on track.

Post-Award Services include:

"We are pleased in every aspect of our relationship with Research Associates. They tailor a grant to sound as though the writer is a lifelong resident of the applicant's community. When we ask them to write a grant for our district, we feel almost assured of getting it. Their follow-up, long-term assistance, and grant support services are outstanding, helping us meet all deadlines and keeping us on task. We have allocated money in our budget just for them."
