Giving Back

Research Associates - The Grant Experts (RA) was founded in 1985 by Mike DuBose with a purpose of creating opportunities to improve lives. Since then, RA has positively impacted the lives of many through its monetary donations, hands-on community service activities, and in-kind donations of goods and services.

From Our Partners

RA puts in the time and detail to ensure they have input and buy-in from departments that will ultimately lead the work. Positive interactions and RA's commitment to creating a workable, high-quality proposal is evident. I appreciate the team's knowledge and willingness to talk through the budget and narrative as needed to get the result the district needs.
School District Grant Director, North Carolina

The best part was starting from scratch with our team and having a great proposal at the end of the process. I am always amazed how they take a few sentences, thoughts, and ideas to come up with a wonderful plan to help students and teachers.
Project Director, Georgia

The RA team shows a sincere interest in the program and builds a relationship with our team. I like the comprehensive approach to the process and that you have expertise in research, writing, project management, and editing.
Project Director, Florida

The personal attention and the proposals are not cookie-cutter but written specifically for our organization. Having the benefit of RA's other partner experiences.
