You’ve got a lot on your plate.
We want to help.
Strategic Planning
Creating a “road map” for your organization is key to ensuring your fundraising efforts see fruit. By laying out a funding plan with goals, steps and roles, the success of your organization grows. Gateway joins your team in strategically planning for sustainability across all programs and utilizing best practices for increasing funds.
Grant Research & Writing
A grant writer is like an artist painting a detailed picture of what you do. Our grant research identifies the best audience for your painting - potential funders. Let Gateway write a proposal to those funders that highlights the heart of your organization and the effectiveness of your program, so your organization puts its best foot forward.
Financial Coaching
A solid financial foundation is key to running a sustainable, effective nonprofit. Most people start nonprofits because they have a passion for a cause, not because they enjoy accounting and budget projections. Our financial coach can help ensure your foundation becomes as sturdy and strong as possible so you can keep impacting your community for years to come.
Process Improvement
The smoothness of your processes directly affects the impacts of your programs on your community. Internal systems set up correctly can give you more time to accomplish your mission. Let Gateway simplify your processes in order to keep your organization running smoothly and to maximize your impact.
Grant Calendar Management
Staying on top of new funding opportunities and tracking data are both crucial aspects of successful fundraising. You need to know about changes in due dates and priorities, expected response times, and new grant sources. Let Gateway take on this ongoing task of managing your grant calendar, communicating with funders, and meeting important reporting deadlines.
Consultation
Do you have a need but do not see a service here that meets it, like 990 help, budget creation, impact surveys, developing metrics, or program evaluation? Reach out to us and ask! Chances are we actually do that too, since our well-rounded team comes with many talents and strengths.
“We all know that grant writing can be a challenge. To help navigate those challenges I’ve seen the staff at Gateway Grant Services effectively help a large nonprofit that needs just a little bit of assistance during a busy grant season. At the same time, they show they can be equally effective working with a small nonprofit with no development staff that needs ongoing support. They continually work to meet each nonprofit’s unique needs, knowing one size doesn’t fit all. When asked, I often recommend their services to nonprofits in our community.”

Testimonials
The process was relatively easy. Our meetings were very organized. I especially loved how you sent me an email of next steps so I'd have a list of what I needed to achieve before our next meeting. Weekly meetings were convenient even with my busy schedule. I felt very comfortable working with both of you. You made a stressful process less demanding! We will definitely choose to use you again in the future!

“Faith and Ashley encourage, lead and support their clients to build a solid data foundation that prepares the non-profit for successful grant submissions. Gateway also invests in their clients through on-line workshops that carve out and create thought provoking opportunities for the non-profit to see themselves in new ways. Gateway fills a niche that is long overdue in the non-profit funding area.”

“I've taken a grant writing class that basically just threw a ton of articles at you. This class was easy to digest, despite the amount of information given and the content was easy to follow. The feedback and examples were great and the facilitators offered useful tips with their critiques and were extremely personable. I'd highly recommend this course. I can't wait to put what I learned to work!”

“The Center for New Beginnings is a nonprofit organization serving special-needs children and their families in Burke County and our surrounding counties. For the last 11 years our director and certain staff carried the added task of grant writing. This grant writing took place while struggling to meet the needs of their various other responsibilities (including most importantly working directly with our children and their families). This year (2017) we outsourced this need with a monthly agreement to search, write, and manage grant services. Since then, we have seen a significant increase in funding through grants. As an added bonus, our director had much time freed up that allows her to focus more energy on serving our many families and children.”
