Our mission is to help non profits achieve their missions through seeking and writing grants.
We appreciate that most small-to-medium sized charitable organizations do not have grant writers on staff; but need funding from federal, state and foundation grants to maximize their effectiveness. The grant writing process is demanding and very time consuming. When Executive Directors or other staff members take time to pursue grants, they are doing so at the peril of other critical functions within their responsibilities.
We take considerable time with each client; gaining an understanding their mission, vision, organizational structure and funding needs. We then approach our Scope of Work within a reasonable per project or retainer basis to discover, procure and retain appropriate grants.

Some of Our Clients
"We knew we didn’t have the time or the talent in-house to research and write grants for our small nonprofit, and were thrilled when we learned of Grant Door. We have worked with Mary for three years, and the size of our organization has tripled, in no small part to her expertise. The ROI on her services is simply off the charts. We couldn’t ask for a better partner.”
