The GFT\/GMA will look at similar organizations and who they are funded by, what funding sources focus on their geographic location of services, and what funding exists for the type of program the client has proposed. The GFT\/GMA ensures that our energies are likely to be successful and are not simply giving you false hope. This process has enabled us to have over 80% of our proposals funded!<\/p><p>The fact that we have submitted a proposal to your organization and are continuing to discuss working together means that there is a good potential for funding.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1747\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"7\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1747\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon elementor-accordion-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-plus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-opened\"><i class=\"fas fa-minus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Can you guarantee that we will receive funding?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1747\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"7\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1747\"><p>Unfortunately, we can not guarantee that your ministry will immediately begin receiving funding. Our clients generally understand that Here-4-You Consulting does not guarantee specific results due to the variables that make that impractical. Some of these variables include: the funding climate, responsiveness of your staff, performance of your staff, variables in response to appeals, events, and grantors, etc. What we CAN guarantee is that you will be in a position to be more fundable and attractive to funding sources (foundations and donors alike!), and you will have a grant writing strategy that is designed to be implemented with consistent and persistent efforts to produce a financial return. Grant writing is a long-term strategy that when implemented properly will always yield results.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1748\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"8\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1748\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon elementor-accordion-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-plus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-opened\"><i class=\"fas fa-minus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" tabindex=\"0\">How long does an average grant take from the writing to the receiving of funds?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1748\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"8\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1748\"><p>Our experience shows that this could happen in as little as 3 weeks or it can take over a year or even longer. It is critical to realize that grant development is a\u00a0long-term development strategy. The amount of time it takes varies depending on how prepared you are to seek funding, what types of funding you are applying for, the history of your organization, and many other factors.
