In an effort to serve our clients at Essex & Associates that are non-profit, faith-based and social entrepreneurial for-profit organizations, the firm decided to add a Grant Writing Services division.  We also believe in creating a shared vision with our clients and provide training to teach grant writing skills to allow organizations to ultimately apply for funds independent of a grant writer or make an informed decision when hiring one.

As an accounting, tax preparation, and HR firm, providing grant-writing services is a bold and innovative way to address current and long-standing funding opportunities available through a wide range of philanthropic, corporate and governmental resources. Our approach to grant writing is distinct and designed to deliver a servant leadership proposal that’s holistic, has a persuasive vision and narrative.

Essex and Associates’ founder and President Dr. Wayne Essex has brought Dominic Patrick, a grant writer with 20 years experience, to the Miami Valley to head up the grant writing services division and to educate our clientele about the application process and offer valuable insights into pursuing grant funding. We offer the following services:

•     All Levels of Grant/Proposal Writing
•     Funding Readiness Assessment
•     Best Practices and Valuable Insights into the Application Process
•     Develop New Funding Opportunities
•     Edit Existing Proposals
•     Targeted Grant Funding Search by Type
•     Experienced with a broad range of Funding Resources

Essex & Associates also offered six Lunch and Learn Grant Writing classes beginning in September 2009 thru October 2009 and we will resume our classes with a complimentary lunch in January 2010.  Here’s a preview of the information covered: (PowerPoint Here)
