O'Donnell & Associates

Our grants management practice provides total grant writing services for non-profit organizations, small businesses, law enforcement agencies, and individuals.

As competition intensifies for limited funding dollars, proposal writing success and grant application awards for most agencies and businesses are declining. To be successful in this environment, an initial introduction to foundations, corporations, government and other funders must be written in a strong, persuasive style. Our leadership provides proactive research that addresses this need. 

We work closely with organizations to clarify funding needs, research funding opportunities, prepare grant proposals, provide project management assistance, and manage the post-award reporting process.

Our clients include organizations in the arts; health and safety; security and law enforcement support; public health; small business, schools and religious organizations.

In addition to working with organizations seeking funding, we have worked with grantors to provide technical consulting on an advisory basis to their potential grant applicants, and in an application review capacity.
