PARTNER WITH GMA
Your firm can now offer Grant Services through an alliance with GMA.
Many firms offer grant-related services for their clients and partners through an alliance with Grant Management Associates (GMA).
Grant funding is a fantastic means by which to create or expand business. There are grant opportunities in all sectors of the economy with an equally diverse target of benefits that your clients or potential clients are interested in achieving such as creating jobs, protecting the environment, reducing energy consumption and pollution, advancing the state of the art in various sectors, and developing, demonstrating and deploying new technologies.
Grants can provide capital funding that does not need to be repaid and will not require equity in a private company, and grants are oftentimes willing to fund projects that have a higher risk than the private market is willing to fund. Grants are available for all kinds of organizations, including for-profit companies, government agencies, nonprofit organizations, schools of all levels, national laboratories, and collaborations between these groups. Grants can fund activities such as establishing or expanding manufacturing facilities, developing workforce training programs, developing or advancing clean or emerging technologies, and many others.
Through an alliance with GMA, you can now offer an array of grant-related services to your clients and partners, including:
-
Funding opportunity research and analysis
-
Collaborative project development
-
Application project management
-
Grant writing, editing and review
