Grant/Proposal Development
What do you do when an RFP for a project that is perfectly aligned with your core capabilities is going to be released and:
-
you/your staff don't have the experience with these types of responses
-
you have the experience but not the bandwidth
This is where Co-Creative Consulting can help. Our team has over 25 years of experience in the life-cycle development of winning grants/proposals for a myriad of clients including non-profit organizations, for profit businesses, and federal, state, and local government organizations.
Our work has resulted in over 2 billion dollars worth of new business for our clients.
We utilize our experience and expertise to to help our clients submit solution oriented, client focused, compliant, high quality proposals that result in valuable contract work for their organizations. Whether the need is for a full proposal development team or specific expertise to supplement in-house staff, we can design a solution for every client.
One of the reasons we are so successful is that our Founder and CEO worked for several years developing complex RFP's and reviewing subsequent proposals for the procurement office of a large state government agency. She then moved into private industry where she worked for several large consulting firms in Washington, D.C. developing multi-million dollar winning proposals.
Because we've had a seat at both sides of the table, we have a unique and extremely valuable perspective and an understanding of what wins the big contracts.
