By beginning a Partner Plan with Grants Plus, you'll be matched with a team of our grants consultants.

Grow your grants program by engaging Grants Plus as your external grant writing team. After one year of partnering with Grants Plus, our Partner Plan clients experience an average return of 500% their investment in our services. This success is a result of our deep expertise, our relationship-based philosophy of grant seeking, and the strategic methodology of our Partner Plan.
Over a 12-month Partner Plan engagement, we will:
Review your current grant funders and research new funding possibilities to hone a grants game plan of the funders that merit your focus and attention.
Lead a regular Grant Strategy Session to review progress, confirm upcoming priorities, and advise you on relationship moves to make with grant funders.
As our relationship strategies gain a positive response from funders, we will prepare compelling grant proposals and submit on your organization's behalf.
Are You Ready for a Partner Plan?

Our Partner Plan is best suited for organizations that can demonstrate these characteristics:
Status as an established organization in operation for at least three years.
An annual operating budget of at least $1 million, evidence of a financial audit, and prior experience with fundraising.
A staff person, usually the Executive Director or Development Director, who will devote time and focus to nurturing funder relationships with our support.
Organizations with Experience Winning Grants
Since 1968, Blossom Hill has provided loving homes and personalized care to adults with developmental disabilities. In the summer of 2020, the then new CEO of Blossom Hill, Lisa Kristosik, realized the need to increase grant revenues. She enlisted Grants Plus in a partnership to help broaden their funder base and build new, longer lasting funder connections.
Our work began with grant prospect research to review existing funders as well as identify new funding possibilities. We recommended a game plan that prioritized 40 funders as strong prospects for Blossom Hill. In the following months, Lisa and Development Director, Lori Inks, benefited from coaching and support from Grants Plus to forge relationships with these funders, while the Grants Plus team crafted and submitted a steady stream of grant applications to both existing funders and new prospects.
This strategic approach soon paid off. By activating their Grants Plus game plan, Blossom Hill secured an invitation from a significant funder to apply for funding within the first 30 minutes of a virtual site visit, as well as developed new relationships with additional funders in their grants game plan. Within their first two years of partnering with Grants Plus, Blossom Hill has achieved a return on their investment of 161% with total grant awards of over $260,000 to date.
"Blossom Hill could have never identified these potential funding partners without Grants Plus. Our partnership has allowed for so many new opportunities for our organization and helped to get our organization more visibility in the community. The teamwork and collaboration have been just outstanding!"
Ms. Lisa Kristosik, MSN, RN
