Case Study

 

 

Background:

A nonprofit organization based in Chicago, IL contacted Grants Works to identify ways to enhance their organization’s processes to accommodate a large growth in the number of awarded federal and other government grants. Grants Works hosted an eight-hour, VIP Day onsite at its headquarters, continued to provide additional services after the VIP Day, and conducted mandatory training of over 50 of the client’s employees.

Client Win:

The client learned that its existing processes and resource gaps discouraged collaboration and accountability, reviewed several options presented by Grants Works, implemented changes to facilitate greater oversight of its role as a primary recipient, subrecipient, and passthrough entity, and ensured its staff received the requisite training to better understand its responsibilities as a federal grantee.

“Patrice was very professional and knowledgeable. She provided the action plan and held the team accountable for meeting the deadlines. She was very helpful answering questions, walking us through the grant process and requirements, offering additional trainings, providing reference materials and sample policies. “

 

Larissa Korniychuk, Xilis

“Grants Works provided us valuable support for pulling together a proposal that involved 30+ individuals spread over 15 entities, and required a large number of items to be prepared in very specific formats. They did all this in the space of less than 10 weeks with Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays in between. We could not have managed it without their help.”

Ramu Ramachandran, Louisiana Tech University

“Appreciate your support in building a training program and ensuring our needs were met throughout the project!”

Melissa Bennett, CDC Foundation

“Overall – I believe we are all satisfied with the rigor, details and recommendations within the report and look forward to connecting.”

Tim Calabrese, Mass Audubon

“Thank you Patrice! The trainings have been great.  Very well put together so that people can understand the content which is not easy to get across in [a] way that is absorbable!”

Arlene Ajami, United Way of Western Connecticut

“Patrice, thank you for all of the work you did to shepard this process. You were consistently calm and wise even when grants.gov was infuriating. Your knowledge of the federal grants process was invaluable. We could not have put together this quality of proposal on our own. Thank you for all of the care and attention you put into the myriad forms and all of our budgets. Having you there to answer questions and talk things through was incredibly helpful to me and made this process so much more manageable than if we had to try to do this on our own. Please thank the rest of your team for us.”

Kristen Stelljes, NECEC
