With the large amounts of U.S. tax dollars being spent abroad, combined with the formation of Homeland Security, domestic spending has
suffered. Allocation of funds for the continuation and improvement of
health, human, community, and educational services has been drastically reduced.
As a result, nonprofit organizations
that provide such services are struggling to survive -- the competition for available funds through government and foundation grants is extraordinarily high. While grant procurement is not rocket science, it is mission critical to the survival of nonprofits. Through the use of grant consulting services on as-needed basis, these nonprofit organizations can tap into the expertise and background experience of professionals they could not ordinarily afford to retain full-time.
