Build Your Proposal Writing Capacity
Capacity+ believes strongly in helping non-profits build their internal proposal writing capacity by building a team within each organization. By working as teams, soliciting input from multiple individuals within the organization, and involving team members in the design, development and writing stages, organizations are able to build internal capacity, expand the skills of their employees, and create a large group of individuals knowledgeable about, and capable of, leading successful proposal writing efforts in the future.

Using this assessment, Capacity+ will identify areas in need of further information, development or guidance. If Capacity+ is the proposal writer, we will schedule regular meetings (at least weekly) with key individuals to solicit information, ask questions, discuss ideas and share progress
