With widely-available technology, there’s really no reason to limit yourself to only candidates who are able to travel to your site Monday through Friday between the hours of 8am and 5pm. The capacity of the internet and email to handle daily communications is proven to be very effective.

Here are additional reasons to consider an external grants firm:

• Space is at a premium at your site.
  Even if you have had space for your grant manager, there’s no doubt that the space could be put to use for a purpose that is primary to your doing business.
• It can be more cost effective.
  A computer, printer, desk, and chair are just a few of the things that you might need to purchase. Overhead costs, including phone service and postage, also need to be considered.
• Change is needed – fast!
  The fresh perspective offered on how to best meet your specific grants compliance and management needs is invaluable. With Gephart Resource Development, you have the advantage of working with professionals who are experienced in meeting your needs.
• Local expertise isn’t broad enough to meet your needs.
  Gephart Resource Development’s experience in managing and evaluating successful grant proposals is hard to match, much less beat. Satisfied clients from across the country attest to GRD’s expertise in federal, state, and foundation compliance issues.

Gephart Resource Development’s extensive database, top notch evaluation and monitoring associates, fully-equipped offices, and over 12 years of experience are at your disposal!

Here’s how it works:

1. Gephart Resource Development will work with you to create a “Grants Inventory.” This Grants Inventory will track grant reporting requirements, contact information, amounts awarded and spent, along with a tasks/deliverables schedule for each of your grants – all available through a web-based virtual file drawer.
2. Gephart Resource Development will review your quarterly reports and correspondence to ensure that your organization shines when communicating with your grantors.
3. Gephart Resource Development will provide quarterly reports to management describing progress made toward meeting the objectives of the grant.

Accountability is ensured – we wouldn’t have it any other way! Likewise, we draw on the expertise of many well-qualified associates that just isn’t possible to find in just one person.
