BlueJay Publications provides grant proposal writing documentation and related services for Christian nonprofit organizations throughout the United States.
Grant writing is a specialized form of technical writing. I am a seasoned technical writer who, over the past 35 years, has written on everything from acoustics to welding—including technical manuals, service literature, advertising copy, direct mail letters, grant proposals, letters of intent, and web content. I am also experienced in the specialty advertising and promotion arena.
My latest grant won was for a tobacco free program to instruct school kids on the dangers of using tobacco products.
LETTER OF INQUIRY
/ INTENT / FUNDRAISING
I can help you
prepare a letter of inquiry and/or a letter of intent. What's the
difference? A letter of intent is a form stating that you intend to
apply for a grant. A letter of inquiry is a "sales pitch" to a specific funding source [grantor] explaining the nature of your
project or program. A positive response from the grantor will allow
you to proceed with a proposal.
GRANT PROPOSAL
I will write
your grant proposal to meet the requirements of the funding source—their
request for proposal [RFP]. This includes such topics and goals and
objectives, need for assistance [target population], needs assessment,
budget, etc.
GRANT PROPOSAL
REVIEW SERVICE
Perhaps you
have written a grant proposal, and need it reviewed. I will critique your
letters and/or grant proposal.
RESEARCH
I will help you
find funding sources that fit your project or program needs—youth
groups, Christian schools and education, building projects, outreach
ministries, seed money, etc.
GUARANTEE?
Can I guarantee that you will get a grant? Absolutely not! If anybody
promises you that they can get you a grant, run fast in the opposite
direction! Only the grantor can say who will or will not get a grant.
I guarantee that I will put forth an honest effort to help ensure
that you are applying for a grant that matches your project, and write
a proposal that meets all the requirements as set forth in the request
for proposal from the grantor.
YOUR NEXT STEP
I will provide you with a free initial consultation [over the phone
or via email] with no obligation. Simply email
me with your name, organization, phone number, and grant writing needs. Tell me who you want to help, how you can help, and how a prospective donor could help your cause.

NOTE: I only work with organizations that are based in the United States and have a 501(c)(3) tax exemption.
THE FINE PRINT
Normally,
foundations do not give to individuals—only organizations and
ministries with non-profit status [IRS tax exempt 501(c)(3)] that have specific needs that meet the grantor's guidelines. Please do not waste your time and mine wondering if there are grants available for your piano and violin lessons, college tuition, etc.
Fees
available upon request.
