Learn how SPS Group supported a non-profit organization with federal grant writing, program planning, execution and reporting. 

A multi-state Community Development Financial Institution. 

Support in securing new revenue through grant research, writing and submission. Support creating and executing the financial and programmatic components of a 1-year federal grant with the objective of serving disadvantaged and rural business owners across 3 States.

SPS Group provided the organization with comprehensive support from start to finish of grant funded small business programs. This included:

•  Grant Writing: We assisted the organization in researching and applying to applicable federal grants that were mission-aligned. 
• Curriculum Development: When the organization was awarded the coveted federal grant, we curated a hybrid in-person and online small business accelerator curriculum to be delivered by local subject matter experts in English and Spanish across 9 communities.
• Marketing and Outreach: SPS Group designed a marketing and outreach strategy that included forging partnerships with local chamber of commerce and economic development organizations; we created templates and standard operating procedures for digital and print marketing, program applications, speaker recruitment and training, participant communications, and surveys.
• Project Management: We developed collaborative timelines and assignment of tasks to ensure the project deliverables were delivered on-time and within budget, and that there was consistent communications amongst internal and external stakeholders.
• Grant Compliance: SPS Group designed templates and processes to help the organization track and manage the grant’s financial and programmatic goals. We supported the client in completing and submitting quarterly reports.
