Currently, up to 20 percent of local government funding comes from grants. In today’s economy, in order for projects to be maintained and renewed, it is essential to keep updated on available funding opportunities. Our grants management software is the foundation for some of the most successful grant organizations in the country. eCivis provides local governments and community organizations with the following key benefits through its Grants Network Products and Grant Professional Services:
Top grant writers — eCivis provides top grant writers with an extraordinary average win rate of 80%. Led by Dr. Bev Browning, eCivis works with only the best grant writers to ensure that your projects have the best chance of being funded.
Professional research — In today’s economy, local governments do not have the resources or budget to properly research funding opportunities that can help fund projects and improve communities. eCivis has a dedicated research department that reviews every funding opportunity so your organization can easily identify relevant grants.
