Improve Your Chance of Grant Success With a US Tour!
In our guides to Public Funding we’ve taken you through the steps needed to apply for grants to bolster your American expansion.
We’re confident that, with the right support to become grant ready and learn about Available Programs, undertake effective Grant Research and get skilled support with Grant Writing you can create proposals that stand an excellent chance of success.
Our team has extensive experience working with both European entrepreneurs and business professionals in the US, and we have a network of skilled grant researchers and writers who know how to maximize the value of each of your applications. This package of support should help you to get well on the way to winning Public Funding – and much closer to living your American dream.
But, our support doesn’t stop there! To take your grant search to the next level, we’ve designed a special US Grants Roadshow, developed especially to put you into direct, personal contact with US-based grant funders.
Here’s what we can offer you…
Getting a Head Start With Grant Collaboration
Winning grants in a competitive sphere is about learning how to take a truly collaborative approach with grant funders. Getting a potential collaboration off the ground means building great relationships with funders. How do you build the most effective relationships? By meeting in person!
Mount Bonnell Advisors can help you to get that headstart with your applications by arranging a Grants Roadshow for you so you can connect with grant decision makers. We’ll arrange a visit to the US and introduce you to people who can help you to build your Public Funding network.
A Grants Roadshow has several advantages for your application process and for your project overall. By meeting local funders, you get the chance to network and deepen your understanding of the economic and social needs of the area you’re interested in.
This can be an incredible fact-finding trip for you as you learn about the local economy and how it works in the location you want to move your business to. You’ll have the opportunity to meet key players and discover what their priorities are, how they want to impact their location, and how you can help them on that journey.
Why Funders Like to Meet Potential Grant Applicants
When you apply for Public Funding in the US you need to convince grant funders that your project is going to serve the interests of their Town, City or other location. But, just like you have to answer to funders, they also have to answer to how they’ve chosen to allocate precious resources.
For this reason, it’s a great idea to meet officials in person as this can help them discover if you are a good fit, and give them confidence that considering your application will be of benefit to their Town or City.
Grants are all about investing in each other. A grant is not a corporate loan – but an investment from the City in the future of your business. And your contribution is an investment in your new community. It’s a two-way street, and a Roadshow is your chance to develop relationships that will support this mutual investment.
Potential funders such as mayors and other officials are often keen to meet people interested in their locale. They’ve usually gained the position they have because they are rightly proud of their Town or City and they want to know they are welcoming projects who will share in this pride.
And, what better way to show them you’re serious about becoming a partner who will help them meet their objectives than taking the time to visit them and their City?
The Grants Roadshow
During our roadshow, we’ll introduce you to key officials who can show you around so you can see their Town. This gives you a chance to build rapport and discover how the local politics of your ideal location work on the ground. Then we’ll arrange for you to present your proposal and pitch your grant application.
We work alongside experienced grant consultants who know the local area and have the right contacts to make these meetings happen, as well as drawing on our own network of contacts that we’ve built in the decade and more that we’ve been working in the US.
We’ll get you prepared for the meetings and ensure your presentation is of great quality in the run-up to the trip. Then, once the formalities are over we’ll take you out so you can enjoy yourself, get to know the City and maybe even spend some time in a less formal setting with local officials.
