ABOUT US
Nonprofit Solutions, LLC
The one thread that connects all nonprofits is funding. The world would be a simpler place if it ran on galas, golf tournaments, and spaghetti dinners. Unfortunately, it doesn’t, but many nonprofits rely on these types of fundraising events to sustain their programs and achieve their mission. We know. We’ve been there.
However, an effective development strategy involves many aspects, including a strong grants plan. That entails researching prospective opportunities that match your organization’s mission and goals, cultivating relationships, and crafting winning proposals that can help your organization sustain or grow its programs. If that sounds overwhelming, don’t worry. We’re here to help.
We started Nonprofit Solutions, LLC because grant writing is our passion. We have more than 25 years' combined experience working in the Lehigh Valley, PA community, and we are a registered Fundraising Counsel in the state of Pennsylvania. Our goal is to provide cost-effective solutions that can take your organization to the next level without breaking the bank.
Your time is valuable and your mission is important. Give us a shot and, together, we can make an impact in your community.
