Grant Writing
Over $468 Million in Grant Awards for our Clients
At the Federal, State, and Local Levels
As of the end of 2023, SAE BHC is proud to have assisted agencies in being awarded a combined total of $468,775,000 million dollars in federal funding to advance behavioral health services across the country. We are still pending the total outcome of our state applications.
We credit the expertise and teams-led approach of our grant writing staff, cross-supported by excellent reviewers and content expertise, with each client agency and grant application team closely supported by our internal QA protocols, with these successes.
SAE has a well-honed, unique teams-led approach to ensure quality assurance and quality improvement processes. We develop highly competitive grant proposals by:
- Identifying appropriate funding opportunities;
- Matching content-expert writers to specific funding opportunities;
- Aligning & vetting proposed goals with each agency’s capacity;
- Designing innovative and evidence-based programs that match agencies to current funding priorities;
- Recommending strategic partners to strengthen proposals’ competitiveness;
- Promoting, with fidelity, each organization’s unique strengths and capabilities;
- Supporting clients with personalized timelines and checklists to measure and drive efficient progress;
- Ensuring full compliance with funders’ evaluation criteria and timelines.
- In addition, we structure our review as blind-reviewers to duplicate the high-stakes review process each application must surpass to gain funding, strengthening our writers and supporting our client agencies to their fullest expressed potential.
Our Approach
Every situation is unique, as is every provider or agency. Our teams of successful grant writing experts are vetted and selected based on your agency-identified needs and personalized strategies for implementation.
We provide:
- Supporting documents;
- Related resources & research;
- Readiness assessment and training;
- Content expertise to match the application requirements;
- A series of calendared checklists designed to provide you up to date progress reports that highlight each next critical step in your application process while making the most efficient use of your most valuable resource – your time; and
- Two narrative reviews of the grant application, prioritizing a single, coherent voice and point of view that consistently funnels back to the application’s original statement of need.
