SAE BHC assisted 17 agencies to receive federal funding in 2022, resulting in a combined total of $65 million dollars in behavioral health services across the country. We credit the expertise of our grant writing staff and our excellent reviewers and consultants’ extensive content proficiency in behavioral health and human services.  

 

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 proposed goals with each agency’s capacity;
  • Designing innovative and evidence-based programs that match your current funding priorities;
  • Recommending strategic partners to strengthen proposals’ competitiveness;
  • Promoting an organization’s unique strengths and capabilities;
  • Supporting clients with personalized timelines and checklists to measure progress and increase efficiency;
  • Ensuring full compliance with funders’ evaluation criteria and timelines.

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;
  • 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.
