Grant Management 


Schmidt Grant Consulting can provide your organization with administrative services necessary to meet the reporting, and program implementation requirements of grantmaking organizations.  Please call 517-879-8119 to discuss your grant management needs.

Program Design and Development


Many nonprofits seek grant funds to expand existing programs or develop new programs. In either case, you will need to have a clearly designed and developed program that will catch a funder’s attention and meet their funding priorities.


Schmidt Grant Consulting works with your organization to develop your program’s idea, design, and deliverables that will have a measurable impact in your community--and appeal to a potential funder.


Many grants require some measure of project design, and this service is included in our overall cost for preparing your grant.

We also offer program design and development as a stand-alone service to help you build your program and your grant readiness. Our comprehensive design and development process includes:


  • Researching the need for the program.
  • Analyzing your organization’s readiness to begin or expand a program.
  • Locating potential funding opportunities.


Developing a clear plan for how you will support, deliver, evaluate, and sustain the program.
Schmidt Grant Consulting has extensive experience helping organizations design and implement high impact community projects in:


  • Post-secondary education
  • K-12 education
  • Youth services programs
  • Human service programs
  • Substance abuse prevention
  • Juvenile justice initiatives
  • Marriage and relationship programs
  • Volunteer capacity building


Let us help your organization achieve your project design and grant funding goals!
