Non-profits have taken on a new role as grantmakers. Non-profits offer flexibility and responsiveness in grantmaking that can elude larger organizations.

To be successful, non-profits must have grantmaking procedures that are honest, fair, and transparent. They must also demonstrate outcome and achievement.

Headwaters provides services that help non-profits be effective grantmakers. We can help you:

• Research and develop partnerships consistent with the organization's mission
• Assist in developing grantmaking strategies that fulfill organizational goals and deliver the desired results
• Create grantmaking guidelines and evaluation criteria to assure that grantees have the highest opportunity for success
• Establish grant management procedures
• Provide staff training on grant management and evaluation
• Conduct evaluation to ensure the effectiveness of grant programs
• Develop communications strategies to support your programs

Headwaters' staff brings expertise in non-profit organizations, program development, and grantmaking. Our services include program research and planning, grants management, organizational effectiveness and evaluation.
