Grant Management

Managing a successful grant program requires careful planning, administration, and evaluation to ensure that funds are awarded to the most impactful projects. At Ability Consultants, we offer a comprehensive End-to-End Grant Management Service, designed to handle every aspect of your grant program, from the design of applications and scoring criteria to the final approval of selected recipients. Our service is tailored to meet the needs of grant funders, ensuring a seamless and transparent process that maximises the impact of your funding.

Designing the Application and Scoring Criteria

A well-designed application process is key to receiving high-quality submissions that align with your goals. We work with you to create clear, concise grant application forms that capture all necessary information from applicants. Additionally, we develop a customised scoring framework that reflects your specific criteria, ensuring that applications are evaluated fairly and consistently. Our team takes the time to understand your funding priorities, enabling us to design a process that meets both your objectives and the needs of your applicants.

Administering Enquiries and Applications

We manage all incoming enquiries, providing guidance and support to applicants throughout the process. Our team handles the administrative side of your grant program, including the submission, organisation, and tracking of applications. This allows us to streamline the process for both funders and applicants, ensuring that everything runs smoothly and efficiently. From answering questions to managing deadlines, we take care of the details, so you don’t have to.

Shortlisting and Trustee Review

Once applications are received and scored, we prepare a shortlist of the most promising projects for review. We present this shortlist to your trustees or board members, providing them with clear, detailed reports on each applicant, including how they scored against your criteria. This allows your team to make informed decisions and select the projects that best align with your funding goals.

Due Diligence and Final Approvals

Ensuring that grant recipients meet all legal and financial requirements is crucial. We conduct thorough due diligence on shortlisted applicants, verifying their credentials, financial stability, and the sustainability of their projects. Once due diligence is complete, we assist in finalising the grant awards, ensuring that all necessary paperwork and agreements are in place.
