The difference between a good grant application and a great one, is winning the award! winning requires accurately projecting how your proposal will score.

Grants
LAPA can manage your grant writing—including government grants, private foundation proposals, corporate cause-marketing contracts, certificates of need, value-based care business plans, evaluation design, FQHC feasibility studies, and more.
Our specialists will introduce you to grant opportunities you likely never knew existed. Then they will write, present, and follow up with funders to make sure that your requests have been given every possible chance to succeed.
Throughout our grant application process, we frame your needs in the most compelling ways.
We identify truly receptive funders whose priorities match your own and whose interests are evaluated prior to each proposal’s submission.
Along the way, we carefully scrutinize and determine how you will score.

Government Contracts
Federal, state, and local governments award hundreds of millions of dollars annually to organizations like yours. Yet winning a government grant is a highly competitive process, and grant writers must know how to interpret a request for proposals (RFP), decide if the grant worth pursuing, address the funder’s requests, and assemble the right documentation. That’s a tricky process with no room for error—and that’s why so many nonprofits turn to LAPA for grant writing services.
We have a team of interdisciplinary advisors and skilled grant writers who are ready to be deployed at a moment’s notice when you need capacity the most.
Our experienced grant writers have proven track records of winning big awards for our clients and are supervised by fundraising veterans and topic experts in health care, behavioral health, youth and family development, and social determinants of health models.

Evaluation Services
A sound, independent evaluation plan—that is also well communicated in your grant proposal—is often a key deciding factor in whether you secure an award. LAPA provides you with cutting-edge evaluation services.
We have a pool of trained evaluators that we can bring into the application process. Should your grant be funded, one of our evaluators would become part of your team to monitor project evaluation and write reports to the funder. LAPA partners with Philliber Research Associates and other social scientists and researchers when needed.
LAPA’s evaluation services include the following:
- Logic model design and implementation.
- Custom evaluations that serve the needs of all stakeholders (the grant maker, your staff, your board, and the communities you serve).
- Client data collection to produce high-quality, actionable information. This service also allows you to make data-driven decisions about your program delivery.
- Compliance with funders' required reports and client surveys.
