Welcome to grantwinners.net. We are the grants consulting practice of Heather Denkmire in Portland, Maine, and we have been helping nonprofits find and win funding since 2003. Our clients have ranged from small volunteer-run groups to organizations managing federal awards. Today most of our work is with long-term partners like Recovery Is Happening and Lutherans Restoring Creation, and we tailor our work to each organization’s particular needs and capacity.

At grantwinners.net we say, “don’t hire a grant writer; be a grant winner!”

Hiring a consultant to simply “write grant applications” can be risky. Strong writing skills are important, but we suggest you shouldn’t hire a grant writer—and instead should be a grant winner—because you are the most qualified to tell your story. It’s true that we can help you, but without your intimate knowledge of your organization and its programs, grant applications will fall flat.

It is through assessment, research, planning, proposal preparation, and other services that grantwinners.net can work with you to secure the partnerships and funds you need—to turn grant writing into grant winning! We can establish (or strengthen!) your grants program, and we can help you keep the grant-winning process moving.

grantwinners.net is one part of Heather’s consulting work. At heatherdenkmire.net you’ll find her other services for small nonprofits, including custom apps, websites, and grant compliance and management.
