GRANT DEVELOPMENT
|
FOUNDATION RESEARCH
Using the latest on-line tools and our own extensive database, PDA searches millions of records to identify prospective foundation donors whose interests and resources meet your needs. We also conduct research into foundation guidelines and submission deadlines.
GRANT WRITING
Winning proposals are no accident. We know what a successful proposal looks like. Our staff works with you to understand your program, the population served and the potential funder in order to craft compelling wording and budgets that make the strongest case.
TRACKING FOUNDATION SUBMISSIONS
PDA staff are vigilant about tracking the foundation application process—from the letter of intent, to the initial Request for Proposal, through the mid year reports and end of grant reports—ensuring that no detail falls through the cracks.

New York City Board of Education
PDA worked closely with The New York City Board of Education, the nation's largest urban public school system, to improve its grant-seeking activities. Providing extensive consulting, training, and evaluation, PDA upgraded the Board's in-house development efforts.
Simon Weisenthal: New York Tolerance Center
PDA is retained by the NYTC to supplement its fundraising efforts. After successfully coordinating a $10 million dollar capital campaign for the New York Tolerance Center, PDA has expanded its efforts, working to bring in new supporters such as foundations, including a large grant from the prestigious Ford Foundation; corporations, ranging from law firms to financial institutions; and private individuals from across the United States. PDA has also been asked to forge key strategic alliances between the New York Tolerance Center and area institutions, such as governmental agencies, universities and secondary schools, corporate diversity programs, and not-for-profit agencies.
