The work of any grant making body ebbs and flows.  Busy funding rounds are often followed by a lull before the next funding round begins again.

The presence of these quiet periods means that employment of a permanent staff member – even a permanent part-timer – is often an inefficient use of resources. 

Red Horse Consulting's philanthropic clients use us only on an 'as required' basis. This is a practical method of dealing with the cyclical nature of the grant making process.

Our clients gain a senior, experienced grant manager for less than the cost of junior part-time project officer.

Our clients can attest to our skills, hard work and integrity.

During the course of a funding round Red Horse Consulting can
(as required):

• respond to applicant queries,
• administer the receipt of proposals,
• conduct in-depth assessments of proposals,
• present the assessment to the selection committee or Board,
• draft and dispatch notifications to unsuccessful applicants,
• manage the contract negotiation process with successful applicants,
• manage the disbursement of funds,
• follow up and collect grantee progress and final reports,
• deliver a comprehensive review of the funding round process, and
• deliver best-practice record keeping policies.

Our Red Horse Consultants have many years experience assessing and managing government and philanthropic grant programs.

At Red Horse Consulting, we firmly believe in developing old-fashioned relationships based on mutual respect.  Our working style is friendly and collaborative – we listen, discuss, share and consult.  We engage with all stakeholders, welcoming their suggestions and making sure their concerns are addressed and allayed.
