Our services.

Lakeview Consulting knows that not every company looking for help with grant funding has the same needs or goals. But we’ve recognized that most fit into one of three categories. Which one best describes you?

Ongoing Consulting

This is our most comprehensive offering. You’ll receive full consulting services on an ongoing basis , paid monthly. Includes a full suite of services inclusive of grant and incentive research, application development/submission, and post-award management assistance as well as strategic planning, market research and analysis, and other services that support funding your success.

Services Include:

  • Strategic Grant Planning: We align grant projects with your business and strategic plans to maximize funding success.
  • Resource Connection: We help identify and connect you with funding and organizational resources to support your objectives.
  • Registration Assistance: We assist with registration on state and federal grant portals.
  • Application Development/Submission: We write and develop foundation, state, and federal grant applications on your behalf and oversee the submission process.
  • Funding Prioritization: We help prioritize funding opportunities based on project fit, deadlines, and timelines.
  • Ongoing Grant Monitoring: Acting as your outsourced grants department, we continuously track grant and incentive opportunities—especially valuable for multi-state operations.
  • Grant Readiness Support: We assess your grant readiness, provide templates, and coach your team to reduce effort in federal applications.
  • Monthly Strategy Meetings: We hold monthly reviews to evaluate opportunities, prioritize funding efforts, and refine your strategy for maximum success.
  • Funding Strategy Execution and Adjustment: In collaboration with your team, we execute your funding strategy and adjust it monthly based on evolving opportunities.
  • Core Business Document Development: We will help you develop/refine business plans, strategic plans, certification documents and other vital documents to help you expand your market and run your business!
  • Market Research: We will conduct research for specific trends and insights from the market for your industry, potential new avenues for projects, reshoring opportunities, and more.

Standalone Services

A variety of services that are offered a-la-cart as a single engagement/project. This includes grant research, strategic plan development, single grant application review and editing, market research, and other services that could be considered to be standalone with a specific objective and deliverable.

Services Include:

  • Research Projects:We help identify grants and incentives to support your objectives and planned investments.
  • Core Business Document Development: We will help you develop/refine critical strategic business documentation such as strategic plans, business plans, pitch decks, etc.
  • Application Review:We will provide feedback, scoring, and editing of a foundation, state, and federal grant application you have developed.
  • Market Research: We will conduct research for specific trends and insights from the market for your industry, potential new avenues for projects, reshoring opportunities, and more.
  • Application Development/Submission: A single grant application/submission project can be considered for a standalone service on a case-by-case basis. In general, grant writing services are only available via an ongoing consulting package.

Coaching Services

Coaching services that can be purchased in increments of 30hrs, 60hrs, 100 hours. Unlike consulting, coaching services are predicated on you and your team doing the work of research, writing, etc. and our team providing feedback on fit and alignment of opportunities you have identified, scoring and editing of proposals/application you have developed, coaching and preparation for meetings with partners/funders, helping develop your funding strategy, and prioritizing funding efforts. For example, your team would be responsible for drafting an application. Lakeview would then score and provide feedback and some editing of the application and help coach you through the process for submitting through the applicable grant submission portal once the proposal is finalized.

Services Include:

  • Strategic Grant Plan Coaching: We review opportunities you have identified and advise on alignment and strategy.
  • Resource Connection: We recommend resources to aid in your pursuit of grant funding and other incentives.
  • Registration Assistance: We assist with registration on state and federal grant portals.
  • Application Review: We will provide feedback and light editing of foundation, state, and federal grant applications on your behalf.
  • Grant Readiness Support: We provide and walk through our grant readiness checklist, provide templates, and coach your team to reduce effort in federal applications.
  • Periodic Strategy Meetings: We hold reviews to evaluate opportunities you’ve identified, prioritize funding efforts, and refine your strategy for maximum success.
  • Core Business Document Review: We will provide feedback to help you refine business plans, strategic plans, certification documents and other vital documents to help you expand your market and run your business!
