LA Voice is a multi-racial, multi-faith community organization that works to transform LA County into one that reflects the dignity of all people. Elevate first partnered with LA Voice in 2019 through a Writing Capacity Project to address a short-term need for grant writing capacity. Through this initial project, LA Voice quickly came to see the value of Elevate’s professional and holistic grant writing process and elected to expand the partnership into Comprehensive Grant Writing Services. As LA Voice made strides in growing their efforts throughout Los Angeles County, Elevate met the organization’s needs for a more professionalized grants program and expanded capacity for grant writing and prospecting. In turn, this allowed LA Voice’s leadership team to focus on other goals, like expanding their programs and impact.
Many of LA Voice’s grants are large and complex, so together, we created a structured process that includes standard drafting timelines and review sequences, plus attachment prep deadlines and processes. Elevate’s standardized processes and bi-weekly meetings also helped streamline the approval process for LA Voice’s dedicated leadership team – a busy group of strategic leaders with limited time and capacity for reading and editing grants.
Working with Elevate has afforded LA Voice’s executive team the bandwidth they need to invest in the organization’s key priorities, including a merger with Long Beach Interfaith Community Organization (ICO) and an upgrade of their finance infrastructure. And with Elevate managing the grants process, the development team has found they now have the capacity to focus on other forms of fundraising, including individual donor relations and strategic communications.
