| The eagle symbolizes our company, for its far-sighted vision, speed of response and ability to make rapid changes in direction.
However, it is the staff that symbolizes our services. A staff does not walk for you and it doesn't tell you what direction to take. It simply provides support when you need it. In all of our services, whether it is grantwriting, training for staff serving people with disabilities, evaluation of programs - in everything we do, we try to be like that staff - there to depend on to get where you need to be.

GRANTWRITING:Proposals for federal and foundation funding the Spirit Lake way
All proposals begin with a face-to-face discussion between you and one or more of our senior staff members.
- We come to your office and discuss your project. We get to know the needs and strengths of your organization and understand your vision of what you could do if you had the funding to do it.
- Most Project Directors, Academic Deans and College Presidents don't have an extra three or four weeks when they are not doing anything else and can take the time to write a grant proposal. Spirit Lake Consulting can help you find the right funding source and write your proposal according the agency or foundation guidelines, while you continue doing your job.
- Writing a successful proposal requires a statement of need and data to back it up. A solid management plan, a well-justified budget, a plan to address the need and an evaluation to determine the success of your project are all part of a proposal that gets funded. You could probably do all of that if you were not running the program that needs the funding.
How we make life better through grantwriting....
We help you get funding, keep funding and manage the programs for which funding was received.
Educational, Technical and Research Services Based on the Spirit Lake Reservation: We have obtained over $30 million in funding for our clients, guided three successful NCA accreditations for a tribal college and have an enviable record of having 100% of the clients evaluated over the past seventeen years receive continuation funding. When you hire Spirit Lake Consulting you get a business that not only has first-hand knowledge of the reservation experience, but also access to technical and scientific expertise across the nation.
