Project Approach
California Consulting is a full service grant writing firm. Our team members are experts in the fields of grant research and identification, preparing comprehensive and concise grant application packages, submitting grants in a timely fashion, and following through after the grant has been submitted to determine the status of the application.
California Consulting has a fundamental business philosophy founded on open communication and customizing each application.
1. Funding Needs Analysis: (In-Depth Meeting with Department Heads to review priorities and funding needs). Our team members learn about the client at the outset of the contract by conducting an indepth Needs Assessment on a Zoom call with City Staff. Each client is assigned to a lead Project Manager and this Project Manager meets with the client regularly and on an ongoing basis.
2. Needs Assessment: (In-Depth Meeting with City Staff to review priorities and funding needs). We learn about the client at the outset of the contract by conducting an in-depth Needs Assessment. Each client is assigned to a lead Project Manager and they meet with the client regularly and continue dialog with them on an ongoing basis. This relationship-building is the key to keeping the grants pursued on target with the client’s overall goals.
Sample questions asked during the Needs Assessment:
List and describe any program initiatives or priority projects. What needs, projects or content areas would you like to target for funding? Client can list specific projects or general areas in which you have funding needs. List any grants for which you are considering applying or have decided to apply. In addition, please list what kind of grant-writing support would be helpful for each grant. List past grant applications you would like to revise and submit again. • The Client will provide an established point of contact for the California Consulting Project Manager to contact regarding the grant.
• California Consulting will have reasonable access to the required information and documentation required to complete the grant on behalf of the Client. • The Client will provide the required information and documentation in a timely manner in order for California Consulting to submit the grant by the deadline. • California Consulting will provide a monthly report listing the Grant Opportunities we recommend for the Client based on the input from the Staff through ongoing communication. • We will provide the Client with monthly written reports on grants written, grants in progress, along with upcoming grant opportunities.
• We will provide training to Staff in preparation for successful grant proposals and applications.
3. Grant Funding Research and Identification: Our Project Management Team is an expert in grant identification. They conduct thorough research on an ongoing basis. We have several grant-related search engines and List Service websites we subscribe to in order to research all current and upcoming Federal, State, and Private Grants.

The Project Manager will assist the Client in deciding which grants fit best with the Client’s projects that were identified at the CA Consulting

Needs Assessment. The Project Manager will be able to advise the Client on the strength of the Client’s project when competing for the grant and will make recommendations based on the Client’s budget and ability to meet the grant requirements, as well as any other factors regarding grant agency guidelines. Our team’s grant funding research will include no/no go analysis and our search will include the following but not be limited to:

5. Grant Proposal Development: Our Project Management Team will write all sections of the grant application. Once a grant has been identified, we work with staff to interpret guidelines and gather information necessary for a strong proposal and application. By learning about the Client’s history, needs, and how the award will positively impact the Client’s project, we are able to communicate that information with a clear and concise grant package to get the agency’s attention. When your staff and California Consulting agree to develop a grant proposal, we will develop a checklist and schedule. The checklist and schedule will include what items the Client will be responsible for and a timeline as to when we will need them submitted to our office. California Consulting retains copies of all grants we have submitted. If a similar grant application was previously approved, we will use this application as a guide when creating the Client’s application.
Below is a list of general tasks for our grant process:
a. Review similar successful grant applications and apply where possible b. Collect information on the project
c. Meet with staff to create an accurate scope of work, budget, timeline, narratives, and cost analysis
d. Attend pre-proposal conferences, and webinars, as necessary e. Coordinate with local agencies and organizations as needed when applying for collaborative grants

Additional lnsured To This
lnsurance
That is other insurance available to an
additional insured.
However, the following Provisions
apply to other insurance available to
any person or organization who is an
additional insured under this Coverage
Part:
(a) Primary lnsurance When
Required By Contract
This insurance is primary if you
have agreed in a wriften contract,
written agreement or Permit that
this insurance be primary. lf other
insurance is also primary, we will
share with all that other insurance
by the method described in c.
below.
(b) Primary And Non-Gontributory
To Other lnsurance When
Required By Contract
lf you have agreed in a written
contract, written agreement or
permit that this insurance is
primary and non-contributory with
the additional insured's own
insurance, this insurance is
primary and we will not seek
contribution from that other
insurance.
Paragraphs (a) and (b) do not apply to
other insurance to which the additional
insured has been added as an
additional insured.
When this insurance is excess, we will
have no duty under this Coverage Part to
defend the insured against any "suit" if any
other insurer has a duty to defend the
insured against that "suit". lf no other
insurer defends, we will undertake to do
so, but we will be entitled to the insured's
rights against all those other insurers.
BUSINESS LIABILITY COVERAGE FORM
\Mren this insurance is excess over other
insurance, we will pay only our share of
the amount of the loss, if any, that
exceeds the sum of:
(1) The total amount that all such other
insurance would pay for the loss in the
absence of this insurance; and
(21 The total of all deductible and selfinsured amounts under all that other insurance.
We will share the remaining loss, if any, with
any other insurance that is not described in
this Excess lnsurance provision and was not
bought specifically to apply in excess of the
Limits of lnsurance shown in the
Declarations of this Coverage Part.
c. Method Of Sharing
lf all the other insurance permits
contribution by equal shares, we will follow
this method also. Under this approach,
each insurer contributes equal amounts
until it has paid its applicable limit of
insurance or none of the loss remains,
whichever comes first.
lf any of the other insurance does not permit
contribution by equal shares, we will
contribute by limits. Under this method, each
insure/s share is based on the ratio of its
applicable limit of insurance to the total
applicable limits of insurance of all insurers.
8. Transfer Of Rights Of Recovery Against
Others To Us
a. Transfer Of Rights Of Recovery
lf the insured has rights to recover all or
part of any payment, including
Supplementary Payments, we have made
under this Coverage Part, those rights are
transferred to us. The insured must do
nothing after loss to impair them. At our
request, the insured will bring "suit" or
transfer those rights to us and help us
enforce them. This condition does not
apply to Medical Expenses Coverage.
b. Waiver Of Rights Of Recovery (Waiver
Of Subrogation)
lf the insured has waived any rights of
recovery against any Person or
organization for all or part of any payment,
including Supplementary Payments, we
have made under this Coverage Part, we
also waive that right, provided the insured
waived their rights of recovery against
such person or organization in a contract,
agreement or permit that was executed
prior to the injury or damage.
