Healthcare IT Transition Group has expert experience in securing grants and related funding, and in helping organizations explore the changing landscape of government and private funding opportunities.
Michael Christopher of Healthcare IT Transition Group offers more than twenty years of experience in securing capital for public and private projects using a wide range of fundraising methods. From a healthcare information technology build-out in a mid-sized nonprofit provider funded by private foundations, to state- and federally-funded projects involving long-term relationship-building with legislators and local gatekeepers, this expertise can help you understand your options for seeking dollars, and help you secure support through:
- Assessing Eligibility - Identifying fundable components and your organization's eligibility; identifying and smoothing governance concerns
- Convening the Team - Inside and outside of your organization, you'll need key players with early buy-in, and a liaison who speaks the languages of both health IT and grantsmanship
- Partner Harmony - An objective presence in a multi-organization effort; leveraging existing fundraising resources across organizations
- Building the Case - Planning and authoring the Comprehensive Case Statement, the core document that guides a successful funding effort
- Assessing Sources - Grant research, from the Federal Register to private databases, sources are available for healthcare IT projects
- Grantwriting - Experience in municipal, state, regional and federal programs
- Grant Administration - Putting procedures in place for tracking funders' investments, measuring the impact of their dollars, and meeting reporting requirements
