Business ProfileforHere-4-You Consulting

Cost: $5,000 To begin with there was not a lot of direction as to how we were to proceed from the start.We worked with Here-4-You on a funding request to the ***************** Foundation. When we started, we would submit things to them and it would take several days, sometimes a week for them to get back to us. The only thing that they helped us with was to condense the description of the project. After that, all he seemed to want to do was to plug in the information we gave him into the form, with no evaluation as to whether there was a better way to present the information that the organization was looking for. They had no suggestions as to what other material could be submitted, saying that the **** foundation didnt specify what they wanted. They also did not assist us to look at what the foundation said that they were looking for. We realize that perhaps we needed a little more guidance, but as this was our first request, we expected a little more guidance and mentoring, so we could work more independently in the future.During the summer, we did not receive any guidance from Here-4-You as to where we should be going and what we should be doing. We did send an email out with my concerns about this and have never received any feedback. Here-4-You said that we should get something ready for the ********** Foundation. After looking at the application we decided it was best to find someone to assist us.They state they Provide:-A full year of coaching and mentoring, ending up with a fully developed grant writing strategy for your ministry.NO ONE HAS EVER DISCUSSED OR ASSISTED US TO DEVELOP A GRANT WRITING STRATEGY.-10 collaboratively developed funding inquiries (tailored to the interests and requirements of the funders your ministry has identified and submitted)DIFFICULT TO SUBMIT 10 IF THERE HASN'T BEEN ANY HELP IN FINDING 10.We reached out regarding these concerns multiple times and heard little back. After requesting some of our funds back, we heard nothing.
