Hi, I'm
Ann Taecker

& I'm delighted you're here!

With over 12 years of professional experience in the Grant World, I've had extraordinary success in getting projects funded. I'll work with you to navigate the process of proposal development through submission. When you receive notice that your project is being funded, I will celebrate with you!
And ensure the navigation continues with post-award reporting.

I have been working with funding proposals and grants for more years than I care to admit - for non-profits, artists, collaborations and yes, scientific research. Awards for $500 all the way up to $81.3M are all that I've worked with. I've worked with brand new researchers and guided them through the process that saw them getting their first large federal award ~ on their first submission!

With a strong attention to detail, it seems that I was destined to be pretty good at the Grants Gig. Growing up in a family business whose motto is, 'The Business that Service Built', I've always had
high standards for excellent customer service and you'll find that extends to anyone I work with.

In addition to working with seasoned grant awardees, I am dedicated to mentoring entrepreneurs & beginning researchers. I have a rich resource library you can access for the tools & templates & help docs to ensure your proposal development experience is supported. If you want group training, I create and organize trainings in all phases Grantsmanship whether it is building a compliant budget or crafting a compelling story that gets the reviewers' attention.

I love to engage with and support entrepreneurs! Hearing an entrepreneur's ideas and seeing their passion when they tell me what problem they are going to solve never, ever gets old. There is some seriously great research happening out here on the Prairie ~ and I want to help you be wildly successful in getting your research from the bench or field to the market. And get it in the hands of those who will benefit & prosper from your great ideas!
