Can I help you meet your goals?

“We rise by lifting others” -Robert Ingersoll

What I Do

Hank Center provides grant writing, research, and consulting for both established and start-up non-profits, and public agencies. Our guiding philosophy is to provide focused attention to best serve each client fairly and honestly, in a simple and straightforward manner, and to measure our success in the achievements of others.

Coaching

Workshops can be designed for the needs of your organization. Past workshops include The Assessment, Introduction to Grant Writing, How to Eat an Elephant, and Basic Fundraising Strategies. Full or Half Day Sessions Available.

Speaking

I love to tell stories and these motivational talks based on my personal experience and the experience of people with whom I have worked will inspire and challenge the audience. Keynotes include Overcoming Obstacles to Achieve Greatness, Practicing the Power of Gratitude, and The Universal Principles of Success.

Writing

Grantwriting is crucial to the success and development of any fundraising plan. I can help you from the initial assessment to the final draft of grant proposals for Community Foundations, Private and Family Foundations, Corporate Giving Programs, State, Local, and Federal grant programs.

“I had the privilege of working with Hank Center on the New Mexico Roundup where he served as Boardmember and Workshop Chairperson. He has a genuine talent for gathering people together and helping them find their true voice through his interesting workshops and leadership abilities.”

“Having served in the nonprofit sector for 13 years, I recognize a person who approaches community service with heart and expertise. Hank and I have had numerous discussions regarding his long history of nonprofit connections. From research to writing style, Hank takes the time to pull together a fully professional presentation. Not only is he a consummate learner in the nonprofit arena, Hank creates grants that express the position of need with clarity and obvious interest in the organization. Which, in turn, makes the reader interested in the organization. From my perspective, that makes him the clear choice to be a grant writer for your project.”

Hank is a talented and hardworking professional who has demonstrated a great deal of experience in working collaboratively to develop, implement, and evaluate nonprofit programs. He proved himself to be a well-organized professional who can manage various projects and tasks successfully and has demonstrated a commitment to seeing things through to fruition. I have greatly enjoyed working with Hank and look forward to working together in the future.

As the co-founder of The Legacy Foundation of SC, it has been my pleasure to work with Hank Center in our effort to strategically plan the efforts and goals of the foundation. Mr. Center brings a wealth of knowledge from working in the nonprofit sector, the professionalism verbiage necessary to apply for grants, a vision to fundraise, and the patience to see our mission through to the end. It is no doubt in my mind that we have chosen the right person to build our Organizational Development and Strategic Plans.
