Grant Writing

Successful grant writing is more than simply crossing all of the ‘T’s and dotting all of the ‘I’s. It is about understanding what is compelling about your mission, and then connecting that story with the objectives of potential funders.

Orbis Group has 15-years of experience successfully writing grants totaling millions of dollars.

Contact Orbis Group to find out how we can connect your organization and mission with funding opportunities.

Organizational Development

For an organization to succeed, the people of that organization need to operate successfully as a team and their input must be valued by management through effective budgeting and labor negotiations processes.

By clicking on the Successful Organizations button, you can review Orbis Group’s toolbox of approaches to build winning organizations.

Personality and Temperament Analysis

We are all different. In businesses and organizations, these differences can be the root of our problems or the basis for our success.

Personality and temperament analysis help people to discover their preferences in how they interrelate with others. In doing so, winning teams can be built.

Learn more about Temperament Based Team Building by clicking on the Successful Organizations button.

Public Administration

There are times when an independent viewpoint can bring fresh new answers to old problems that drag down government entities such as cities, counties, school districts, and state and federal agencies.

Orbis Group offers empowering approaches to standard processes such as team building, union negotiations, and public budgeting.

This information is presented in the Successful Organizations section.

Resource Identifier

Communities, businesses, and organizations all can avail themselves of special resources (technical, human, and financial) to help them accomplish their goals….if only they knew where the resources were.

Orbis Group maintains a database—and more importantly, relationships—with key agencies, foundations, and other organizations that are in business to provide such resources.

Contact Orbis and describe your needs, and let our Resource Identifier go to work for you.

Whether it is about the future of your community, business, or organization, Orbis Group helps you to answer the three basic questions:

*Where Are We?

*How Are We Going To Get There?
