Hospitals

Are you short on nursing staff? Nurse educators? Does your workforce development need stronger ties to community based organizations to help address social determinants of health? Do your researchers need funds for innovation?

Department of Labor, National Institute of Health, and the Economic Development Agency have grants for your organization.

Municipalities

Does your criminal justice department need professional development on sexual assault prevention? Does your workforce development department need stronger ties to community based organizations or help with marketing and recruitment? Do you know what your employers need?

The Department of Justice, Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Labor, and Economic Development Agency have grants for your municipality.

Higher education

Do you need a way to incorporate the humanities throughout your institution? Equipment to run your labs? Training in belonging? Individual fellowships for researchers? Large projects geared to student success?

In the current 2025 grants landscape, if federal grants are accepting solicitations, it is wise to apply. However, it is vital to be ready for state grants that may take over some forms of federal funding -- as well as to increase you capacity for foundation and corporate grants.

Whether your nonprofit has 5 employees or 1,000 employees, WISSEN is here to help you with your grants and contracts. First, we'll assess where you are: Do you have a process in place for grants and/or contracts? Are roles and responsibilities clearly spelled out? Next, we'll recommend a work structure for you and assess your services for funding readiness. Perhaps your staff has a history of writing grants, but needs a refresher. Coaching services might be best. Or, perhaps your staff is at capacity and just needs someone to take the reins and write the application. We'll do that, too.

Businesses

Businesses are eligible for a wide range of grants designed to support innovation, research, and development. These include Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grants, which provide funding for small businesses to engage in federal research and development with the potential for commercialization.

Additionally, businesses can access grants for technology development, workforce training, environmental sustainability, and community development projects. Our services help identify the most suitable funding opportunities, craft compelling grant proposals, and navigate the application process to maximize the chances of securing essential funding.
