If you never dot your I’s, or cross your T’s.  Our communities need your continued support and services.

If you’ve never registered your nonprofit, separated personal and business bank accounts you still have time.

If your nonprofit doesn’t have the monitoring & evaluation, or other administrative and operations components for grant award consider outsourcing or contracting.  Outsourcing or contracting in partnership with a member of BEMA International.

Times have changed.  Those that do the work, the ‘boots on the ground’ before, during, and after a disaster or crisis NEED THE FUNDING.

There are grant writers that are members of BEMA International.  Your standing as a member gives you exclusive access to their full range of services.  Trust and credibility are two of the cornerstones of BEMA International.

We have vetted other members and their services.

Plan accordingly.  You are not alone.
