Since ancient times, civilizations have worked diligently to plant, to sow, and to harvest.  As such, the notion of harvesting conjures images of labor intensive work. And as always, the hope is to have enough hands to assist with a bountiful harvest. 

Earnest Harvest, LLC views the work of grant writing, business planning, and related services as a labor intensive process that requires helping hands that are familiar with the granting process. It is our belief that the importance of seeking support to implement those ideas within you--the ideas you've tossed and tumbled around for awhile now, has led you to Earnest Harvest, LLC.

Whether you are new to the business development process and want  assistance with initial projects,  an experienced writer who needs additional support, or whether you are an established client moving on to the next level of business opportunities, we are here to focus on and to commit to the implementation of your ideas.

We are the helping hands you need. We are here and ready to begin, "harvesting your future, today."
