Prospect Identification

Find the right funders, faster.

Chasing every possible grant can waste time and energy. We help you zero in on the opportunities that actually fit your mission, geography, and capacity. Using professional grant search tools, we identify funders who are most likely to say “yes,” and build a strategy that strengthens relationships before you even apply. You’ll walk away with a 12-month calendar, a prioritized lead list, and a clear plan to stay on track.

What you get:

    • A curated list of aligned prospects
    • A 12-month grant calendar to guide your year
    • Strategies for stronger funder relationships

Concept & Case Design

Tell your story in a way funders can’t ignore.

A strong grant application starts long before you hit “submit.” We work with your team to shape compelling program concepts and make the case for why your work matters. This isn’t cookie-cutter writing—we tailor each proposal to the funder’s priorities, highlight your impact, and position your project as a smart investment.

What you get:

    • Tailored strategies that match funder interests
    • Clear, compelling case statements
    • A stronger foundation for every proposal you submit

Foundation & Corporate Grant Writing

Grow your funding from institutional partners.

Foundation and corporate giving can be game-changing, but keeping up with applications and reporting is a lot. We take the load off your plate by managing the process from start to finish—or partnering with your team on the pieces you need most. From prospecting and proposal writing to building long-term relationships, we make sure your organization is positioned for sustained support.

What you get:

    • Done-for-you proposal writing and submission
    • A full-year prospecting and submission calendar (with annual contracts)
    • Stronger, ongoing relationships with funders

Government Grant Writing

Compete with confidence for large-scale funding.

Government grants can open doors to major new resources—but they’re complex, competitive, and time-intensive. We guide you through the entire process, from strategy and program design to timelines, logic models, and final submission. Our team brings decades of experience and has secured over $100 million in government funding for nonprofits like yours.

What you get:

    • Comprehensive support from concept to submission

    • Competitive proposals aligned with funder priorities

    • A proven partner with a track record of results
