We help nonprofits fund their priorities

through major foundation and corporate grants.


Our clients have seen some success with grants and know they can do more. Their organizations serve a national or regional geography, where philanthropy is most competitive.

Together, we sow strategies that reap years of robust revenue. These are our shared values:

  • Time is precious. You can’t do it all. It’s worth seeking funding partnerships with the greatest potential.

  • Major grants require leadership. No matter your title, you can spark change that propels revenue.

  • Experience breeds success. You crave insights that are hard to find in books and workshops.

If you want to go beyond incremental results, let’s talk about how you can attain that next level.  

You see peer organizations securing major grants and know your nonprofit belongs in the mix. Equip your nonprofit with the tools and skills it needs to compete.

Our work together will create a virtuous cycle: Secure major grants. Become a healthier organization. Leverage that health to secure additional philanthropy.

Clients tell us that the major grants they continue to secure are based in methods we developed together years earlier.

We hired Susan to seed and grow our private grants income. She guided us right to the opportunities that best fit NAMI’s priorities. Our staff now has a sixth sense for the best ways to connect with program officers and position our work. Not only is Susan an invaluable asset to the team, she is a joy to work with, a true extension of our bench. We simply would not be where we are, especially with foundation and corporate giving—seven-figure gifts, triple-digit increases by category—if not for Susan.
