Independent and corporate foundations are our specialty. What distinguishes our work is its emphasis on major grants—your largest, most leverageable private awards.

Clients regularly report that our customized engagement set them on a path toward exponentially greater revenue.

If you see your peers making news for their funding partnerships and think that your nonprofit has the same potential, let’s talk about how you can achieve:

• Increased revenue

• Strategies that marry the aspirational with the practical

• Deepened relationships with your most promising funders

• Sharpened positioning for your funding strategies, programs, and proposals

• Added engagement from your colleagues

• Momentum toward ever-larger, more impactful grants

Whether your organization seeks to dip its toe into the national funding landscape or build upon previous success, our model has dramatically increased nonprofits’ ability to fund their priorities. 

You have few or no colleagues with major grants experience. You’d value a thought partner and a next-stage roadmap. Our assessment will give you:

• Clarity on where your plan is sound and how to overcome obstacles

• Recommendations on how best to spend your limited time

• Increased competitive differentiation

• Answers to your grant-related questions

• Customized suggestions to involve your colleagues in grant seeking

• Improved chances of getting funders’ attention

Customizable speaking and training topics will empower your development, management or C-suite team to collectively adopt the mindset and practices needed to develop foundation and corporate partnerships: 

• What Are Major Grants and How Can They Help Your Nonprofit?

• From Modest to Major Grants

• What the Best Grant Seekers Know

• Securing Grants from Top-Tier Foundations

• Solicitation Success in a Competitive Marketplace

• Power Your Grant Budget to Attract Major Foundation Funders

Susan was excellent. One of the best presenters I've ever heard. She was organized, gave great examples! Would love to hear more from her on grant related topics in the future.
