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 build the in-house capacity to secure significant awards for years to come. These are our shared values:
Time is precious. You can’t do it all. It’s worth seeking funding partnerships with the greatest potential.
Ambition is essential. You can champion major grants within your organization no matter your title.
Insight is invaluable. You crave guidance that’s hard to find in books and workshops.
If you want to break through funding plateaus, 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 information and tools it needs to compete.
Our model creates a virtuous cycle. Here’s what it looks like at a high level: Build credibility. Leverage that credibility. Secure major grants.
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.
