Your Development Team

As a full-service development team, available at the budget and level you need to meet your mission we can help you stay focused while taking care of the often complex and time-sensitive duties of Chief Development Officers, grant writers, fundraisers, event planners, grant managers, and stewards of your funding relationships.

Our experience working directly with boards and nonprofits from startup to legacy allows us to make the process of planning, accountability, and annual reporting a value add to the revenue process, and less of a burden for you.

Grant Writing & ReSEARCH

We have a collective 50 years of experience with Federal and state grant writing to major agencies such as DOT, DOE, NIH, NEA, HHS, IHS, EDA, FDA, and others.

Our team is unique in our approach to developing your project to an application ready state as well as completing the proposal. Our network of skilled analysts, engineers, and grant writers with decades of operations, construction, and public agency experience will help you turn a need into a solution through state and federal funding.

We also have experience generating millions of dollars in revenue through private grants and foundations and can fully manage or help you develop an effective prospecting, pipeline, and management process for sustaining your nonprofit and its programming long-term.

Fundraising

Our team’s deep knowledge and experience allows us to drive a holistic and successful fundraising strategy for your nonprofit including funding from:

• State and Federal agencies

• Direct donor campaigns

• Social media campaigns

• High net-worth donor cultivation

• Relationship-based, private invitation, and corporate social responsibility

Capital Campaigns, PLANNING, ASSESSMENT

Our work in planning, analysis, feasibility, design, and funding of major construction and civil infrastructure is impacting:

• Access to clean, maintainable drinking water for indigenous peoples

• Economic development and local job creation

• Human and animal services

• The availability of primary and secondary education to urban youth

• Internet connectivity

• Access to mental and substance abuse health services for underserved and vulnerable populations

Operations, Accounting, and Audit

Achieving funding is often the easier part of managing a nonprofit. The ongoing and mission-critical process of accounting for funds raised, maintaining funder relationships, and providing transparency and accountability all take time away from the mission.

Our network of experience grant managers and operations experts have the skills and experience to ease the burden of compliance while increasing the likelihood those funders are willing to make continued, growing investments in your cause.

With audited financials a constant expectation of most major funders, we can help prepare you to meet that test of quality with confidence.
