Grant Systems and Strategy

I’ll work with you to create a clear grantseeking strategy as well as templates, calendars, boilerplate, and systems so you don’t have to scramble on each and every application.

One thing I’ve learned over the years is that fast, accurate, successful grant writing requires great systems. But too often, an organization approaches grants on an ad hoc, as needed basis, resulting in inconsistent applications, last minute deadlines, and a misalignment between a funder’s interests and your organization’s work.

Whether you’re in between development directors, or have never had a full-time position on staff, you may feel that your grant systems aren’t serving you. I’ll help you develop a strategic approach to grantseeking.

My offerings include:

  • Mission and money matrix

  • 12-month grant calendar

  • Funder research templates

  • Strategy screen for new funding opportunities

  • Boilerplate libraries

  • Grantseeking audit and action items

Why work with me?

I’ve led fundraising and grants strategy for a multimillion dollar organization, and I’ve worked with dozens of nonprofits of varying sizes to build out grant calendars and systems.

I’ve helped both new and established organizations rethink their grant strategy by developing and using tools to assess fit and prioritize funding opportunities. Regardless of where you are in the grantseeking process, I’ll work with you to understand what your greatest needs are, and create resources to help you address those needs.

I know firsthand the chaos that can result from the “throwing spaghetti at the wall” method of grantseeking—and I’m here to help you go from that to a thoughtful, strategic approach that yields results.

Pricing

My offerings can be combined into robust packages or engaged piecemeal. 

I always strive for transparency in my work, timelines, and pricing, so there are no surprises.

  • For seasonal needs or time-bound capacity crunches, I offer services on an hourly basis.

    Rates begin at $120/hour.

  • For ongoing needs throughout the year, I offer services at a set price for a bundle of hours. These partnerships allow me to develop a deeper understanding of your organization.

    Rates start at $2,000/month for up to 20 hours/month.

  • For large, complex, time-bound projects, I’ll work with you to determine an agreed-upon project scope and defined deliverables.

    Rate varies depending on project.
