A nonprofit foundation in Atlanta was ready to scale its work but needed a transformational grant. Its programs were strong, but the case for support was scattered and had never been built for a funder of that size.
We ran a readiness diagnosis, sharpened the organization's case for support with evidence and outcomes, matched them to the right funder, and shaped and submitted a winning proposal.

We're designing a tailored dashboard to consolidate grantees, milestones, and outcomes into a single real-time view, with the reports leadership needs built in.
A fellow nonprofit ran a scholarships program on year-to-year funding, with no durable source of support and limited capacity to build corporate relationships.
We helped them design and land partnerships and corporate sponsorships, opening a durable new revenue stream dedicated to their scholarships program.
