Grant Consulting

Have you had a grant consultant support your organization before? Grant consulting separates nonprofit organizations that win grants from those that don't.

Funders will ask about your nonprofit's capacity.

They want to know if you have a grant-seeking strategy, strategic plan, logic model, evaluation plan, and theory of change.

And countless other things.

Confirming these details will communicate to your potential funder that you have the skills, expertise, and capacity to do the job. Only an experienced and professional grant consultant can position your organization in this way and get high scores in the capacity section of an application.

Have you had past grant consultants advise on strategy but none of it stuck? Our experienced team in Atlanta, Georgia, and across the country provides practical and actionable feedback you can deploy today and execute within your current capacity.
