DIRECT SERVICES
Time for a little less talk, and a lot more action.
We’ll just do it.
Are you so busy doing the job that you don’t have time to fundraise for it?
Need another set of hands to write grant proposals?
Almost ready to hire a Development Director, but not quite?
When you need hands-on assistance from experienced people for whatever reason, we stick by you, roll up our sleeves, and do the work, whether it’s researching statistics about the community you are serving, writing grant proposals, creating budgets, or customizing a Fund Development System for your organization.
Our goal is to build your organization’s ability to successfully fundraise without our help (teaching you to fish and all), but for those non-profits with staff who are already stretched to capacity, we’ll come in as your interim Development Department.
How we can help

Our team is adept at writing and editing grant applications, proposals, reports, letters of inquiry, and concept papers. We have expertise with creating general narrative templates, and we can help you tailor your proposals for specific funding sources or requirements.
