Funding with Integrity

Development Strategy and Grant Writing

Fundraising should never pull you off mission. We help teams articulate their case for support in a way that reflects who they are and invites investment in both impact and purpose.

From early-stage development strategy to institutional grant writing, we work alongside nonprofits, grassroots groups, and public sector teams to build the scaffolding for sustainable, values-aligned funding. We believe your revenue model should reflect your purpose, and your fundraising should build trust, not extract attention.

What We Offer

  • Grant Writing and Proposal Development

    Crafting clear, compelling proposals for foundations, public agencies, and aligned funders, through prospect research, narrative development, and budget alignment.

  • Development Strategy and Donor Engagement

    Strengthening fundraising systems, through segmentation, communications planning, and alignment with your broader narrative framework.

  • Embedded Development Support

    Providing embedded grantwriting or development advising for small teams, often as part of broader strategy or coalition work.

How We Work

We work shoulder to shoulder with your team..

We begin by understanding your goals, organizational story, and capacity. Together we co-create a development approach, whether a single proposal, seasonal campaign plan, or comprehensive grant calendar. We build internal clarity, external trust, and adaptable documentation, not one-off outputs.

We aim for long-term capacity, not short-term fixes. Our work builds internal clarity, external trust, and documentation you can adapt across funding contexts.
