Capacity is built

Your mission deserves an effective funding strategy

Your organization is already doing the hard work: conserving ecosystems, strengthening communities, and addressing increasingly complex environmental challenges.

But without a clear strategy, it’s easy to pursue calls for proposals that aren’t a good fit, spend weeks on proposals that end up being rejected, or miss out on opportunities because you aren’t prepared in time.

The good news is that this strategy can be strengthened.

And your organization can better focus its efforts, submit more competitive proposals, and make better use of grants to fund its mission.

My Method

Learn About the Strategic Grant System

Securing funding on a consistent basis requires more than just good proposals. It requires a system.

Learn about the Strategic Grant System, the framework I developed to help organizations manage their funding much more effectively and with less stress.

Financial Transparency

Understand your numbers and set clear, realistic grant funding goals to guide your strategy.

Processes and Systems

Plan ahead: define clear roles, organize your information, and have your documents ready before the application period opens.

Grant Strategy

Choose the right opportunities strategically, rather than applying for everything.

Competitive Proposals

Develop competitive proposals through a coordinated process, with clear roles and solid projects behind each application.

Strategic Relationships

Showcase your work and build trusting relationships with funders and key partners before applying for funding.

The result: An organization that is better able to secure grants on a consistent basis and plan its funding with greater certainty.
