Each foundation and corporate giving program has well defined funding interests and approaches to managing relationships. Here is a list of foundations with whom we have successfully partnered.
These are typically the result of matching your organization's services to the interests of local and national foundations and corporations, carefully planning your efforts to measure the impact of your programming, developing long-term relationships with funders, and creating responsible plans for allocating and documenting the use of grant dollars.

- Customizing proposals to fit foundation guidelines
- Submitting grant renewals
- Building partnerships to co-submit a proposal

We understand the importance of building a self-sustaining grant program structure. We will work with you closely and collaboratively to create the tools your organization needs to succeed in raising more money.
