Diverse Support for Diverse Needs 

We offer complete grantmaking services, ranging from selecting grantees to developing grantmaking systems and monitoring grantee progress. Working with families, individuals, foundations, and donor collaboratives, we can start at the beginning to help a donor clarify the purpose of their giving, step in as a partner midway to create a grantee selection process, or join near the end to manage and evaluate closed grants and communicate their final impact.  

Some of the ways we work with clients include: 

  • Grantee selection and grants processing. From developing requests for proposals, to vetting, to reviewing reporting, we can work with your team through all aspects of the grant making cycle to meet your giving priorities.  
  • Design, implementation, and evaluation of grantmaking systems and structures. We can help you choose a right-sized system to achieve your grant making goals, work with you to implement that system, and, if needed, stick with you to monitor and evaluate your objectives or grantees.  
  • Grantmaking strategies. We can help you define your giving goals, theory of change, and develop and implement a plan to get there. 
  • Staffing support. We can act as your staff, conducting grantee due diligence, managing and monitoring grants, supporting grantees to achieve success, and communicating impact back to you or an advisory board.
