Comprehensive Services for Your Complex Grant Needs
Some teams turn to us for proposal strategy and coordination. Others already have funding secured and simply need an experienced project manager to keep all the parts of the grant on track. In both cases, we’re here to handle the logistics, compliance, deadlines and partner coordination — so you can stay focused on the work itself.
What We Offer
Opportunity Forecasting and Strategy
We help identify and prioritize relevant funding opportunities, offering customized calendars and insight into shifting trends, especially at the federal and state levels.
Proposal Development and Coordination
From concept to submission, we support strategy, writing and project management for competitive proposals — particularly those involving multiple collaborators.
Post-Award Project Management
We provide hands-on coordination to keep funded projects on track — from budgets and compliance to partner management, reporting and problem-solving.
Operations + Research Partnerships
We specialize in bringing academic and operational teams together to demonstrate real-world impact. Our campus can be your living laboratory.
Community and Government Engagement
We can help connect your work with regional partners, government agencies and community based organizations to strengthen collaborations and build credibility.
Evaluation and Outcomes Reporting
We provide practical evaluation services — from logic models to outcome tracking — tailored to meet funder requirements and measure success.

Sample Pricing
Our agreements are based on a percentage of a full-time equivalent (FTE) at a flat rate for all services. A 20% FTE would cost approximately $31,500 for a 12-month contract. This level of support is ideal for teams with ongoing needs or for managing a large initiative over time.
Here are a few more examples to help you estimate:
- 10% FTE (15-20 hours/mo): $15,700 per year
- 25% FTE (40-45 hours/mo): $40,000 per year
- 50% FTE (80-85 hours/mo): $78,600 per year
