From the first idea to a delivered outcome.
Five stages, one team. We can step in wherever you are.
Identify Need
Not sure if your project is ready? We assess its viability, identify risks, and make sure your idea is scoped properly before you invest time and effort.
- Community engagement and documentation of priorities
- Feasibility testing
- Needs assessments and issue scoping
- Research and evidence-building to support the case
Strategy
The bigger thinking. Organisation reviews, strategic plans and project development that set a clear, achievable direction your community and your backers can get behind.
- Organisation reviews and strategic plans
- Facilitated strategy workshops with decision-makers
- Project development and positioning
- Stress-testing ideas before you commit
- Program evaluations
Planning
The case for investment. We build practical, persuasive business cases and feasibility work that stand up to scrutiny and make the decision easy for whoever is backing the project.
- Business case development
- Policy design
- Project scoping and sequencing
- Feasibility studies and costings
- Mapping the path to investment
Resourcing
Where it gets funded. We match your project to the right grant programs across local, state, federal and philanthropic sources, then prepare strong applications with clear outcomes, realistic budgets, and the language funders respond to.
- Grant identification and vetting
- Grant and budget proposal writing
- Stakeholder and funder coordination
- Drafting of attachments and support letters
- Briefing, reports, and board communications
- Support and advice for your staff
- Grant opportunity horizon scanning
Delivery
Across the line. Once a project is underway we manage the contract requirements, milestones, reporting and variations, so your team can focus on the work, not the paperwork.
- Grant management, reporting and milestone tracking
- Acquittal and compliance support
- Quarterly engagement reporting
- Advice on evolving program requirements
- Referrals to partner providers (e.g. project management)
