Together, we collect the story of your organization - from the publicly-available to the lock-and-key private. We collectively assemble and personally handcraft an award-worthy narrative that's historically relevant and presently resonant.
We then unite your story with the foundations and funders whose priorities are consistent with your organization's mission, vision, values and goals, pointing the pursuit at only the most relevant opportunities, enhancing the chances of success.
With push-button ease, we mitigate the pain in the ask, by librarying your narrative and distributing it across the "common app" of questions, accelerating the application process. We focus on submissions so you can focus on your mission.
