What We Do
Tailored fundraising services for nonprofits of every size
Scalable services supporting stability, clarity, and long-term success
Our flexible, responsive approach means you can get exactly the support you need — no more, no less. We evolve alongside you, from getting grants ready to strategizing about the shifting fundraising landscape, to supporting big capital campaigns. Level up the stories you tell, get clarity on fundraising trends, and instantly expand your network by leveraging our decades of experience and data.
A to Be Partners has a long track record of not just winning grants, but also fortifying the confidence and competence your organization already has with creative solutions that make sense for each client’s unique circumstances. Our team of experts has been doing this for decades. We’ve helped nonprofits manage growth sustainably when funds are flowing, and think strategically about how to adapt to leaner times.
Through leadership transitions and capital campaigns, new program launches and major pivots, pandemics and political turmoil, we’ve offered calm, steady, trustworthy support that maximizes the possibilities of foundation grant support while dovetailing neatly with programming and other funding streams. In other words, we’ve seen it all — and now you can put that knowledge to work for your organization. .
Initial Assessment
Every A to Be engagement starts with an assessment designed to give you a clear-eyed view of where your organization is today. We evaluate capacity, identify opportunities, research prospective funders, and craft case statements that help you tell the right story to the right people at the right time. For some clients, that’s all they need to start writing proposals and managing grants more efficiently and effectively. Others opt to have A to Be Partners handle the entire process on an ongoing basis, freeing them up to focus on big-picture projects and strategic goals.
Full-Service Grants Management
Need a true ongoing partner in managing the grants process? We’re on it. This is A to Be Partners’ signature service, and we’re proud of our flexible, responsive approach to grantwriting and management. We handle all aspects of your grants program, from prospect research to writing proposals, tracking submissions, planning future requests, and writing reports. Deep expertise (and professional research tools) means we’re able to make connections with funders across the country, including emerging opportunities.
Advising
Whether you’re refining your grants strategy, strengthening fundraising systems, or exploring new approaches like donor communications or sponsorships, we offer advising and consulting to support your next step.
For organizations that don’t need full grants management but want a strategic partner that can help you navigate a complicated, crowded, and often confusing landscape, we’re here for you!
Grants+
Grants don’t operate in isolation—they rely on strong systems, clear strategy, and aligned fundraising efforts. For existing clients, our Grants+ services extend beyond foundation grants to strengthen development infrastructure, from internal databases and workflows to donor engagement and diversified revenue strategies. We focus on building the systems that make fundraising more effective and sustainable for your unique organizational positioning.
