An Agile approach and the Scrum Framework is at the core of our organization’s approach to not letting grants stress our clients or our team out. Using an Agile approach, our Writing Team breaks down the grant writing process into bite-size iterations that allow us to work faster, release draft work for client input throughout the process regularly, and communicate openly and often, creating a client-centered environment. This approach enables us to adapt to the ever-changing grant-seeking landscape and implement changes quickly, while simultaneously focusing on continuous improvement.

We are a highly collaborative team of remote staff and consultants. We are always looking for new team members who are passionate about helping nonprofits create change in their communities, working in a team environment, and using their writing skills to create community impact.
