As a tumbleweed rolls by and a hollow wind blows, you pause your strategy work to reflect on the desert-like conditions that define the environment of your development program.

Within your nonprofit, you are the sole development employee among other dedicated professionals accomplishing important work. 

You glance around and see your colleagues as they work in their own offices and areas—you can almost see giant red question marks floating over their heads, as in a cartoon. They generally do not understand what you do, and despite your efforts, might not grasp why they should.

Even if they do realize the importance, nonprofit work is intense and time-consuming, and they focus on their own job’s demands.

This desolate, barren desert landscape can make you feel professionally lonely, and often, weary.

As part of your development strategies, you have learned carefully and thoroughly about your organization’s mission and work so that you can tell your compelling story in the critical effort to raise awareness and funds to bolster everyone’s outcomes.

But as you work tirelessly to support your nonprofit, who supports you? Where is the reciprocity, the team feeling, the yin to your yang? 

Magical answer: Grants consultants ARE YOUR DEVELOPMENT TEAM/GRANT TEAM (yes, we are happy to shout that huge fact)—always there for you, knowledgeable about your nonprofit, and invested in your development successes.

Grants consultants apply their creative energy and experience as they strategize with you, write with you, walk with you, and believe with you. And more. They share the weight that you carry. Inevitably, you can and will clearly see the positive results that grow from your partnership.

Never again will you be on your own.
