Mission & Means seeks to shift the focus from urgency to preparation. While we tailor each engagement, retainers typically will include one or a combination of the services outlined below. 

• Phase I: Assess Grant Readiness. We use a self-assessment tool to help you identify funder-facing gaps that limit fundraising success. Then schedule a one-on-one session with you to walk through the results and suggest next steps.

• Phase II: Build Capacity. We will work with you to strengthen board engagement, contributed revenue streams, and grant management systems to help you build the conditions for sustainable growth and long-term impact.

• Phase III: Fund With Confidence. We use targeted research strategies to develop a funder prospect list and co-creating clear, compelling program summaries and tailored grant proposals.

• Phase IV: Sustain Momentum. We provide strategic fundraising advisory services and ongoing coaching support that helps you plan for long-term sustainability.
