What We Do
Tailored fundraising services for nonprofits of every size
We offer a range of scalable services so you can choose exactly what your organization needs and nothing you don’t.
Our flexible, responsive approach means we can evolve alongside you, from launching a brand-new grants program to supporting big capital campaigns. Level up the stories you tell, understand fundraising trends better, and instantly expand your network by leveraging our experience.
A to Be Partners has a long track record of fortifying organizational confidence and competence with creative solutions that make sense for each client’s unique circumstances. Our team of strategic experts has decades of experience in the nonprofit sector — and we’re ready to put those years to work for you.
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
Not sure how to get your board more engaged in development? Staff and volunteers asking for more training about how to use your databases? Thinking it might be time to start an e-newsletter or get more sponsors on board? Time for a strategic planning session, and frustrated about how fundraising issues always seem to get sidelined? We’re ready to be your sounding boards, your thought partners, and your biggest supporters as you work towards your ultimate vision.
Grants+
Grants intersect with all sorts of other parts of your organization, from internal databases to individual giving. Grants+ is what we refer to as fund development and the systems that support your comprehensive fundraising efforts. Our team of experienced consultants can help evaluate your internal systems, optimize workflow, create stronger relationships with donors, and design multi-channel development plans to expand your fundraising strategy beyond grants — all tailored to what success means for your organization.

“A to Be Partners assisted in stabilizing our grant strategy during a time of major organizational transition. They created materials to both better tell our story and better prepare us to bring a grant writer on staff. Once that person was hired, A to Be helped support a warm handoff that set our team up for success. We are extremely grateful to A to Be Partners for this amazing partnership.”
