Engagement models
Four ways to work with us
Pick the shape that fits your situation. Most agencies start with a project and move to a retainer once they see how we work.
Option 01
Project
Fixed scope. Fixed fee. Clear finish line.
Best for a defined deliverable with a deadline: a grant application, a policy manual rebuild, an audit readiness review, a corrective action plan. You know what you need; we scope it, price it, and deliver it.
Typical: 4–12 weeks · Single defined deliverable
Option 02
Foundation
Ongoing expert support without a full-time hire.
A monthly retainer giving you access to both founders across grants, policy, and training. Best for emerging or lean teams that need senior-level thinking on call but don't have consistent full-time volume.
Typical: 6–12 months · Monthly retainer
Option 03
Growth
Deeper engagement for organizations scaling up.
More hours, more depth, and proactive rather than reactive support. Includes active grant pipeline management, policy compliance monitoring, and a recurring staff training schedule. For agencies adding programs, opening sites, or absorbing new contracts.
Typical: 12 months · Expanded monthly retainer
Option 04
Enterprise
Embedded partnership across departments.
Dedicated consultant time across all service areas — grant portfolio management, policy architecture, compliance infrastructure, and agency-wide staff development. For multi-program organizations with complex funding and regulatory demands.
Typical: 12+ months · Fully custom
Every engagement is scoped and quoted individually
