Services

Every engagement is scoped to your organization, whether that means a single application, a multi-year award, or the systems underneath all of it.

01 · Core Service

Grant Management & Compliance

Winning the award is worth celebrating, and then the stewardship begins. I help you care for your funding so it can do everything you promised it would.

  • Complete grant administration and compliance oversight
  • Budget tracking and financial reporting
  • Progress report development and submission
  • Performance measurement and outcome tracking
  • Stakeholder communication, timeline management, and deliverable tracking
  • Internal systems and processes your staff can carry forward independently
Best for: Organizations holding (or expecting) federal or state awards without dedicated grant management staff.
Talk About Your Award

This is where HighPoint Advisory does its deepest work.

Most consultants help organizations win grants. Very few have the federal compliance expertise to manage them through every reporting cycle, from budget modifications and progress narratives to audit preparation and closeout. That is what 15 years of managing federal and state awards builds.

If your team has a new award and no one whose full-time job is managing it, this is where I can help the most.

02 · Pre-Award

Grant Writing & Pre-Award Strategy

A strong application does more than meet requirements; it tells your story in a way a funder can believe in. Great proposals grow from great project designs, and when the project needs a little nurturing before the writing begins, that's exactly where we start.

  • Needs and grant readiness assessments
  • Opportunity research and identification matched to your mission
  • Project design and proposal development
  • Budget development aligned with funder requirements and program needs
  • Supporting materials, review, and submission management
Best for: Schools, colleges, workforce programs, and nonprofits pursuing competitive federal, state, or foundation funding.
Discuss Your Opportunity

Timeline guidance

Four to six weeks before deadline is a realistic minimum for a competitive federal or state application. Foundation proposals can move faster. If your deadline is closer than that, ask anyway. The honest answer might be yes, and if it is no, I will tell you that too.

On fees

Like other certified grant professionals, I follow ethical standards that prohibit contingency- or commission-based fees. Work is priced per project or by retainer, agreed before we start.

03 · Capacity

Capacity & Strategy

The roots that make funding sustainable, and every future application stronger.

  • Strategic planning facilitation that gives leadership and staff a shared direction
  • Assessment and program evaluation frameworks that produce decision-grade data
  • Compliance readiness that builds documentation, internal controls, and quality-improvement processes into everyday operations
Best for: Organizations preparing for growth, a first federal award, or a funder that demands demonstrated outcomes.
Start the Conversation

Organizations that invest in capacity win more grants.

Funders want to invest in organizations that can demonstrate what they've accomplished and where they're headed. Strategic planning, evaluation infrastructure, and compliance readiness are not just internal goods; they are competitive advantages in the funding landscape.

Not sure where you fit?

That is perfectly normal. Most clients arrive with a deadline, not a category. Reach out, and we will find the right starting place together.
