Grant Writing
​and Reporting

The team at Susan Kleinman Wallis Consulting is noted for our ability to analyze and distill complex subjects into clear, succinct writings that engage and inspire funders and stakeholders. We support our clients’ diverse needs through compelling and consistent messaging in grant proposals, reports, briefs, collateral, and other materials. ​

Technical Assistance
​and Coaching

Nonprofit executive directors, leadership teams, and boards of directors reach out to us for guidance on securing fundraising success. We assist nonprofits during transition and growth periods, on-boarding and coaching development staff to ensure internal systems and processes are in place for effective fundraising operations.

Funder Strategy
​and Relationships

Our experience, gained from sitting on both sides of the "funder–nonprofit table," ensures the application of best practices in building funding partnerships based on mutual understanding and respect. We guide our clients through in-depth strategies to gain the support and resources required to advance their vision and goals.

Prospect Research
​and DEFINING Goals

We identify foundation, corporate, and government prospects that are a strong match for clients' missions and programs. We work with our clients in setting appropriate annual and multi-year institutional fundraising goals, and we create solid plans for outreach, engagement, and proposals to ensure a competitive edge in grants and contracts.
