Build a well-oiled grants department that operates efficiently and positions your organization for consistent funding and long-term growth.
Full-Cycle Grant Management: From Pre-Award to Post-Award Support
I’m sure you’ve stayed up past midnight wrestling with a grant deadline more than once… only to wake up one day and realize you’ve applied to 10 grants and asked funders to cover 150% of your program director’s salary.
You probably know that sinking feeling — questioning yourself: “I wish I had paid closer attention. Do I send a revised budget? Will the funder notice? Should I just hope they don’t?”
This is just one of the results of bootstrapping your way forward, wearing all the hats, without the right tools or systems in place, and chasing every opportunity. That’s why we take grant writing off your plate — so you can lead, not hustle. We help you build the grant-writing systems your organization needs so you can stop worrying about deadlines and start focusing on taking your nonprofit to the next level.
What You’ll Get When You Work With Us
We don’t just write grants — we build the systems that keep your nonprofit on track, so you can stop scrambling and start leading. When we partner with you, we will:
Hi, I’m Kalyani.
I help nonprofit leaders of small- to mid-sized organizations move from hustling for grants at the last minute to running a calm, strategic, and well-funded grant program.
With over 13 years of experience in fund development, I’ve helped organizations transform their grant chaos into a well-functioning grants department — where staff across programs, finance, and leadership work together seamlessly on proposals and reports. I’ve also guided dozens of executive directors in building sustainable systems that reduce stress and earn funder trust.
I know what it’s like to juggle multiple hats while trying to grow an organization — and I’ve made it my mission to give nonprofit leaders the tools, strategies, and support they need to lead with confidence, instead of scrambling to meet deadlines.
Benefits
B. Greene
I've worked with Kalyani and referred her as a grant writer/consultant to several nonprofits.. I respect her skills, competencies, work ethic, leadership style and integrity. When I decided to retire, I chose Kalyani to support one of my most valued clients with grant writing services. She's delivered strong outcomes and served this and other organizations well. I strongly recommend Kalyani as a first-rate fund development professional.
A. Beal
With Kalyani, we've been able to double the amount of grant applications we can submit. Grants that I've been meaning to apply to for several years were completed once Kalyani got involved. Which is wonderful, of course, but my biggest recommendation comes from the ease of working with her.
We were able to seamless pass applications back and forth, working collaboratively to make the applications as strong as possible. She also has the perfect balance of following up, sending reminders and checking in, but never getting demanding or pushy: the perfect mix of working independently and checking in.
B. Wyner
I have worked with Kalyani on several successfully funded projects, as well as formal reporting processes. I appreciate her attention to detail, her masterful writing, and they way she asks questions that get me to think deeper about ways to partner and engage through grant processes.
