I want to take a moment to share my appreciation for Kalyani Sapkal, someone I hold in high regard. During our time working together, I was consistently impressed by her professionalism, insight, and ability to bring out the best in those around her. Kalyani approaches every project with both strategic thinking and a genuine collaborative spirit — qualities that elevate the work and the people involved!

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?”

It happens to the best of us. 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 growing the impact of your nonprofit.

Working with Kalyani Consulting has been a transformative experience for our organization. As a nonprofit dedicated to enriching the lives of children through therapeutic equestrian programs, we rely heavily on grant funding to sustain and grow our mission. They brought not only deep expertise in grant writing but also a genuine understanding of our values and goals. Thanks to their support, we’ve secured critical funding that has allowed us to expand our reach and enhance our programming. We are deeply grateful for their professionalism, insight, and unwavering commitment to helping nonprofits thrive.

What You’ll Get When You Work With Us

Get grants and reports written, deadlines met, and systems that finally work. When we partner with you, we will:

Take Grant Writing and Reporting Off Your Plate

We draft, edit, and submit your proposals and reports so you can focus on strategy, programs, and leading your team — not juggling deadlines.

Reorganize Your Grants Tracking System

We review your existing spreadsheets (or scattered notes) and restructure them into a clean, organized tracking system so you always know what’s due, what’s in progress, and what’s coming next.

Recommend and Implement a Simple Grant Management Tool

We’ll set you up with a tool that fits your capacity and budget — no overcomplicated platforms you won’t use.

Establish a Weekly Grant Rhythm

We guide you into a consistent weekly routine for assessing opportunities, preparing materials in advance, and avoiding the last-minute scramble.

Provide Ongoing Grant Research

We keep an eye on new opportunities that align with your mission and priorities, and bring them to your attention in a timely, organized way — so you’re always ahead of the curve.

Strengthen Team Communication

We help you set up clear communication channels between leadership, program staff, finance, and development so everyone knows their role — reducing bottlenecks, missed deadlines, and last-minute surprises.

Meet Kalyani: 13+ Years Getting Nonprofits Funded

I support nonprofit leaders of small- to mid-sized organizations to 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 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.

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 the way she asks questions that get me to think deeper about ways to partner and engage through grant processes.

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.
