Professional Services

Work with our team to implement your vision.

Public sector experts and professional developers, working directly with your organization — capital campaigns and grant funding for nonprofits and technology companies, and grants management software for the agencies that distribute the money.

Standard engagement is $2,500 per month, whichever track you are on.Review our capabilities statement

Why now

AI changed what a small team can own.

Organizations that once assembled a dozen vendors are pulling capabilities back in-house and going deeper in their vertical, because the tooling finally makes that viable. A five-person development shop can now run research, drafting and reporting that used to take a department.

Fundraising is one of the last functions still outsourced by default — handed to an agency, priced per proposal, and rebuilt from scratch every cycle. It does not have to work that way any more.

We built the infrastructure for that shift, then staffed the expert layer on top of it. You get the platform and the people who know how to use it, structured so the capability stays with your team when we are done.

Who we work with

Three kinds of organization

Nonprofits

Capital campaigns and development

Campaign strategy, case for support, prospect research and the grant writing that carries it. We work alongside your development staff rather than replacing them — the goal is a program your team still owns when the engagement ends.

  • Capital campaign design
  • Development strategy
  • Federal and foundation grant writing
  • Funder research and pipeline
Technology companies

Non-dilutive capital

SBIR and STTR across eleven agencies, state innovation programs, and the registration stack that gates all of it. For a venture-backed company, a Phase II award is capital you do not give equity for.

  • SBIR/STTR strategy and writing
  • Agency and topic selection
  • SAM.gov, UEI and registration
  • Phase II and commercialization planning
Public sector

Grants management software

Enterprise-ready systems for agencies that administer funding — intake, review, award and reporting. Built by the team that also runs a live grant database, so the software is informed by the whole ecosystem rather than one side of it.

  • Custom platform development
  • Data architecture and visualization
  • Program management and evaluation
  • Secure, scalable infrastructure

All three start the same way — one monthly engagement at $2,500, scoped on a call. Buy it directly, or talk to us first.

Engagements

What we actually do

Talk through a scope

Capital campaign strategy

Feasibility, campaign architecture, gift tables, and the case for support — then the execution plan that makes it real.

Development services

Pipeline construction, funder research, cultivation strategy and the reporting cadence that keeps renewals coming.

Grant writing

Federal, state and foundation proposals written to the published review criteria and their point weights — not to a template.

Funding strategy

Which instrument actually fits: grant, contract, tax credit, or none of them. Often the most valuable engagement we run.

Software development

Grants management platforms, integrations and data systems for agencies and enterprises, delivered by our own engineers.

Fractional capacity

Ongoing expert time attached to your team, for organizations building the function in-house rather than outsourcing it.

What sets us apart

Network approach

We removed traditional grant funding silos by activating all stakeholders on one collaborative platform. That lets us serve every side at once, and understand the whole funding ecosystem in a way no single entity or government does.

Modern user experience

We design for simplicity, joy and ease of use. That improves access for everyone, especially the applicants routinely excluded by traditional grant listing and distribution methods.

About OpenGrants

Ten years of doing this together.

Our mission is to deploy modern financial infrastructure to support efficient, equitable and transparent grant funding processes. The OpenGrants leadership team has a ten year history of successful collaboration.

Our experience includes winning multi-million dollar grants, developing enterprise SaaS platforms for the government, and raising millions in funding for venture-backed startups. We believe that, if done right, a business can be an effective catalyst for lasting change.

Our work over the last ten years has chiefly focused on the intersection of the citizen experience with public data sets and public agencies — state, local and federal.

Core competencies

  1. Building intuitive, secure, scalable and enterprise-ready grants management software for government and public sector clients.
  2. Activating all stakeholders in the grant funding ecosystem, and facilitating connections and actions between them to improve efficiency.
  3. Gathering, organizing and visualizing grant ecosystem data — static program and user data as well as user behavior data — so it can be leveraged to improve grant funding processes.
  4. Providing modern, secure and scalable financial infrastructure to improve the efficiency, equity and transparency of grant funding distribution.
