Scope of Services

Seven integrated service areas.

From startup to sustainability — RAPP Consulting provides strategic, culturally responsive support at every stage of organizational development. All services are team-based and available on retainer or project-based engagements.

01

Inclusive Community Engagement

We design and facilitate safe, participatory, and equitable engagement processes grounded in asset-based and culturally responsive practice — elevating community-defined knowledge and translating collective vision into action.

02

Business Infrastructure & Audits

We assess and strengthen organizational systems for accountability, compliance, and long-term sustainability — including internal controls, grant readiness audits, and workflow optimization.

03

Nonprofit Startup & Fiscal Sponsorship

Comprehensive technical assistance for nonprofit formation and early-stage growth — board development, governance, bylaws, policies, and foundational fundraising strategy.

04

Digital Infrastructure & Social Media

We build and maintain a digital presence that reflects your mission and values — website development, brand alignment, social media strategy, and communications in complex political environments.

05

Grant Writing, Management & Donor Development

End-to-end funding support — from strategy and prospect research to grant writing, award management, stewardship planning, and long-term revenue alignment.

06

Strategic Planning

Clear, actionable strategies aligned with your mission, values, and community voice — board alignment, organizational mapping, implementation roadmaps, and program evaluation.

07

Event Planning & Coordination

Community-centered events, fundraiser galas, and partner gatherings — designed to strengthen relationships, elevate community voice, and advance your strategic outcomes.

Grant Strategy

More than writing, grants are strategy.

  1. Build your funding strategy before the application.
  2. Target opportunities with intention and alignment.
  3. Align narrative, budget, and evidence into one case.
  4. Navigate RFGA processes and funder relationships with expertise.
  5. Develop donor pipelines alongside grant funding streams.
  6. Learn, refine, and resubmit — with a stewardship plan.
