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.
Business Infrastructure & Audits
Organizational systems that actually work. We review your infrastructure for accountability, compliance, and long-term sustainability, from internal controls to grant readiness to workflow design.
Nonprofit Startup & Fiscal Sponsorship
Starting a nonprofit is complex. We provide hands-on support for formation and early-stage growth: board development, governance structure, bylaws, policies, and your first fundraising strategy.
Digital Infrastructure & Social Media
A digital presence that actually reflects who you are. We handle website development, brand alignment, social media strategy, and communications that hold up in complex political environments.
Grant Writing, Management & Donor Development
Full-cycle funding support. We handle strategy, prospect research, grant writing, award management, and donor development so your team can stay focused on the work.
Strategic Planning
Strategy your whole team can actually use. We work with you on board alignment, organizational mapping, implementation roadmaps, and program evaluation.
Event Planning & Coordination
Community convenings, fundraiser galas, and partner gatherings planned from start to finish. Every event is designed to strengthen relationships and move your strategy forward.
Grant Strategy
More than writing, grants are strategy.
- Know what you are applying for before you start writing.
- Apply to funders who are genuinely aligned with your mission.
- Your narrative, budget, and evidence should tell one story.
- RFGA processes are complex. We know how to navigate them.
- Grants and donors work better together than apart.
- Every submission teaches you something. We help you use it.
