Services

Grants and other funding mechanisms are pivotal to powering the great work nonprofits do. At Adaptive, we work with your teams to mobilize resources to operationalize your strategic plan. Services are tailored to respond to the priorities of different institutional donors (federal, state, and foundations) and adapted to different funding mechanisms (primarily grants and cooperative agreements). From securing funds to standing up the systems needed to manage awards, at Adaptive we ensure you have key tools to implement responsive, high-quality programs.
