The challenge
Spero needed sustained grant-writing capacity to fund residential, mental health, and youth-justice programs.
What we did
- Ran a continuous pipeline of 5-8 simultaneous grant applications with the org's grant manager.
- Produced quarterly social content tied to awareness months.
- Structured Family Fun Night corporate sponsorships and a board-engagement menu.
The results
The pipeline spans funders from Union Pacific to MidAmerican Energy; a State Historic Preservation grant was approved in under a week against a typical 60-day cycle, and sponsorships were structured at $1,500 each.
