Carlton Consulting Alliance
We write; you grow.
Nearly twenty years of experience turning complex ideas, programs and priorities into clear, persuasive proposals and communications.
What we do
Funding strategy that starts before the writing.
With nearly twenty years of government experience including writing, reviewing, evaluating, and approving funding proposals, we know what makes an application clear, credible, and competitive.
The Consult
Flexible fees provide access to specialized expertise. Ideal for organizations that need expert guidance but aren't yet ready to define a larger project.
The Audit
An experienced, funder-focused review of your in-progress proposal. We score it like a grant reviewer would, identify gaps, and help you strengthen it before submission.
The Roadmap
Not sure where your next funding opportunity is coming from? We identify strategic funding opportunities aligned with your organization's goals and give you a clear path forward.
The Full Package
Complete, end-to-end development of complex proposals including narrative writing, strategic alignment, and budget optimization for a submission-ready application.
The Capacity Builder
An ongoing funding function without hiring a full-time grants director. We act as your dedicated expert, hunting for and securing continuous funding opportunities month over month.
"Nearly twenty years inside government means we know exactly what decision-makers look for."
Having spent nearly twenty years working within government, we understand the language, the process, and the priorities that shape funding decisions. That knowledge is now entirely in your corner.
Every great proposal starts with a conversation.
Tell us about your project, your goals, and your timeline. We'll listen carefully and let you know how we can help — no obligation, no pressure.
