Our Approach
Who We Serve
GLC is designed to partner with mid- to large-sized organizations or those positioned for substantial growth, particularly those pursuing or preparing to pursue complex federal funding. We support mission-driven, public-purpose entities committed to creating meaningful social and environmental impact. We are a good fit for:
- Established and Scaling Nonprofits and Social Enterprises
- Universities and Research Institutions
- Tribal, state, and local governments administering federal pass-through funds
We are the ideal partner for organizations navigating:
- Significant Growth: Building the durable systems needed to absorb and manage large, complex funding streams.
- Operational Complexity: Designing systems that effectively manage pass-through funding, ensure compliance across varied awards, and strengthen partner relationships.
- Strategic Change: Seeking thoughtful, integrated solutions that reinforce both impact and accountability at scale.
How we Work
Our work is rooted in the rigor required for highly complex federal funding. We apply this operational efficiency, strategic direction, and robust compliance to all our engagements.
While our specialization lies in supporting organizations engaged in complex federal grants, the robust systems we build—which seamlessly integrate strategy, funding, and operations—provide indispensable value and resilience for securing and managing all types of funding (foundation, corporate, and public).
We take a systems-based, collaborative approach grounded in clarity, compliance, and long-term sustainability. Our goal is not simply to solve a single problem, but to partner with you to build robust, integrated systems and deep internal expertise—ensuring your team is resilient and well-positioned for the future.
What Sets Us Apart
High Standards, Custom Systems: We bring the federal-level rigor and accountability refined through years of complex grant management, translating it into practical, usable systems that benefit your organization's entire funding portfolio.
Integrated Solutions: We recognize that funding, strategy, and operations are often fragmented. We deliberately break down those silos to design a cohesive framework where every component works together as an integrated whole, driving efficiency and accountability.
Collaborative Capacity Building: Our engagements are built around knowledge transfer. We work with your team, not for them, providing hands-on support during implementation while simultaneously embedding new capacity so you own and sustain the change long after our project concludes.
A Focus on the Long-Term: We prioritize building durable systems that support your strategic growth and ability to navigate future complexity without dependency on external consultants.
Our Commitment
We are committed to empowering the individuals and organizations we serve through thoughtful partnership, transparent communication, and values-driven support. We meet teams where they are, listen deeply, and design solutions that honor internal strengths and long-term needs. Our work is grounded in integrity, continuous learning, and a belief that sustainable impact emerges when people feel seen, supported, and equipped to lead. We show up consistently — with clarity, empathy, and accountability — to ensure every engagement moves our partners closer to their goals.
