How We Help Organizations Grow
Every organization is different.
Your fundraising strategy should be too.
The Granados Group develops customized engagements based on an organization's mission, goals, audience, existing relationships, capacity, and opportunities.
Our work can range from strategic advisory and coaching to hands-on partnership development and fundraising execution.

Strategy, Trends & Innovation
Stay relevant in a rapidly changing philanthropic landscape.
Sometimes an organization doesn't need another plan. It needs an outside perspective willing to ask whether the existing plan still makes sense.
We help leaders evaluate fundraising and engagement through the lens of changing corporate priorities, donor behavior, technology, communications, economic conditions, and philanthropic trends.
Engagements may include:
Strategic advisory
Fundraising assessments
Partnership portfolio reviews
Trend analysis
