Common Good challenges inequities and amplifies nonprofit leaders as community visionaries.

We build capacity of nonprofit organizations by facilitating access to relationships and resources that can help them build community through a shared story of hope.

Mission-Driven Strategy for Meaningful Impact

Money follows mission. We serve as a strategic thought partner for nonprofit leaders struggling with limited resources—helping them to navigate funding obstacles that impact all facets of an organization. Our holistic and high-touch approach includes grant planning and writing, mindset coaching, financial management guidance, strategic partnerships, and program development—everything you need to create the ideal conditions for community transformation.

At Common Good Grant Consulting, our mission is to support organizations and individuals in their pursuit of a better world for all. We believe that grant research, writing, and management are more than just technical exercises or back-end operations; resource stewardship is a practice of solidarity and a means for advancing dignity and well-being.

  • Grant Research

    We’ll create a customized funding strategy (or roadmap) for the next 12-18 months, highlighting a dozen or more grant opportunities that are ideal fits for your organization’s program and goals.

  • Grant Writing

    We can execute the full funding strategy we prepared for you or write for one-off opportunities that you’ve identified. We can also develop a master grant template for your team to use on their own.

  • Grant Management

    We'll oversee your full grant pipeline from prospecting to reporting so you never miss a deadline or run out of funding. Increase dollars available for programming and peace of mind for organizational leaders!

  • "Liz is wonderful to work with. She helped us take an emerging organization model and put it into "grant speak" for the first time ever. Now over two years later, we still use much of the language she wrote. Liz has a wonderful understanding of relating organizational work to Catholic funders as well."

    —Josh Goralski, Founder and CEO of Unlocking Communities

  • "Liz is truly a wonderful partner, collaborator and consultant. Liz is an extremely thoughtful, communicative, strategic and dedicated partner and was always one step ahead when it came to discussing and pursuing funding opportunities. Working with Liz was a very positive experience for us as she took ownership of key grant development responsibilities from start to finish and never missed a thing."

    —Michael N. Okińczyc-Cruz, Executive Director of the Coalition for Spiritual and Public Leadership
