Grant Writing and Fundraising

Secure new grant opportunities and increase revenue
Create a pipeline of new funders
Develop a proactive strategy for growth

Sherpa Consulting has successfully raised over $30 million in funding for nonprofits nationwide, building sustainability and expanding programs and impact. Their work has encompassed over 30 organizations across eight states, spanning various sectors of the nonprofit landscape. Sherpa has extensive experience in mental health/trauma, foster care, disabilities, healthcare, early childhood education, housing and community development, human and social services, youth programs, senior services, addiction support, Christian-based initiatives, and more.

As an experienced reviewer for the federal government, Margaret firmly believes in the existence of a 'formula for good grant writing.' A good grant application thoroughly explains the problem, how your organization embodies the ideal solution, why you do what you do, and how it impacts and uplifts the world.

Sherpa Consulting is dedicated to helping nonprofits secure funds that elevate their mission and profoundly increase their impact.

Grant highlights:

$2 million MacKenzie Scott Yield Open call in 2024, double the requested amount, for programs to support children and adults with Down syndrome.
$1 million+ from the state of Tennessee’s Healthcare funding for the first Enhanced Respiratory Center in Knoxville, Tennessee.
$4 million from HUD to support affordable housing for seniors in San Leandro, California.
$6 million from the Department of Education will support Algebra for all programs that support best practices for teachers across Michigan.

Margaret has been the biggest blessing to Fostering Hope TN. She has quadrupled our revenue with her excellent grant writing skills. She is very organized and efficient. She works hard to understand just who you are as a company and passionately supports the work being done. She is very dedicated, motivated, and well-versed in her craft! We highly recommend her services. You will not regret the decision to work with Sherpa Consulting USA! They are one-of-a-kind!

Margaret Dillon of Sherpa Consulting was extremely insightful in helping a friend of mine with his non-profit. She asked discerning questions to assist us in knowing what our next steps were, and helped us understand what we were NOT ready for. This saved us likely months or a year's worth of time, money, and effort. Her experience is considerable and her track record strong for helping organizations and also executives know what they need to be doing and what they DON'T need to be doing. Margaret does this through being intuitive, friendly, kind and decisive. Truly a good guide for climbing the difficult challenges in your business and life.
