Funding continuity
Maintain a pipeline alongside the awards you already hold.
WHO WE SERVE
Nonprofits & foundations
Resources that become lasting capacity.
Connect the resources your mission needs with the records and systems behind delivery. Add defined capacity across development, finance, and operations.
WHAT YOU ARE DEALING WITH
Does this sound
familiar?
- 01
Renewals are due while your team is still closing the last report.
- 02
Reimbursement delays make the cash picture difficult to explain.
- 03
Your board wants a finance packet that reconciles to the program plan.
- 04
Staff need more development or systems capacity than the current budget can hire.
WHAT WE DO FOR YOU
Capacity shaped
around your context.
Finance and records
Give restricted funding a traceable operating rhythm.
Program and partnership work
Turn commitments into owned responsibilities.
Systems your team can run
Reduce repeated entry and reporting friction.
HOW ENGAGEMENTS BEGIN
A priority.
A defined route.
Start with the deadline, the records, and the people who approve the work. You receive a first-month scope with one priority deliverable, required inputs, and a plan for the next 90 days.

Capacity and pricing
HOW CAPACITY CAN FIT
Choose the model
your team needs.
Direct principal involvement, breadth across connected responsibilities, and capacity agreed month by month.
| Your consideration | Praxis | Full-time hire | Large firm | Independent specialist |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Attention | Principal-led delivery and review | Dedicated employee within your team | Team and senior access vary by scope | Direct access to the specialist |
| Breadth | Funding, finance, operations, and systems | Depends on the role and individual | Multiple disciplines may be available | Often focused on one discipline |
| Continuity | Agreed monthly capacity and handover | Ongoing employment and internal ownership | Engagement or account-team arrangement | Project or retainer agreement |
| Cost model | Quoted scope and fractional capacity | Salary, benefits, and management | Project or retainer fee | Hourly, project, or retainer fee |
These are contracting models, not quality rankings. The right choice depends on your capacity, complexity, and budget.
Questions we are usually asked
BEFORE WE BEGIN
Questions you
may be weighing.
Do you work with organizations our size?
We scope work around the number of programs and awards, record condition, deadlines, and decision capacity. The practice serves organizations at different stages; annual budget alone does not determine readiness or fit.
Do you charge a percentage of the grant?
No. You receive a scope and fee tied to the work and agreed capacity. We do not guarantee funding, charge commission, or take a percentage of an award.
Can you support our finance director rather than replace them?
Yes. A retainer can carry a grant-reporting queue, allocation schedules, reconciliations, or board materials under your finance lead’s review. Responsibilities and approval boundaries are explicit.
Can you support 501(c)(3) advocacy?
We can research, draft, organize, and facilitate within your authorized scope. Your counsel or compliance lead reviews lobbying limits, disclosures, and tax-related questions before regulated activity begins.
Can an international nonprofit work with Praxis?
Yes, for a remote scope with agreed hours and local requirements. U.S. federal finance guidance is not treated as a worldwide standard. Country-specific tax, legal, and procurement advice stays with qualified local advisers.
Where should we start?
Use the readiness assessment or build a sample first-month scope. Then share your priority and timing. We can propose a diagnostic, one deliverable, and the next 90 days without asking you to commit to every service.
