Funding to delivery
Connect the funding to the work it pays for
Praxis scopes fundraising and operational support for nonprofits, foundations, public agencies, health organizations and mission-driven businesses. The starting point is your entity, its eligibility, the work it needs to fund and the evidence it can report.
Praxis brings in certified grant writers, software engineers, accountants and attorneys when the work calls for their expertise. Hisham leads the engagement and coordinates the specialists. If a scope needs a specialist, Praxis names the person and the role in the written scope, and that person joins only with your approval.
Hisham has served clients in California, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, New York, Rhode Island, Texas and Washington. Each engagement has a defined scope, named responsibilities and agreed deliverables.
- Build the funding case Prospect research, proposals, program plans and budgets.
- Deliver and report Milestone tracking, partner responsibilities, grant reports and renewal materials.
- Keep finance aligned Restricted-fund tracking, monthly reporting, reimbursement invoices and audit preparation.
- Make the systems work Salesforce and donor databases, websites, forms, dashboards and scoped web applications.

How the practices combine
Your scope combines the workstreams needed for the priority, with agreed capacity and review responsibilities.
For a city or county prevention program
A scope could combine award administration, an intake-to-referral tracker and partner memorandums of understanding (MOUs) to keep funded work on schedule and on budget.
For a family resource center
A scope could pair renewal proposals with monthly close support and a board dashboard.
