MMcD Development Services
We start with listening to understand your mission, culture, priorities, and resource needs.
We build on your strengths and work with you to plan and implement creative strategies to achieve your vision for change.

Finding the Right Funding Opportunity
How do we find funders to support our mission and project plan?
​
Successful grantseeking depends on more than identifying a foundation or corporate giving program in a keyword search.
We help you find the best fit based on alignment of your mission and goals with grantmaker interests and requirements. We then develop tools and practices to help you engage new prospects and optimize your grantseeking efforts.
Strategy and Proposal Development
How do we explain why we need change now? What resources do we really need? Are there challenges or tradeoffs to making change that we haven't considered? How will we measure our success?
Our expert consultants work directly with your team to translate ideas into strategies and proposals for systems change, process improvement, project implementation, capacity building and more. We guide you to differentiate your approach, and manage collaboration to develop and submit competitive proposals while positioning you for portfolio growth.
Program Planning and Evaluation
How do we stretch to take on strategic changes without losing focus on current programs? What resources are we missing?
Are we taking on too much too soon?
​
Strong program planning is the backbone of standout grant proposals and sustainable organizational growth. Our expert consultants provide your team with critical insights, and project management support to ensure objectivity and enrich strategy. We facilitate planning sessions using evidence-based tools to help you clarify your vision, describe the rationale, justify the proposed costs, and detail plans.
