Why We Started GMG

We saw the same broken system from both sides of the table

Brandon spent five years reviewing proposals as a Fortune 500 gatekeeper. Eric spent 17 years leading development teams and watching consultants make empty promises. We got tired of watching good organizations waste money on bad advice.

13,000
Proposals

Brandon reviewed over 13,000 grant proposals as a corporate gatekeeper and watched brilliant organizations get rejected because they didn't know how to tell their story.

17
Years

Eric spent 17 years watching consultants sell strategic plans that sat on shelves and make campaign promises without identifying a single realistic prospect.

Between them, they've touched nearly $200 million in philanthropic capital and learned exactly what works and what doesn't from every angle.

⚠️

The Problem We Saw

The nonprofit funding world is full of people who tell you what you want to hear. They promise six-figure results without identifying prospects. They charge for strategic plans that collect dust. They sell campaigns organizations aren't ready to run.

Organizations serving our communities kept paying for promises instead of getting practical plans that actually work. Nobody was telling the truth about what it really takes to raise money.

What We Built Instead

We bring insider knowledge from both the grantmaking and fundraising sides. We use data science and industry benchmarks to build plans backwards from your goals. We identify actual funding sources before we promise results.

We tell you the uncomfortable truth about what it will actually take. And then we show up every single day to help you do the work. No empty promises. Just real methodology and relentless follow-through.

Why GMG Exists

The nonprofit sector deserves better than empty promises. Organizations serving our communities deserve partners who bring real methodology, lived experience, and relentless follow-through. We exist because telling the truth about fundraising is the only way to help organizations actually succeed. That's what we do.
