Strategic Planning

Community Forward will help you create an effective process for identifying your goals and translating them into actionable plans.

Our work with you will be meaningful, efficient, and useful.

Grantwriting

We will work with you to identify the right grants for your business or non-profit, evaluate your readiness to succeed, and write the grants to get you the funding you need.
