2 | Fractional & Interim Support
If your organization is adding a development position, or has an open development spot on the team, don’t let that slow your progress on achieving your goals. We’re here to not only lay the foundation for an effective system, but to stay on through training, onboarding, and support until the next person is comfortable taking over-whether that’s three months or three years. We want to set you up for success by maintaining momentum and continuity within your organization.
Our hands-on, customized approach means we work with you to manage day-to-day, as well as strengthening relationships, optimizing fundraising efforts, and improving donor and staff retention. With our support, you can confidently navigate transitions, ensuring that your organization continues to thrive even during periods of change. Let us help you maintain the stability and progress your mission deserves.

​
The KHS Difference:
​"Communities in Schools of Indiana is a small but mighty non-profit, and as such, we have to be incredibly mindful when we invest our funds so the maximum amount possible can stay in school buildings supporting students and families. KHS Consulting provides so much value in terms of fractional staffing. Having these dedicated human resources- and true partners to brainstorm and work with- has been a game-changer in allowing us to pursue more grants, community partnerships, and increase our marketing reach. We look forward to partnering with them for many years to come."
- Hadley Moore, Communities in Schools of Indiana
3 | Grant Strategy & Management
Let us be your partner in navigating the grant landscape, so you can focus on what matters most—making a difference in your community. Our experienced consultants are dedicated to not only guiding you through each stage of the grant process, but also fostering meaningful relationships that connect your mission with the right funders. We believe that successful grant management requires a collaborative approach. That’s why we work closely with your team, conducting weekly or bi-weekly meetings to ensure we prioritize your needs while aligning them with funder specifications, and helping to build and maintain relationships between your team and program officers along the way.
​
Our services include comprehensive grant research and prospecting, tailored proposal development, and meticulous reporting assistance. We are committed to enhancing your organization’s capacity by building strong grant strategies that are sustainable and effective. We’re here to help you tell your story compellingly, ensuring that your vision resonates with potential funders. Together, we can unlock new opportunities for growth and impact.
​
Average Investment:
Starting at $5,000 per month for weekly support (up to 24 proposals) or $3,000 per month for bi-weekly support (up to 12 proposals), with a 1-year commitment.
​

"Kristi and her team have been a joy to work with over the past year. We brought KHS in when we had hit what felt like rock bottom from a development standpoint, and Kristi was able to offer help, ideas, and most of all, hope for how we could recover and even come out stronger on the other side. From help with grant prospecting and writing to creating a new toolbox of materials for our development department to developing a last minute successful year end appeal along the way, we have had an incredibly positive experience with KHS. The moral support alone has been priceless, not to mention all the other more tangible help. So much so that we will be continuing our relationship with KHS instead of hiring a full time development director as we look into next year."
- Ellyn McCall, Hear Indiana
