Andra Ingalls
I’m a nonprofit consultant with more than 25 years of experience across the nonprofit, municipal, and faith-based sectors. With a heart for purpose-driven missions, I help organizations build internal capacity and strengthen their funding strategies through strategic planning, training, and grant writing services.
I understand the unique challenges small and midsize Christian ministries face. Clients value my collaborative approach and practical guidance.
Here’s what one leader shared about working together:
"I really appreciated working with Andra. Pursing grants at a non-profit is always stressful, and her competent calmness was a welcome respite. Andra was very organized and efficient, and overhauled our grant-tracking system to be much more effective. Not to mention researching and writing a fantastic grant proposal." ~Amy in CT
Grant Work
Trust me when I say there is so much more to grant writing than filling out a bunch of applications! It can take countless hours to research grant opportunities to find the right fit. Then it takes countless more hours to gather the information needed to craft a compelling proposal. I’d love to lighten your load!
Readiness
Research
From community groups to public and private foundations, there are thousands of grant funders out there! I have the research tools to identify the right grants and determine which ones best align with your mission.
Writing
You’ve prepared your readiness toolkit and invested in researching grants that align with your mission. Now, it’s time to craft tailored proposals that match funders' priorities and boost your chances of success.
Being grant-ready means refining your mission, preparing your financials, and gathering other key information requested by funders. I can help you build a Grant Ready Template & Toolkit, ensuring you're always ready to take action on your next grant application.
