Who do you typically work with?

We work with small to mid-sized nonprofits, community-based organizations, foundations, and networks that are focused on social, racial, and environmental justice. Many of our partners work in community health, education, climate and sustainability, or community development.

What services do you offer?

Our core services include:

• Strategic planning and facilitation

• Program and initiative design

• Research, landscape scans, and evaluation support

• Fundraising and grants support (prospect research, grant writing, reporting)

• Donor engagement and stewardship strategy

• Operations, systems, and process improvements

We tailor each engagement to your context, capacity, and goals.

How do you support fundraising and grants?

We provide practical, hands-on support across the grants and fundraising cycle, including:

• Identifying and researching potential funders

• Aligning your programs with funder priorities

• Drafting and editing letters of inquiry, grant proposals, and reports

• Creating simple tools (calendars, templates, trackers) to make development work more manageable for your team.
  

How do you help with donor engagement and stewardship?

We help you clarify your story, define key messages, and align giving opportunities with the real impact of your work. This can include:

• Donor communications (one-pagers, decks, updates)

• Support for campaigns or special initiatives

• Stewardship plans so donors feel informed, appreciated, and connected to the communities they’re investing in.

What does a typical project timeline look like?

It depends on the scope.

• Short-term projects (like a single grant, landscape scan, or strategy session) may run 4–8 weeks.

• Larger strategic planning or program design engagements often run 4–9 months.

We’ll work with you up front to define a clear timeline, milestones, and check-ins.

How do you structure your fees?

We typically work on a project-based or retainer basis, with a clear scope, deliverables, and payment schedule agreed upon in advance. For some small organizations or early-stage projects, we may offer a phased or “right-sized” option that fits your budget and capacity. We do not work on a commission basis for grants.

Do you work remotely or in person?

Both. We partner with organizations across the U.S. using virtual tools for facilitation, collaboration, and communication. When budget and logistics allow, we also offer in-person sessions for retreats, workshops, and key milestones.

How do we know if Adenium is a good fit for us?

You’re likely a good fit if you:

• Are clear on your mission but could use support with strategy, structure, or fundraising

• Want a thought partner who will listen deeply, ask hard but constructive questions, and co-create solutions

• Value equity, community voice, and long-term impact over quick, performative wins

We’re happy to schedule a short introductory call to explore fit.
