Most firms divide their work into “pre-award” and “post-award” or sell services as one-off transactions. At Leverage, we take a different approach: we build funding ecosystems around four strategic pillars: Ecosystem Design, Initiative Shaping, Capacity for Resilience, and Embedded Partnership.

This means you gain clarity about what you’re pursuing and why, momentum to move bold ideas into funded initiatives, resilience through systems that withstand shifts, and integration with a partner who works alongside your team to deliver lasting impact.
