A strategic partner for grant readiness and funding.
A clear path forward for the work that matters
LEAP Consulting exists to help rural nonprofits, community organizations, and small businesses move forward with clarity and confidence.
You are doing important work, often with limited time, people, and resources. Funding decisions carry weight, and it can be hard to know which opportunities are worth pursuing. LEAP helps bring clarity to that process and provides steady support as you move forward.
What Makes LEAP Different?
Rooted in Rural Understanding
LEAP is built on lived experience in small towns and rural communities. We understand how local organizations operate, the realities of limited capacity, and the importance of trust and relationships. This work is not theoretical. It is personal.
Strategy Before Writing
Strong funding begins long before an application is submitted. LEAP focuses first on readiness, planning, and alignment so your funding efforts are grounded in clarity and structure, not guesswork or pressure.
Partnership Over Transactions
This work is done alongside you, not handed off and rushed through. LEAP walks with organizations step by step, offering honest guidance, ethical practices, and steady support throughout the process.

Seeking clear strategy and occasional funding guidance
“It's been a pleasure working with Kelli. She has organized my business through planning, strategy, and funding. She has produced several grant proposals to assist in seeking funding for products and programming, always keeping us aware of new opportunities. Her services have been invaluable.”
