Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions organizations most often ask before working with AGM Impact — whether you're a nonprofit building sustainable funding or an enterprise pursuing new revenue and growth. Don't see your question? We're happy to talk it through directly.
What does AGM Impact do?
AGM Impact helps organizations align, grow, and manage the resources behind their goals. That means building revenue strategy — fundraising, grants, business development, and competitive bidding — and the infrastructure to sustain it: planning, pipelines, project management, and reporting systems. Nonprofits and business enterprises alike come to AGM to turn ambition into a funded, well-run roadmap.
Who does AGM Impact work with?
Two kinds of organizations. Nonprofits of all sizes — from grassroots groups to established institutions — receive the full range of development services: revenue strategy, fundraising, grant development, and organizational planning. Business enterprises receive development support for expansion and enterprise projects: opportunity prospecting, government bids and proposals, and strategic growth planning.
What is revenue strategy development?
Revenue strategy development is building a deliberate plan for where your money comes from — instead of chasing opportunities one at a time. AGM Impact analyzes your funding landscape, maps relationships, researches prospects, and builds an annual plan with pipeline forecasting and pitch development. The result: diversified, predictable revenue rather than a cycle of one-off wins.
We're a business, not a nonprofit — how can AGM Impact help us?
Enterprises engage AGM Impact to open revenue channels that take specialized know-how to navigate: government contracts, competitive RFPs, publicly funded projects, and partnership-driven growth. We handle opportunity prospecting, agency registration, proposal and budget development, and compliance review — and we build the internal capacity so your team can compete for these opportunities repeatedly, not just once.
Do you do the work, or just advise?
Both, depending on what you need. AGM Impact can lead the work directly — writing proposals, developing budgets, building funder briefings — or strengthen what your team produces, or design the systems (calendars, pipelines, tracking) that let you run independently. Most engagements blend all three as your capacity grows.
How do we know if our organization is ready?
Readiness comes down to fundamentals: clear goals, a credible plan, basic financial documentation, and the capacity to deliver what you commit to. Few organizations start with all of it — building that infrastructure is part of the work. AGM Impact helps you get the pieces in place funders, agencies, and partners look for before the first application or bid goes out.
How long does it take to see results?
Timelines vary by funder and agency, and real revenue development is cumulative — the organizations that win consistently are the ones working a pipeline, not a single application. That's the AGM approach: build the calendar, cultivate the prospects, and let wins compound. Across our engagements, over 80% of cultivated prospects have become funders within 12 months.
What happens after the money comes in?
Managing funds well is what turns one win into a track record. Awards and contracts carry spending rules, reporting requirements, and deadlines — and clean execution is what makes funders and agencies come back. AGM Impact builds that management and compliance infrastructure; we've done it across more than 50 publicly funded projects, with clean audits behind them.
What results has AGM Impact delivered?
Since 2015, AGM Impact's work has secured over $62M in public and private funding, converted more than 80% of cultivated prospects into funders within 12 months, and built management infrastructure across 50+ publicly funded projects. The through-line is the name: align the strategy, grow the revenue, manage it well.
How much do your services cost?
Every engagement is scoped to the organization. Rather than fixed packages, AGM Impact designs a tailored plan around your goals, capacity, and budget — a focused project, ongoing development support, or something in between. The best starting point is a conversation about what you need.
