Keith LamarGrants Management


Enterprise-level grant management for nonprofits of every size.

We run a lean, AI-powered grants practice at the cutting edge of nonprofit technology. That's how we deliver technical precision at every stage of the funding journey, from the first search through post-award compliance and funder reporting.

Our story

Built for organizations that can't afford a full-time grants office.

Founded in 2017, KLGM was born from a simple need: world-class grant management that is available and affordable to nonprofits everywhere, regardless of operating budget.

Every engagement is led by our founder, Keith Richardson, who brings two decades of grant writing and management to each proposal, now amplified by the AI systems that power our work.

20 years of founder-led grant writing & management experience

How we work

Artificial Intelligence, Human Heart.

Lean by design. Powered by AI. Precise by default.

We operate at the cutting edge of nonprofit technology. AI handles the heavy lifting of research, drafting, tracking and compliance, work that usually takes an entire grants department. That lets a lean team deliver enterprise-level service to organizations of any size. The technology brings the precision. The heart comes from two decades of standing alongside nonprofits and the communities they serve.

  • Technical precision

    AI-assisted research, budget checks and requirement tracking catch the details that cost organizations awards.

  • Enterprise-level capacity

    The systems, speed and rigor of a large grants office, without the overhead of one.

  • Priced for every budget

    Our lean model keeps costs down, so a small community organization gets the same caliber of work as a national one.

  • Expert-led, always

    AI accelerates the work. Keith leads it. Every strategy, narrative and report is reviewed by a senior grants strategist.

Grants we manage

One dedicated partner for the full grants lifecycle.

We research, write, submit and manage awards on behalf of our clients across every major funding source.

  • Federal
  • State
  • Local
  • Foundation
  • Corporate
  1. Research

    We find the funders and opportunities that fit your mission, programs and budget.

  2. Write

    We build the narrative, budget and attachments each funder asks for.

  3. Submit

    We manage deadlines, portals and final checks through submission.

  4. Post-Award Compliance & Funder Reporting

    We track deliverables, deadlines and spending requirements, and prepare the progress and final reports your funders expect.

We don't submit and run. We stay with you for the life of the award.

Every grant is a mosaic: many pieces, one picture.
