Who We Are
With established experience in education, workforce development, and funding strategy, Mountain Park Group understands that effective grantmaking and resource management are essential to driving innovation and lasting community impact. Funding is not only about sustaining programs, it’s about expanding opportunity, building systems, and transforming lives.
Our mission is to partner with foundations, corporations, higher education institutions, nonprofits, and state agencies to design strategies, secure funding, and implement initiatives that deliver measurable results.
At Mountain Park Group, we combine strategic grant writing, fund management, and program consulting to help our partners strengthen their impact. We guide the full grant lifecycle, from strategy and design to administration and evaluation, ensuring every investment aligns with mission, compliance standards, and long-term success.
Results in Action
Foundation Management: When a regional family foundation set out to strengthen its grantmaking program, it faced a familiar challenge: balancing meaningful community relationships with the operational complexity of managing dozens of grants each year. The foundation wanted to ensure that its resources were reaching the right organizations, achieving measurable outcomes, and aligning with its long-term mission to expand access to education and workforce opportunities.
Mountain Park Group partnered with the foundation to design a streamlined, transparent, and trust-based grant management framework. We began by clarifying funding priorities and developing a customized theory of change to guide decision-making. From there, we built application materials, scoring rubrics, and review processes that emphasized equity, accessibility, and accountability.
Within the first year of implementation, the foundation successfully awarded over $4 million in grants to local nonprofits and educational institutions. Grantee feedback highlighted a more inclusive and supportive application experience, while internal reporting showed stronger alignment between funded projects and the foundation’s mission.
Beyond the numbers, the partnership transformed how the foundation approached philanthropy, moving from transactional funding to strategic collaboration. Today, the foundation continues to use the systems and tools developed through this partnership to make data-informed decisions, strengthen relationships with grantees, and expand its community impact year after year.
Higher Education Impact: We secured a $7 million grant for a community college, expanding workforce training programs in advanced manufacturing and renewable energy.
Healthcare Innovation: We helped a healthcare provider obtain $2.5 million in federal funding to enhance mental health services and increase access for underserved communities.
Small Business Growth: Our team assisted a tech startup in securing a $500,000 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant, enabling product development and scaling operations.
Nonprofit Expansion: We supported a nonprofit in winning a $1.2 million grant to expand youth workforce development programs, providing training and job placement for at-risk youth.
Grant Management: One of our most impactful success stories in grant management involved a nonprofit healthcare organization struggling with compliance and reporting requirements for a multi-million-dollar federal grant. Facing the risk of losing critical funding, they turned to Mountain Park Group for support. Our team streamlined their grant management process, implementing efficient tracking systems, ensuring compliance with federal regulations, and optimizing reporting procedures.
As a result, the organization not only maintained its funding but also secured an additional $3 million in renewal grants. With our expertise, they transformed their grant management approach, allowing them to expand services, increase community outreach, and focus on their mission without the administrative burden.
