We are Karen Wainscott and Kandice Kramer, partners in Community Centric Development and seasoned grant writers with over 40 years of combined experience across all three sectors. We’ve won millions of dollars in federal, state, private and corporate foundation grants.

Our mission is simple yet profound: to support the good people out there doing good work by helping them secure the funding they need to be successful.

Our unique “teach a man to fish” approach to funding in rural Colorado communities sets us apart. Grant funding often remains just out of reach for chronically disinvested communities. This is tragic at a time when federal grant funding is at an all time high, leaving money on the table.

While there are many resources for individual nonprofit organizations and small businesses, cross-community funding is a must to access federal dollars, requiring the higher level of multi-stakeholder planning and implementation services we offer.
