    ZenRise Consulting helps mission-driven organizations and growing businesses turn strong ideas into funded, well-run projects. We work with nonprofits, local governments, schools, startups, and organizations rooted in impact, sustainability, or growth.

    Backed by federal grant experience with USDA and ARPA-funded programs, nonprofit sector experience, hands-on operations leadership, and an MS in Sustainable Technology.

    What we do:

    • Grant writing: federal, state, and foundation applications, budgets, and narratives built to get funded.
    • Certifications and compliance: helping you work through the paperwork and bureaucratic barriers to get licensed, certified, or approved.
    • Project building: turning an idea into a concrete plan with clear steps, timelines, and deliverables.
    • General business consulting: hands-on guidance for organizations navigating growth, funding, or operational change.
    • AI integration: practical ways to put AI tools to work in your business, without the hype.
    • SOP development: documented procedures your team can actually follow.
    • Process improvement: tightening the systems that slow you down.
