Who We Are
Access Consultants is a partnership specializing in grant writing, strategic plan development, program design, digital innovation, and organizational capacity building.
We support agencies serving people with disabilities, brain injuries, mental health needs, victims of violence, seniors, newcomers, youth, and rural or remote communities.
Our focus is simple:
We help you design strong initiatives, create clear strategic direction, and secure the funding needed to bring them to life — without taking resources away from the services you already provide.
We believe good ideas shouldn’t wait for funding.
That’s why our preferred model is pro bono project development and deferred-fee grant writing.
