Services
Five ways we strengthen your organization
Every engagement is scoped to your priorities and your capacity — from a two-week diagnostic to ongoing advisory support.
Compliance Assure™
Compliance frameworks, internal controls, audit readiness, and corrective action planning — aligned with 2 CFR 200 (Uniform Guidance), OMB circulars, and the FAR. We find the gaps before your auditor or awarding agency does, then fix them with controls your staff can maintain.
Best for: organizations preparing for a single audit, responding to findings, or standing up new federal awards.
Policy Lab™
Policy drafting, modernization, and gap analysis. SOPs, SOWs, and governance toolkits aligned with federal and Tribal requirements including ISDEAA, NAHASDA, ICWA, DEIA, and USERRA. Approval workflows and staff rollout included — a policy nobody follows is just paper.
Best for: organizations with outdated manuals, new programs needing structure, or councils modernizing governance.
Grant Ready Now™
Full-cycle grant support: opportunity identification, NOFO-compliant narratives, defensible budgets, post-award reporting, subrecipient monitoring, and performance measures. We write to win — and we build the post-award systems that keep you in good standing.
Best for: organizations pursuing federal or foundation funding, or managing awards that outgrew their systems.
Contract & 638 Support
P.L. 93-638 self-determination contract and compact support, Contract Support Costs, procurement guidance, and scope and deliverable planning. Federal contracting expertise applied in service of Tribal sovereignty.
Best for: Tribes entering or expanding self-determination contracting.
Leadership Training & Technical Assistance
Executive development, workforce systems, onboarding, supervisor tools, and operational readiness. Rooted in a military ethic of mission accomplishment — built for your community’s realities.
Best for: growing programs, new supervisors, and organizations investing in their people.
