Need to Find Grants?
Locating grant opportunities and funders is one of the most important parts of grants work. If you need to locate opportunities and re not yet able or ready to work with a consultant, I recommend using Instrumentl as your one-stop grants research tool. It’s what I use and I think it’s better than anything else on the market (including the OG of grants research databases, Foundation Directory Online).
With Instrumentl, you can:
- Discover funders and new grant opportunities
- Research and identify best-fit funders in seconds
- Track and manage pre-award & post-award grant opportunities, tasks, contacts, cultivation work, and more
Over 3,000 nonprofits, grant consultants, and institutions use Instrumentl as their single source
of truth for grants. Start your free 14-day Instrumentl trial here and use my partner code, CAIN50, to save $50 your first month!

Unique knowledge of what makes arts orgs tick
Ashley’s knowledge of what makes an arts organization work (and fail) is so uniquely and thoroughly developed that she is perfect to bounce an idea (and all of the pros and cons I’ve already come up with to present to my board) off of! She can talk in specifics and broad terms and be incredibly helpful both ways.

Easy, accessible experience
You truly have been one of the greatest blessings the Cincinnati Ballet team received in my tenure. From the second we signed up for the 30-minute consultation, you made the process/experience so easy, accessible, and inspired confidence in your knowledge and experience in the arts sector and how you might be able to help us! I truly enjoyed every interaction I had with you, and the team we worked with commented often just how simple and engaging you made the process and how organized and efficient you are!
