Services

Bignell Strategies Group helps organizations turn meaningful ideas into well-designed, fundable, and sustainable programs.

Strategic Support for Organizations Serving Older Adults

Grant Strategy, Development, and Support

Securing grant funding starts long before the narrative is written. I help organizations identify aligned funding opportunities, clarify community needs, develop strong program models, and design realistic implementation and evaluation plans. From there, I support the development of a compelling grant narrative that connects your organization’s mission, community impact, and funder priorities.

Support may also continue after the award, including assistance with implementation planning, evaluation tracking, reporting, and grant compliance. This service is ideal for organizations that have strong ideas but need strategic guidance to move from opportunity to funded proposal — and from funded proposal to successful implementation.

Fundable Program Design

I help turn strong ideas into funder-ready program models with clear goals, evidence-informed strategies, logic models, and realistic evaluation plans.

Proven Grant Strategy

Since 2021, I have helped secure more than $2.2 million in grant funding for nutrition, health, and aging-related programs.

Post-Award Implementation Support

I support organizations after funding is awarded with implementation planning, progress reporting, compliance support, and impact storytelling.

Program Development and Evaluation

Strong programs begin with a clear understanding of the people they are designed to serve. I help organizations conduct comprehensive needs assessments to identify participant interests, barriers, strengths, and priorities. This foundation ensures that new programs are not only evidence-informed, but also relevant, engaging, and responsive to the community.

Using best practices in health promotion, nutrition education, and aging services, I support the development of programs that are practical, meaningful, and positioned for measurable impact. My specialties include health and wellness programming for older adults, with an emphasis on programs that promote wellbeing, independence, connection, and quality of life.

“The best programs are not simply evidence-informed — they are audience-informed. My approach blends participant needs, best practices, logic models, and practical implementation tools to create programs that truly connect and make a difference.”

Strategic Organizational Support

Organizations serving older adults are often balancing big missions with limited time, staff, and resources. I provide strategic support to help teams clarify priorities, strengthen internal capacity, and move forward with greater focus and confidence.

Services may include strategic planning, nonprofit board development, and staff training in nutrition, wellness, and health promotion topics. Whether your organization is preparing for growth, refining its direction, or strengthening its team, I offer collaborative support that helps translate vision into actionable next steps.

Each service can be customized to meet your organization’s goals, capacity, and stage of development. Explore the individual service pages to learn more about how Bignell Strategies Group can support your work.
