We help nonprofits do the hard parts.

Launching. Fundraising. Figuring out what's actually working.

Six ways we build nonprofit infrastructure.

Grant writing at a 75% win rate. Systems that actually run themselves. Events that raise real money. Launches that don't collapse in year two. Pick what you need. Or call us to figure it out together.

01

Grant Writing & Strategy

75% award rate. From federal grants to major private foundations. We research, write, and manage the full cycle end to end.

02

Prospect Research

We find the donors, foundations, and funders you didn't know existed. Deep dives to identify major gift potential and foundation fit.

03

Development Plans

Custom fundraising roadmaps. No guesswork, just a strategy that compounds across years.

04

Event Production

From signature galas to intimate donor gatherings. We've produced a single event that raised $2M in one night, and managed audiences of 600+.

05

Nonprofit Launch & Structure

Articles, Bylaws, 501(c)(3), board development, first-year fundraising strategy. Start strong, stay compliant.

06

Dissolution & Transition

Not every organization lasts forever. We help nonprofits close ethically, transfer assets, and transition programs with dignity.

Twenty years leading fundraising, executive operations, and data systems for nonprofits. Not just advising. Doing the work.

Find it. Fund it. Build it.

"Doesn't fit in a box.
Builds the box,
then figures out
how to fill it."

Over 20 years working with nonprofits at every stage. Launch. Growth. Crisis. Dissolution.

Ashley Capps has led fundraising, executive operations, and data systems for organizations ranging from federally funded human services agencies to international philanthropists and world-renowned artists.

Early in her career, she co-authored seven publications for La Strada Moldova, focused on migrant women, human trafficking prevention, and family violence. That experience shaped a core belief behind AshCapps today: impact requires infrastructure, not just passion.

Her work has been covered in Forbes, LA Times, The Times of London, The Sunday Times, The Daily Mail, Palm Beach Illustrated, PopSugar, WPB Magazine, MSN, Thrillist, Reader's Digest, and Manchester Evening News.

That same rigor shows up in every client AshCapps takes on today.

The numbers behind the work.

Three decades. Hundreds of projects. Here's what that looks like in numbers.
