About The Grant Lab
The Grant Lab
Strategic support for non-profits navigating real-world challenges grounded in five decades of hands-on experience.
The Grant Lab exists to strengthen non-profit resilience in a changing funding environment. We work with organisations and funders committed to lasting change offering strategic support that’s practical, honest, and built from lived experience inside the sector.
The Grant Lab brings 50+ years of combined experience across the full non-profit landscape from grassroots service delivery to nationally scaled, globally recognised programmes. The Grant Lab, alongside partners and specialized consultants, has worked where the pressure is real delivering outcomes, meeting donor expectations, and navigating the constant balance between mission and money.
Our work is shaped by real-world learning, not just frameworks or theory. Over the past two decades, we’ve helped non-profits and funders to:
- Secure multi-year grant funding through aligned, thoughtful proposals
- Design funder-ready strategies and strengthen internal systems
- Build curriculum and deliver accredited training
- Launch social enterprises grounded in sustainability and equity
- Align B-BBEE compliance with authentic social impact
- Lead strategic planning, M&E, and external evaluations with purpose and clarity
We don’t promise silver bullets. We partner with purpose-led organisations to build clarity, credibility, and long-term funding resilience.
Let’s strengthen your organisation from the inside out.
