A curated, scored portfolio of opportunities filtered for realistic fit and strategic value — not a bulk list of grants.

The Pipeline

Targeted, scored,
and filtered.

With the assessment complete, DSA builds a targeted prospect pipeline — not a generic opportunity dump, but a curated portfolio filtered for your specific organizational capacity and goals.

  • Prospect scoring: Each opportunity evaluated against organizational capacity, funder priorities, and competition density
  • Go/no-go filters: Decision criteria that protect your team's bandwidth from low-probability pursuits
  • Deadline mapping: All opportunities mapped against a 6–12 month funder calendar
  • Strategy memo: Clear recommendation on which opportunities to pursue, in what order, and why

Deliverable: A scored prospect list with 10–20 opportunities, plus a strategy memo that becomes your team's pursuit playbook.
