Every equity-centered proposal we write carries the voice of the community it represents.

Empowering Change Through Research & Funding Justice


For nearly a decade, we’ve supported educators, scholars, and community leaders through culturally responsive research and grant writing that transforms equity-driven visions into funded, measurable impact.

Rooted in Ethnic Studies. Grounded in justice. Dedicated to sustainable change.

Why We Exist
Research is an act of remembrance. Grant writing is a promise to the future.
At Ethnic Studies Research & Grant Consulting, we bridge the two—turning the lived wisdom of communities into systems that fund justice.
Our work begins where data meets dignity.

Services we offer

Needs Assessment

Every partnership begins with understanding. Our Needs Assessment examines your organization’s research and grant capacity, identifying strengths, gaps, and opportunities for growth. Through thoughtful analysis, we establish a clear starting point and develop a roadmap shaped by our experience as social justice research and grant consultants and community-based strategists, guiding your institution toward equitable, lasting funding and development success. The cost of this service is inclusive of one hour.

Grant Writing

With nearly a decade of experience developing competitive proposals across federal, corporate, and foundation sectors, we craft equity-centered proposal narratives that transform complex ideas into fundable strategies. This initial session includes one hour of dedicated grant writing support; additional hours are invoiced as needed. Our approach blends equity-based strategic precision with authentic storytelling—ensuring your proposal reflects both a culturally response framework and measurable impact.

Curriculum Development

Drawing on extensive experience designing university-level curricula in Black Creative Arts and Blacks in Urban America, we create educational diversity and inclusion frameworks that center culture, social justice research, critical inquiry, and community relevance. Each session includes one hour of personalized curriculum design support; additional hours are invoiced as needed. Our work ensures that every course or equity-centered program reflects depth, authenticity, and academic excellence rooted in the Black intellectual tradition.

Our
company ethos

“The Archive of Us”

We write in the language of liberation.
We gather stories that were never meant to be measured,
and turn them into frameworks that remember who we are.

Our work begins where the spreadsheet ends —
in classrooms, in community rooms, in the quiet archives of resilience.

We believe research is care.
That data can hold dignity.
That funding, when written with intention, can repair.

We are Ethnic Studies Research & Grant Consulting —
transforming inquiry into equity,
and justice into a measurable practice of hope.
