Sibyl Consulting
Sector-fluent writing on grant development, program evaluation, policy, and strategic planning — for nonprofits doing essential work in housing, homelessness, and social services.
Strategic Communications
Most housing nonprofits produce a lot of communication that doesn't add up to anything — because it wasn't built from a coherent foundation. Here's what strategic communications actually does, and why the story has to start with the people.
Fund Development
Most grant writing advice describes the destination without telling you how to get there. The barrier isn't effort — it's translation. Here's what funded proposals actually do differently, from someone who has written them.
Strategic Planning
Every housing nonprofit applying for government funding eventually encounters the phrase "Theory of Change." Here's what it actually means, why funders require it, and what separates a strong one from a weak one.
Program Evaluation
Most housing nonprofits treat program evaluation as a reporting obligation. That's not evaluation — it's documentation after the fact. Here's what government funders are actually looking for, and where organizations most often go wrong.
Fund Development
Reaching Home is one of the most significant federal funding streams available to housing and homelessness nonprofits in Canada — and one of the least well-documented for the organizations applying to it.
