Our Collaborative
4‑Phase Process
Needs Assessment
Phase 1. A focused assessment that identifies pain points, performance gaps, and compliance risks, then delivers a clear, tailored roadmap to stronger grants management and better funding outcomes.
Strategic Planning & Resource Alignment
Phase 2. We design workflows, reporting systems, and training tools to optimize grant performance.
Implementation & Ongoing Support
Phase 3. From proposal reviews to subrecipient oversight, we guide you through every step of the grants management process with clarity and consistency.
Continuous Partnership
Phase 4. We're not transactional.
JSC walks alongside your team through the full grant cycle —building staff skills, strengthening systems, and expanding your organizational capacity.
We specialize in turning complex funding challenges into clear, manageable solutions for non profits, municipalities, tribal governments and mission-driven organizations.
Our Mission
At Joint-Source Consultants (JSC), we believe mission-driven organizations deserve funding solutions that work.
““My grants journey didn’t start in an office; it started at a rickety, kitchen table in Tucson, on an IBM Selectric II typewriter—watching my mom and her friends, Ms. Birdie and Ms. Barb, pour their blood, sweat, and tears into fighting for the underdogs in our community and scraping together funding to start needed services and programs." Those first grants, and seeing their passion for helping underserved communities from the ground up is what fostered my desire to empower nonprofit, service providers - street soldiers.
That hands-on experience, combined with years of professional grant work and formal training is why I understand and approach the entire grants lifecycle with empathy — from the initial application to the final, high-stakes audit.
"I know what it takes to move from a dream at a kitchen table to a fully funded, resilient mission.” -Sonia Thomas, Founder Joint-Source Consultants
We listen, analyze, and partner closely with nonprofits, tribal governments, higher education entities and municipalities to unlock funding challenges, increase operational capacity, build credibility, and amplify your community impact.
Strategic Grant Management and Compliance
Organizations trust Joint Source Consultants when the stakes are high and mistakes aren’t an option.
Backed by decades of hands-on work with federal, state, and local grant programs, our founder and team bring deep seated expertise in lifecycle grants management, compliance monitoring, award management, and internal controls.
We help you:
• Navigate complex grant requirements with confidence
• Build and strengthen internal controls that stand up to scrutiny
• Deliver accurate, on-time reporting
• Grow your team’s capacity to efficiently manage more funding
Proposal Review / RFP
Win more funding with stronger proposals. We review and refine
grant proposals and RFP responses so they are clear, compelling, and tightly aligned with funder priorities to maximize your chances of award.
Grants Management
From award to closeout, effective grants management helps you manage grant funds effectively, assess and strengthen internal controls, and train staff so you protect current awards, and position your organization for future funding.
Capacity Building / Training
Capacity-building support develops staff skills in federal grant compliance, reporting, and subrecipient monitoring while putting practical tools and systems in place.
Internal Controls
Internal Controls safeguard your grant funds, reduce error risk, and keep you audit-ready. We'll review your current processes, map workflows, identify gaps, and co-develop clear procedures, checklists, and a grants roadmap.
We’re more than consultants—we’re your strategic partners in sustainable grants management.
