Relationships Drive Revenue. Strategy Creates Impact.
The Granados Group helps mission-driven organizations build stronger partnerships, grow sustainable revenue, and create meaningful impact.
We work with nonprofits, associations, foundations, corporations, and community leaders to develop customized strategies around fundraising, corporate partnerships, sponsorships, board and executive engagement, and high-impact events.
Our work sits at the intersection of philanthropy, business, and community—connecting organizations with the people, resources, and opportunities that can move their missions forward.
LET’S WORK TOGETHER!
What Worked Yesterday May Not Work Tomorrow.
The fundraising and philanthropic landscape is constantly changing.
Corporate priorities shift. Donor expectations evolve. Technology creates new ways to connect. Competition for philanthropic investment increases. And organizations are being asked to demonstrate greater alignment and measurable impact.
Successful organizations can't simply rely on the relationships, events, sponsorship packages, or fundraising strategies that worked in the past.
They have to evolve.
At The Granados Group, we help clients continually evaluate what they're doing, why they're doing it, what's changing, and where new opportunities exist.
We combine decades of relationship-building experience with current trends, data, technology, compelling storytelling, and innovative engagement strategies to help our clients stand out in an increasingly competitive landscape.How We Help
How We Help

Strategy, Trends & Innovation
Evaluate what's working, identify what's changing, and develop strategies that position organizations for what comes next.
More Than an Ask. Build a Partnership.
Fundraising is ultimately about people.
The strongest organizations don't simply ask donors and companies for support. They create meaningful opportunities for people to become invested in the mission.
We help organizations move beyond transactional fundraising to build relationships grounded in:
Shared Value | Trust | Stewardship | Engagement | Storytelling | Measurable Impact
Because a successful partnership shouldn't be defined by one check, one sponsorship, or one event. It should create value and impact for everyone involved.
We Make Things Happen.
By connecting the right people, purpose, and opportunities.
Whether you're looking to grow revenue, build a corporate partnership program, engage your board, rethink a signature event, strengthen donor relationships, or determine what comes next, The Granados Group brings an adaptable and relationship-driven approach to the work.
Let's build what comes next.
Testimonials
“I first met Lee Granados when I was retained as a consultant of a national non-profit and she was the Senior Director of Development. I found her to be open to feedback and collaboration while also pushing new ideas and energy to reach the goals established.
Since establishing The Granados Group, Lee and I have worked collaboratively on a few projects that utilize both of our skillsets and backgrounds. She has been able to bring her knowledge and background in fundraising to help events meet their financial goals, increase visibility and highlight their mission. It has been a pleasure to work with her!”
“We have been working with Lee for 3 years now on Race to Beat Cancer. Lee is great to work with. She has a fantastic work ethic, she takes charge and delivers. Lee is also very organized and a strategic thinker. Our race has grown significantly under Lee’s management and we trust her to make decisions on our behalf.”
“The Granados Group absolutely blew me away with a HumanitiesDC 40th anniversary kick off event in 2019, which they pulled together on a moment’s notice.
Great event that they arranged at the Ampeer, producing a lovely showcase for our organization. On point with all the details, not to mention attracting a good crowd, on budget, on time and amazing follow ups. BRAVA to the Granados Group.”
