Trestle is a funding and grant consultancy built for the organizations that traditional funding systems were never designed to support. We work with nonprofits, mission-driven startups, and independent filmmakers, with a deep focus on LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and underestimated communities navigating funding landscapes that weren't built with them in mind.
Our work spans the full funding picture: grant research and writing, funding strategy and pipeline development, donor and investor communications, pitch decks, organizational storytelling, and fractional development support. We meet clients where they are - whether that's a first-time grant applicant trying to understand the landscape or an established organization ready to build a long-term funding strategy.
We believe that the best-funded organizations aren't always doing the most important work, and that the gap between the two is solvable. Trestle exists to close it.
