Practice

---

Fraser Leadership Group helps public agencies, nonprofit organizations, healthcare organizations, and educational institutions make disciplined funding decisions, develop competitive proposals, and strengthen their capacity to manage grant-funded work responsibly.

Led by Dr. David E. Fraser, a practitioner-scholar with more than three decades of experience, this practice addresses the full grant lifecycle—from opportunity assessment and feasibility through program design, proposal development, budgeting, evaluation, award management, and stewardship. 

Dr. Fraser has secured more than $25 million in grant funding and has provided technical guidance that helped organizations secure an additional $20 million in funding. Additionally, he has spent over 20 years as an expert grant reviewer. 

Our services include:

• Grant readiness and organizational-capacity assessments
• Funding-opportunity screening and feasibility analysis
• Program design, proposal development, and technical review
• Budget, evaluation, and proposal-alignment support
• Award transition, grant management, and stewardship guidance
• Customized workshops and grant-capacity development

Whether evaluating a funding opportunity, developing a proposal, strengthening an internal grants function, or managing an award, Fraser Leadership Group helps organizations approach funding strategically, responsibly, and with clear organizational purpose.

Fraser Leadership Group helps public, healthcare, nonprofit, and educational organizations strengthen leadership readiness, develop emerging leaders, and build the systems needed to sustain organizational capacity over time.

Led by Dr. David E. Fraser, a senior public-sector leader, educator, author, and scholar-practitioner with more than three decades of experience, this practice focuses on the critical transition from technical expertise to leadership competence. The approach emphasizes intentional preparation, mentoring, coaching, ethical decision-making, and leadership pipelines rather than leaving development to chance. 

These themes are central to Promoted Into Incompetence, which treats leadership readiness as an organizational responsibility rather than simply an individual challenge.

Our services include:

• Leadership-readiness and organizational-capacity assessments
• Leadership pipeline and succession planning
• Emerging-leader and management development
• Mentoring, coaching, and transition support
• Executive retreats, strategic planning, and organizational alignment
• Customized leadership workshops, seminars, and webinars

Whether preparing new supervisors, strengthening the management bench, or building long-term leadership capacity, Fraser Leadership Group helps organizations develop leaders intentionally and sustain competence across transitions.

I think this is much closer to the length and tone the Practice page needs while still reflecting the real substance of your leadership work.

• Public health and healthcare education
• Community-based health and wellness initiatives
• Healthcare organizational planning and professional development
