About
A small firm that has worked both sides
GrantPathways Funding Solutions is a woman-owned grant consulting firm based in Georgia. We work with nonprofits, local governments, housing authorities and state agencies.
Nicole Jones, CGMS
Founder and Principal Consultant
Nicole has worked in public funding for more than a decade, as a funder and as a grant writer.
At the Georgia Governor's Office of Planning and Budget she managed federal recovery funds, including broadband and Capital Projects Fund portfolios serving counties across Georgia. As a contract Grant Management Officer at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention she handled awards from the notice of award through closeout: negotiating budgets, reviewing reports and monitoring recipients.
She began her career in public education, working with a local board of education. She holds the Certified Grants Management Specialist credential, and her work now centers on affordable housing and community development.
Stefanie Thomson
Funding Consultant, Housing for Women
Stefanie leads our work with organizations that provide transitional and reentry housing for women.
She comes from the nonprofit side, with experience in transitional housing, domestic violence services, food banks and volunteer programs, and she is especially strong at building relationships with funders.
How we work
Three habits you can hold us to
We tell you which grants to skip
A poor fit costs weeks you will not get back. We would rather pursue two real opportunities than pad a list.
We write for the reviewer and the auditor
The same application has to score well now and hold up when it is monitored later.
We leave things in writing
Procedures, calendars and tracking tools stay with your team after the engagement ends.
- Woman-owned
- Based in Georgia
- Certified Grants Management Specialist on staff

A short call will tell both of us. If we are not the right firm for it, we will say so.
