Thurmond Consulting LLC was founded in 2004 with a simple yet powerful mission—to help faith-based and not-for-profit organizations secure funding for homeless services. What began as a two-person team in a small Sacramento office quickly became a driving force in bridging resources to underserved communities.
We saw firsthand the challenges faced by those on the margins and the tireless efforts of local groups working to make a difference. Writing grants wasn’t just a task; it was a means to fuel their mission, ensuring vital funding reached the people who needed it most.
But our role soon expanded beyond securing funding. Organizations needed more than grants—they needed strategic partners to help them bring their vision to life.
Now a leading consulting firm in California, Thurmond Consulting provides full-service development management for large-scale housing and community development projects. We specialize in navigating complex funding landscapes, overseeing project execution, and ensuring that mission-driven initiatives have a lasting impact.
