A Leverhaus service line

Know before you spend the effort finding out.

Leverhaus tells you which funders — or which competitors' moves — are actually worth your attention, before you spend weeks on a proposal that was never going to land, or find out about a market shift after it's already cost you.

Which one are you?

I'm a nonprofit — funder & donor intelligence

I'm a small business — market & competitor intelligence

For Nonprofits: Donor & Funder Intelligence

"We don't know if this funder is actually a fit until after we've already written the proposal."

"We keep applying to funders who quietly stopped giving in our space."

"Our proposals sound generic — we're not speaking the funder's own language."

"We don't know if a funder is financially stable before we build a relationship with them."

How It Works

1. Intake

your mission, your current funder targets, your financials.

2. Fit assessment

for each funder: how well they align on mission, geography, and typical grant size, plus a plain-language risk check on financial and leadership stability.

3. A clear recommendation

pursue or hold, and if pursuing, a recommended ask amount and approach. Not a raw data dump.

3. If a proposal is warranted

built in stages, with your review and approval at each stage before the next begins, so nothing goes out without a final human check.

This isn't theoretical — real funder relationships have been assessed and escalated using this exact process. Specific client work stays confidential, but the process itself is proven.

For Small Business: Market & Competitor Intelligence

The Pain, In Their Words

"I didn't think this was something I could afford."

"I only check competitors after something's already gone wrong."

"An agency for this feels like overkill for a business my size."

What's Included

Free Audit

a narrow, quick look: 3 specific things about your competitors you don't currently know. No commitment, no strings.

Market Snapshot Brief

competitor pricing, service offerings and positioning, and online reviews/reputation, synthesized into one written brief with a clear recommendation. Not a raw data dump, not a self-serve dashboard.

Optional ongoing monitoring

for businesses that want this refreshed on a cadence, not just as a one-time look. (Cadence and pricing still being scoped — ask on your discovery call.)

Not a dashboard, not a tool subscription — a synthesized recommendation from an actual person, at a price point self-serve tools and enterprise platforms both miss.

Pricing

Free audit — 3 quick findings, no commitment
Market Snapshot Brief — $500–$1,200 — One synthesized written brief

Book a free discovery call

A simple conversion layer — not a marketing overhaul.

1. Make catering visible.

Profile CTAs, a catering highlight, link-in-bio routing, listings cleanup, and a branded packages-and-pricing one-pager.

2. Make inquiries effortless.

A streamlined inquiry flow with instant auto-confirmation, a quote estimate, and a tracker — so no lead is ever lost.

3. Put you in front of the right buyers.

Researched, verified outreach to the event clients near you most likely to book — delivered as warm conversations, done for you.

What to expect:

Visibility fixes go live in days. Booking systems in about a week. Outreach builds over weeks. We always start with the fastest-impact gap.

Not an agency. An operations partner who builds the system.

Operations and automation background — working systems, not slide decks.

Done-for-you outreach — we run it, not just hand you a list.

AI-powered intake, quoting, and follow-up so nothing slips.

Respect for independent, community, and heritage food brands.

Built for food businesses where catering can be real revenue.

Established independents with a loyal following · BBQ, soul food, and comfort-food spots · Pizzerias, delis, taquerias · Cultural and heritage brands with a story corporate buyers want to support · Dedicated caterers with no marketing engine · Ghost kitchens expanding into events · Food trucks scaling into private events · Breweries, wineries, and venues with event space.

Not a fit: Operations without the kitchen capacity to fulfill events.

Why Leverhaus

Merry Jones

Founder & Principal

I spent 20+ years inside Fortune 500 companies, national banks, advisory firms, and nonprofits — always the person people came to for a clear read on where things actually stood before a decision got made. Competitive intelligence is the same instinct, formalized: don't guess, verify, then give a straight recommendation.

Whether it's a funder you're about to approach or a competitor you haven't looked at closely enough, the goal is the same — you should never find out the hard way what a little intelligence could have told you first.
