Welcome
Imagine New Greatness (ING) is a results-driven business-consulting agency that turns bold ideas into bankable reality.

About
Imagine New Greatness
Imagine New Greatness (ING) exists for one purpose: to turn big-hearted visions into funded, functioning realities. We’re a boutique consultancy that marries award-winning grant writing, no-fluff business coaching, and launch-ready start-up guidance into a single, seamless service stack—so clients move from inspiration to execution without switching firms or losing momentum.
Founded by Ingrid R. Lewis, MA, LPC, a counselor-turned-program builder who has secured multi-million-dollar grants and led top academic divisions, ING combines deep empathy with boardroom rigor. Ingrid’s cross-industry résumé—spanning education, healthcare, culinary arts, and community development—means we speak the language of both mission-driven nonprofits and profit-seeking entrepreneurs.
At ING, every engagement starts with a tailored success map:
-
Clarify the goal → nail the “why” and measurable outcomes.
-
Align the funding → target grants or revenue models that fit.
-
Build the playbook → actionable steps, owners, and milestones.
-
Coach the execution → weekly checkpoints until results are real.
The result? Clients secure the capital they need, launch businesses that last, and—most importantly—become the next, best version of themselves. That’s the greatness we imagine, then deliver.
