Every nonprofit is unique, and so is my approach. I take time to understand your mission, strengths, and challenges, then tailor every step of the grant process to fit your needs. Whether you need targeted research, full proposal development, or ongoing grants management, I’ll partner with you to create a strategy that supports your vision and makes the most of your resources.
How I can help
I offer a full range of grant services designed to meet you where you are—whether you’re applying for your very first grant or managing a well-established funding program.
Grant Research
I find the best-fit funders for your unique mission and needs. Using professional grant databases (including some sources not available to the public), I research private foundations, corporations, and local, state, and federal government agencies to uncover opportunities that align with your work and have the greatest potential for impact.
Letters of Inquiry (LOIs)
Many private foundations and funders require an LOI before they’ll consider a full proposal. I craft concise, compelling letters that spark funders’ interest and open the door to the next stage.
Grant Writing and Submission
From developing a clear case for support to creating persuasive, well-organized proposals, I handle the writing process from start to finish. I make sure every piece—narrative, budget, attachments—meets the funder’s requirements and deadline.
Grant Calendars and Tracking Systems
I build and maintain a customized annual grant calendar for your organization, so you always know what’s coming next. I also track submissions, outcomes, and renewal opportunities to ensure nothing falls through the cracks.
Post-Award Reporting and Grant Stewardship
I can prepare any required grant reports and help with ongoing stewardship. This includes best practices like prompt thank-you letters, sharing press coverage, and keeping funders updated on your impact—small touches that make a big difference in long-term relationships.
Connections
Many successful grants begin with relationships. I help you tap into your network and discover ways to build authentic connections with potential funders—because a warm introduction can open doors that a simple written application might not.
