Uncertainty into Strategy

I identify a clear path forward to make grant funding strategic and tangible, eliminating the guesswork from the process.

Services

Project Development

I guide you through the project development process by asking the essential questions that funders will ask about your organization. Along the way, we’ll uncover new opportunities for grant prospecting and collaboration. Best of all, this comprehensive project development will lay the foundation for stronger, more streamlined grant applications.

Funding Strategy Development

I conduct in-depth grant database searches, systematically evaluating hundreds of grant programs for eligibility, program alignment, and competitiveness. From this process, I create a personalized funding plan tailored to your project’s goals. This plan will serve as your organization’s roadmap, guiding your grant pursuits over the next 12–18 months.

Grant Application Management

I manage the entire grant application process, from confirming eligibility to final submission, ensuring every detail is handled with care. I craft compelling narratives that blend data-driven insights with ethical storytelling, highlighting your organization’s unique strengths and impact. My goal is to clearly convey how your organization is uniquely positioned to align with and fulfill funder priorities.
