I specialize in winning critical funds through grant and RFP writing for non-profit organizations and SMEs (Small and Midsized Enterprise).

While you focus on your mission and daily operations, let me showcase your unique vision and value proposition for:

• public and private foundations

• corporations and individuals

• government departments at the federal, state/provincial, municipal, city, and tribal levels

I service a diverse clientele in a variety of industries, including:

• K-12 and higher education

• Arts and Culture

• Immigration

• Employee training for SMEs

With expertise in operations, my grant writing includes a thorough understanding of your financial position and operating budget. The most competitive narrative must also tell the story behind your financial position.

At its heart, a persuasive grant proposal must tell a compelling story.

How do I ensure that I can tell your story?

Consultation: I’ll speak with you—as well as a board member, staff member, or stakeholder—about your organization’s achievements, objectives, and areas for growth.

Data Points: A heart-warming story of an individual’s experience is compelling--but pairing it with data on impact over time helps your request rise above the rest.

Research: Do you need more robust citations or recent industry evidence? A few well-chosen statistics can help funders visualize the need your organization fills.

Site Visit: If appropriate, I’d love to experience your organization in action to help me bring your project to life.

The photo above was taken after I won the very first grant request I ever wrote! Fresh from an undergraduate degree in music, I moved to Brazil to study Portuguese language and popular music for a year.

Staying with host families and directing my own learning, this cultural experience changed the trajectory of my life… And it showed me how passion and persistence can lead to life-changing results.

Today, few things give me greater pleasure than bringing critical funds to your important work.

For more than ten years, I’ve written grants and RFPs to support non-profits, small businesses, and individual artists.

I’ve served as Director of Operations of a growing national non-profit organization, as well as the Assistant Director of arts outreach for an R1 public university. See below for a few favorite data points from that work.

Putting your trust in the right expert can give you the time you need to run your organization and the funds you need to be exceptional.
