Funding strategies built around your mission, goals, and capacity:

Grant research, strategy, and writing support for organizations doing important work.

Flexible, end-to-end grant consulting for nonprofits, schools, and workforce programs.

Services, Process & Approach

Grant consulting services are tailored to each organization’s needs—support can be project-based, short-term, or ongoing.

 

I work with nonprofit and public-serving organizations that are seeking grant funding to support programs, services, and initiatives that benefit their communities. This includes community-based organizations, schools, colleges, and workforce and education partners at various stages of grant readiness.

 

Organizations I support often:

  • Are new to pursuing grant funding and need guidance getting started

  • Have applied for grants in the past but want to be more strategic

  • Need experienced grant support without hiring full-time staff

  • Are managing multiple priorities and need additional capacity during busy funding cycles

 

I adapt my approach to each organization’s structure, experience level, and internal capacity. Whether you need help identifying the right funding opportunities, preparing a competitive proposal, or managing the grant development process, I meet organizations where they are and tailor support to their goals.

Grant Research & Strategy

Strong grant outcomes start with the right strategy. I help organizations understand the funding landscape and identify opportunities that align with their mission, capacity, and long-term goals.

 

This work often includes:

  • Targeted grant prospect research and funding scans

  • Grant readiness assessments and capacity discussions

  • Strategic prioritization of opportunities

  • Alignment of programs, timelines, and funder expectations

 

Whether you’re new to pursuing grants or looking to be more intentional with your efforts, I provide practical guidance to help you focus on opportunities that make sense—and avoid those that don’t.

Grant Writing & Development

I provide high-quality grant writing and development support for federal, state, and foundation funding opportunities. My approach is collaborative, thoughtful, and grounded in each organization’s real-world capacity.

 

Grant writing support may include:

  • Letters of Intent (LOIs) and full grant proposals

  • Narrative development and editing

  • Budget narratives and required attachments

  • Coordination of application components and deadlines

 

I work closely with organizational leaders and staff to translate programs and impact into clear, compelling proposals that meet funder guidelines and tell a strong story.

Grant Preparation & Ongoing Support

For organizations that need additional capacity or experienced support, I offer flexible, ongoing grant assistance. This can be project-based or structured as short-term or fractional support.

 

This may include:

  • Managing application timelines and submissions

  • Editing, refinement, and compliance review

  • Supporting multiple grant applications simultaneously

  • Acting as interim or supplemental grant support

  • Providing assistance with grant reporting and compliance

This option is ideal for organizations without full-time grant staff or those navigating busy funding cycles who need reliable, experienced assistance.

Our Process

Working together is straighforward and flexible. Here is what you can expect:

Schedule an Exploratory Call

We begin with a brief introductory call or virtual meeting to learn more about your organization. I’ll ask a few questions to better understand your mission, funding goals, timeline, and budget, and you’ll have the opportunity to share what kind of support you’re looking for.

Customized Scope & Agreement

Based on our conversation, I’ll develop a draft agreement outlining recommended services, scope, and timelines. I typically provide at least two options to give you flexibility in choosing the level of support that best fits your needs and capacity.

 

Once the agreement is finalized, we get started right away. I work collaboratively with you and your team and adapt as needed throughout the process to ensure support aligns with your goals and priorities.

 

It's that easy.
