Nearly $26 million secured. And yes, I actually enjoy this.
Grant writing isn’t just paperwork — it’s storytelling with a budget attached. I help nonprofits and municipalities secure funding from federal, state, local, foundation, and private sources. The kind of funding that actually moves the needle.
Here’s what I bring to the table:
Proven Results: Nearly $26 million secured across local, state, federal, foundation, and private funding streams. Because results beat promises every time.
Real-World Experience: I’ve been an Executive Director. I’ve managed volunteer boards, stretched impossible budgets, and written grants at 11pm because the deadline was tomorrow. I get it.
Beyond the Application: My construction background means I don’t just write infrastructure grants — I can manage the projects too. From paper to reality.
Community Impact: Designed and managed Municipal Façade Grant programs generating over $500,000 in private matching investments.
Who I Work With
Nonprofits
You’re juggling programs, donors, boards, and the constant hunt for sustainable funding. You need a grant partner who understands that your mission isn’t just a talking point, it’s the whole reason you show up every day.
I write grants that translate your impact into language funders respond to. Federal, state, foundations, private funders- I know what each one wants to hear and how to say it without losing your voice.
Municipalities
Infrastructure projects, Community development, Downtown revitalization. You know the funding is out there, you just need someone who can navigate the bureaucracy and turn your vision into a winning application.
I speak fluent government-ese. I’ve worked as a Lead Circuit Rider and Main Street manager. I understand timelines, the matching requirements, and the political realities of municipal projects.
Need more than Grant Writing?
Some organizations don’t just need a grant writer, they need a strategic support system to hold things together while they are in transition, understaffed, or running on volunteer power alone.
I’ve been there. As a former Executive Director, I have led organizations through growth phases, staff transitions, and the daily chaos of keeping the mission moving forward without burning out. You’re juggling programs, donors, boards, and the constant hunt for sustainable funding.
Nonprofit Leadership Support Can Include:
- Interim or Fractional Executive Director services
- Organizational Strategy and planning
- Board coordination and communications
- Fundraising support beyond grants ( appeals, donor communications)
- Operational management during transitions
This isn’t for everyone, I take on leadership support selectively based on fit and my current capacity. But if your organization needs more than a grant and you’re wondering how you’ll hold it all together, let’s talk!
Built on Ethics
As a member of the Grant Professionals and Association of Fundraising Professionals, I follow a strict code of ethics: transparent communication, integrity in every proposal, and accountability to your organization’s reputation. You’re trusting me to represent your mission to funders. I take that seriously.
