Grant Writer & Funding Strategist
Thoughtful, research-driven grant strategy for mission-driven organizations.
Find The Money That Fits
Oregon-based, I help mission-driven nonprofits and community-rooted organizations nationwide identify funding opportunities that genuinely align with their work. Rather than chasing every available grant, I focus on finding the right relationships between an organization’s goals, its community, and a funder’s priorities.
Deep Research Is My Starting Point
Strong funding strategy begins with asking good questions. I dig into funders, programs, eligibility, past giving, and priorities to understand where a real opportunity exists, and where it doesn’t. That research becomes the foundation for a focused, intentional funding strategy.
Build Something That Lasts
A successful grant program is more than a collection of applications. I build practical systems for finding, tracking, pursuing, and stewarding funding so organizations can develop a sustainable approach rather than starting from scratch with every grant cycle.
Turn Good Work Into A Compelling Story
The organizations I work with are already doing meaningful work. My role is to understand that work deeply and communicate its value clearly to help funders see the need, the approach, and the difference their support can make.
Follow The Funding Through
My experience spans grant research, proposal development, budgets, funder relationships, reporting, and post-award requirements. Over the past three years, I have helped organizations working in Tribal communities, social justice, food security, workforce equity, and veterans services secure more than $350,000 in funding while building practical systems for sustainable funding.
