My process taps into over 18 years of experience in the nonprofit, public and private sectors. Depending on your organization's needs, my services include:

  • Grant readiness review: If you are uncertain about how your organization or program fits into the grant making landscape, you might need help with setting expectations and learning steps to improve competitiveness and sustainability of your organization, program or project.
  • Program planning and design: By discovering and building on your organization's strengths, I will help you identify and shape new initiatives or projects to meet community needs and fulfill your strategic planning goals.
  • Prospect research: I will lead you through a process that will enhance your potential pool of funders and cultivation strategies.
  • Grant proposal and report writing: I will work with you to prepare foundation or government proposal narratives and budgets that illuminate your project or programs and concretely describe your program design, strategies and work plan.
  • Constituent relationship management (CRM): With my database experience and knowledge of CRM vendors, I can help your organization set up a process and a system for tracking donor and foundation cultivation efforts, donations, grants and progress reporting required by grants.
  • Donor stewardship and communications: To ensure care and relationship building with your supporters, you may need support with personalizing, proofreading, managing or editing donor correspondence, progress reports, annual reports and other written materials.
  • Website content management: I can help your organization maintain current website updates in tandem with other writing support.
  • Training: I can provide training and knowledge-transfer in the above activities.
