Grant Writing
-
Looking to better understand the landscape of funding available to your organization? I work with you and your organization to identify private and government opportunities that are the perfect match for your program and your financial goals.
-
Whether your organization's data is pristine or a hot mess, I work to gather/crunch relevant market and internal programmatic data that makes the case for your proposal.
-
Program design is critical in proposal development. Consider me a thought partner—with an eye towards what funders are looking for—as you reinvigorate existing programming or build something entirely new.
-
Description teSome applications are a piece of cake, others take weeks and months to prepare. I'll collaborate across the organization to craft a winning LOI, proposal, or application.
Since 2021, I've won over $18 million in awards from private funders and government entities across the country. -
The work your organization does in your community is important, but you need data to back it up. I work alongside staff to dig deep and identify key metrics for program and organization success, then build the tools you need to measure—and share—your impact.
-
If your Institutional Giving strategies are serving you as well as that dull pencil you keep using, then I can help. Together with you and your team, I’ll craft strategies to help you go after more funding opportunities, from how to tackle outreach to identifying organization priorities to be funded.
Fundraising Communications
-
Understanding the full breadth of your tools, materials, and resources is critical for finding gaps. I’ll work with you and your team to create a comprehensive overview of your fundraising efforts as they exist today—from materials to processes. This audit will be paired with a set of recommendations that highlight key strategies for improving the effectiveness and efficiency of fundraising communications.
-
Telling your organization’s story is important for donors who are considering a gift to your organization. I’ll work with you, your team, and your donors to develop a case for support grounded in what makes your organization unique in the broad landscape of your sector.
-
Do you find that you’re walking into a donor meeting with nothing in hand to support the impact of your organization’s work? I’ll assess your existing materials, provide recommendations on additional documents that may be of value, then set about writing and designing additional fundraising materials.
-
An annual report is a critical tool in sharing your organizations impact, whether it’s a simple four page document or forty pages of storytelling, financials, and more. I’ll work with you and your team to produce an outline, interview contributors, draft and edit the content, and even design the report.
-
Looking to craft a highly customized major gift proposal for a donor? I can help you zero in on their interests and spotlight your programming in a way that’s compelling to unique donors.
