Opening doors for nonprofit leaders like you

I give nonprofit leaders the tools I wish I had in my first 5 years. I’ve raised over $1.5M for organizations, launched successful programs from scratch, and learned every lesson the hard way — so you don’t have to. 

  • Over $1.5 Million Secured

    From foundations, grants, corporate dollars, government, donor advised funds, fundraisers, and strategic partnerships.

  • Like Having a Team Member—Without the Full-Time Salary

    I step in like a trusted team member, offering expert help without the expense of hiring full-time staff.

  • 10+ Years in Nonprofit Experience

    I’ve turned big visions into reality—from persuading a city to donate a public bus for a mobile grocery store to taking home wins at pitch competitions. I’m here to help you build.

My Approach

Collaborative

I don’t just work for you—I work with you. Whether you’re a one-person powerhouse or a small team doing big things, I step in like an extension of your staff. I immerse myself in your mission, your goals, and your vision so we can build the, strategies, and storytelling that get you funded.

Experience-Driven

I’ve been in the trenches—building, scaling, and sustaining a nonprofit from the ground up. My approach is rooted in real-world experience, not theory. I don’t just understand what you’re facing—I’ve lived it. That’s why every strategy, tool, or grant I help you with is filtered through the lens of what actually works in today’s nonprofit landscape.

Holistic

No two nonprofits are the same, and your solutions shouldn’t be either. I take a holistic approach to you as a person, your organizational identity, and the specific season you’re in—because one-size-fits-all just doesn’t work.

Grant Research + Writing

Get funder ready and funder aligned.
I help nonprofits identify the right opportunities—and write compelling, tailored grant proposals that speak funders' language. Whether you’re new to grants or refining your strategy, I bring the clarity, structure, and storytelling that turn missions into funded outcomes.

FAQS

  • I primarily support grassroots and early- to mid-stage 501(c)(3) nonprofits with annual operating budgets of $500,000 or less for fundraising efforts, but I also consult with established organizations with annual operating budgets of $1 million dollars and over that are facing internal challenges. I’ve worked across sectors like food insecurity, housing, education, disaster relief, seniors, health and nutrition, and health equity.

  • Pricing is based on both the project's scope and your desired goals. I offer hourly, project based, and retainer pricing for flexible options. My hourly rate is $80 an hour and project based or retainers vary by project and scope.

    Note: I do not take a percentage of grant awards. I will always require your approval before we begin a contract.

  • No ethical grant writer or consultant can guarantee funding—there are too many variables outside anyone’s control, including who else is applying and how much funding they can award before they run out.

    What I can guarantee is that your proposal will be thoughtfully crafted, mission-aligned, and funder-ready. I focus on strategy, clarity, and positioning so that you're not just applying—you’re applying with intention to the right funders at the right time.

    My job isn’t just to write a grant, LOI, or RFP; it’s to increase your chances of long-term funding success and give you the highest chance of being awarded.

  • I offer grant research and writing, LOI development, family foundation identification, and funding strategy rooted in your mission and capacity. I help nonprofits build a compelling case for support backed by relevant data and storytelling that funders connect with. My services also include funder research profiles, program logic model and theory of change development, and grant readiness audits to ensure you're applying with clarity and intention. I also create core materials like pitch decks, impact reports, and one-pagers, and offer general consulting calls for nonprofits who need thought partnership, strategic advice, or help tackling specific challenges. Custom projects are welcome depending on your needs and my expertise—I’m here to provide high-quality support that’s both aligned and actionable.

  • I bring a 360-degree perspective to this work—not just as a grant writer, but as someone who has sat on multiple grant review committees and philanthropic panels deciding who gets funded. I understand what funders are really looking for because I’ve been in the room where those decisions are made.

    On top of that, I’m a nonprofit founder who’s successfully raised over $1.5 million while navigating the challenges of limited capacity, lean teams, and real-world constraints. I’ve built programs, secured funding, and grown an organization from the ground up. My approach is honest, hands-on, and built around what actually works—not what just sounds good on paper.
