grant development
Competitive grant applications for nonprofits that are ready to make a strong case to funders.
I work with nonprofits to develop grant applications that clearly communicate impact, readiness, and alignment with funder priorities — so the proposal reflects the real strength of what you're doing.
With almost a decade of nonprofit experience and $400K+ in grants secured, I know what funders are looking for and how to position your work to meet it.
Grant engagements are project-based and scoped to the opportunity.
What’s Included
Grant development may include:
Funding opportunity review and eligibility assessment
Program outcomes and impact language
Grant narrative writing or editing
Budget alignment and supporting documentation
Ensuring alignment between funder priorities and your organization's capacity and goals

Is This the Right Fit?
Grant development is the right fit if you:
Are preparing one or more grant applications
Need experienced writing, positioning, or proposal development
Have a defined program or initiative seeking funding
This works well for organizations pursuing foundation, government, or mid-sized grant opportunities.
If your funding challenges are tied to decision-making, internal systems, or how work flows across the organization — the 90-Day Fractional Engagement is likely a better fit.
