I have extensive experience in corporate and foundation relations through my work with range of non-profit organizations from health & human service agencies to institutions of higher education. For me, fundraising isn’t about sales or “begging” for money. Instead, I see it as an opportunity to play matchmaker between a non-profit’s important mission and a funder who is looking for a meaningful, tangible way to become involved in their community. My skill set in grant-writing is wide ranging from prospect research, proposal writing, and budget preparation to penning final reports and preparing renewals.I have successfully secured and renewed grants from private, public, and corporate grant-making agencies, including: * The Rockefeller Foundation * The John D. & Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation * The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation * New York Community Trust * The Dyson Foundation * The Hyde and Watson Foundation * Avon Foundation f
