I have extensive experience as a grant writer who has raised funds in a full-time capacity for various non-profit organizations as well as an independent contractor and volunteer supporting small agencies with limited fundraising staff. I’ve raised over $2 million in these roles and have often served as a grant-writing coach to emerging fundraisers or those seeking to strengthen grant-writing skills; prospect research; program alignment with funding requirements; organizational partnerships; the quality and messaging of fundraising collateral; grants management, etc. My capabilities emerge from extensive background in the non-profit sector, largely in the educational and social service realms, where in addition to raising funds, I ran programs and organizations; conducted outreach and community building through partnerships; developed and managed projects; and produced communications assets, among others. This diversity of experience speaks to my ability to oversee the managerial tasks the position requires.
