Here are some things I know about writing and developing grant programs and partnerships that work.
Non-Profit Grants
I have experience writing proposals for non-profits, including private foundation, government, regional commission, and local government proposals. While I don’t know everything, I’m excited to share my tips, tricks, and lessons learned.
Program Development
My years of experience working in, designing, and administering grant programs for hard-to-serve populations have taught me that the planning phase is crucial. Non-profit programs require passion, creativity, and a lot of out-of-the-box thinking.
Building Partnerships
A single entity rarely operates great programs. The phrase “it takes a village ” applies here as well. However, bad partnerships can turn great programs into disasters. Build good alliances and the programs practically run themselves.
Consulting
Should you require a consultant to assist in conceptualizing or designing a program, I am at your service. Additionally, I offer a beginner’s workshop on grant writing, suitable for both individuals and small groups. For more information, please feel free to reach out.
