Nonprofit Basics

As a grant writer and researcher, I offer the best chances of success for your project. I have raised millions of dollars of funds- at the same time as running the organizations. I've also served on several boards and grant review committees, so I have a great understanding of the process from funders' perspectives. I have helped organizations in environmental, educational, arts, and social service related fields, as well as individual entrepreneurs, land managers, and artists. I have access to the Foundation Database Online, which is the best database of foundations and grants available, allowing for more thorough and useful searches. I am efficient and will be honest with you if I don't think a grant is worth applying for. This saves the organizations that I work with valuable time and money.
