grant development
Strategic grant development for nonprofits that want clarity, credibility, and funder-aligned funding.
I support nonprofits in developing competitive grant applications that clearly communicate impact, readiness, and alignment with funder priorities.
With 8+ years of nonprofit leadership experience and $400,000+ in grant funding secured, I help organizations navigate funding opportunities and submit strong proposals that reflect the real strength of their programs.
Grant engagements are project-based and tailored to the scope of the opportunity.
What’s Included
Grant development support 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 organizational capacity
My role is to help translate your organization’s work into a clear, compelling application that funders can confidently invest in.

Is This the Right Fit?
Grant development projects are best suited for organizations that:
Are preparing one or more grant applications
Need experienced support with writing, positioning, or proposal development
Have a defined program or initiative seeking funding
This service works well for organizations pursuing foundation, government, or mid-sized grant opportunities.
If you're looking for long-term support with fundraising, operations, and communications, my Fractional Operations & Communications partnership may be a better fit.
