An effective grant proposal for a small nonprofit is all in the details. Being able to mix one's organizational skills, creativity and understanding that grant proposals are the first step in crafting a relationship with a foundation is key to success.
My experience as a grant-writer for several organizations throughout the country from Boston, Massachusetts to Prescott, Arizona has allowed for me to deliver not only winning proposals, but initiate partnerships to better serve organizations population in need. Employed with numerous different organizations ranging in missions from religion-based afterschool programs, innovative educational methods to providing services to homeless women and their children my writing style is unimpeachable and timelines well-organized to meet deadlines. Taking my time to review prior awards and denials also creates the groundwork for every new project about long-term sustainability. My dedication to improving Performance, enhancing programs and inspiring systemic change has led me down a successful path of raising over $500,000 in foundation funding and over $300,000 in fundraising events.
Your organization's need for a grant-writer with a dedication to productivity to apply for foundation grants for start-up costs fits not only the services I provide to my clients, but the initiation to a great partnership to building the sustainability your organization is looking for. As an experienced Director of Youth programs I understand the components of a programs, what foundations look for in evaluation methods and developing the budget.
