My Approach

My approach to grant writing works, because I know how funders talk. I speak their language of numbers, data, budgets, etc. But I also speak YOUR language - values, community, impact, storytelling. When I write grants, I merge the two languages, allowing me to draft compelling proposals.

Here’s are the tenants of my grant writing approach.

  1. Community-Centric Validation: I meticulously research and gather data about the communities you serve, validating the problems you aim to address. This substantiates your cause in the eyes of potential funders, enhancing your grant proposal's credibility.

  2. Simplified Communication, Preserved Vision: I specialize in simplifying complex projects while retaining your unique vision and approach. By translating intricate concepts into easily digestible language, I ensure that reviewers, no matter how distant from your project, fully comprehend your objectives.

  3. Detail-Oriented Budgeting: Just as the devil lies in the details, I am your fine tooth comb. Crafting comprehensive and detailed project budgets is my forte. I ensure that every financial aspect aligns seamlessly with your grant proposal, leaving no room for ambiguity.

  4. Amplified Project Impact: Impact isn't just a word – it's a driving force. I emphasize your project's potential impact with unwavering focus. By vividly portraying the transformative effects of your initiatives, I help funders recognize the real-world change your project can bring.
