Need help securing grants for your nonprofit?

I do the heavy lifting of researching, writing and managing grants so you can stay focused on what you do best.

I am a grant consultant with 15 years of experience teaching and consulting for cultural heritage organizations in the United States and abroad. My background includes working in Washington, D.C. with the Department of the Interior supporting federal grant applicants. I currently consult for nonprofit organizations worldwide and have secured over $2.4 million in funding for my clients.

My speciality is helping nonprofits with

large-scale state and federal grants.
