• As a Certified Grant Consultant, I choose to work with small 501(c)3 nonprofit organizations to help ensure an overall funding strategy.
• Verify and/or help organizations meet necessary criteria for grant funding eligibility
• Provide funding resource direction about incorporating a variety of funding resources including grant funding, fundraisers, direct mail, social media, blogging and more.
• Train staff and/or volunteers with grant writing skills and knowledge
• Grant Writing and Funding Workshops   

 

More than 15 years ago, I made the leap. Like most newbies who enter the grant writing arena, I jumped in feet first and attempted to apply for a few grant opportunities. I was confident the funds would be received and devastated when rejected. Eventually, I discovered the key to grant writing was perseverance. I read everything I could about grant funding, enrolled in classes, attended grant writing workshops, and went back to school to obtain my Grant Consultant Certification. The more I became involved with helping raise funds for a few nonprofits, the more involved I wanted to be. Serving as a grant writer for many years, I recognized my reach was limited. As a consultant, I have the ability to help more organizations increase the likelihood of receiving grant funding. As part of the process, I always stress the importance of having a balanced stream of revenue including fundraising, individual donations, sponsorships, partnerships, direct mail, awareness campaigns, and of course grant funding.

 

Living from grant to grant is not sustainable!
