Expert Grant Seeker and Writer with Federal Grant Review Experience
$65.00/hr
Welcome to my Upwork profile! My name is Brooke. I have been an Upwork consultant since February 2023 and a freelancer since 2013. With over two decades of experience in grant seeking, writing, and reviewing, I have the expertise your project needs to secure funding. My extensive background includes a successful track record in securing federal, corporate, and foundation grants. I have honed my craft across a wide range of sectors, including health services, education, justice, community development, technology, historic preservation and workforce development.
I specialize in navigating complex grant applications, particularly at the federal level, with a deep understanding from serving as a reviewer for notable agencies such as the Department of Health and Human Services, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the Department of Education. This unique perspective as a reviewer allows me to craft applications that resonate deeply with funding bodies, ensuring that your proposals are seen and favored.
My Core Competencies:
Grant Writing Expertise--Proficient in constructing compelling narratives and robust funding applications that articulate clear, impactful objectives.
Strategic Prospecting--Skilled in identifying and securing the most fitting funding opportunities through advanced research tools and methodologies, including a professional license with Instrumentl.com for precise funder matching.
Analytical Skills--My Mathematics degree enhances my ability to perform detailed analytics, crucial for developing accurate budget forecasts and interpreting complex data to support proposal narratives.
Professional Experience:
My career includes key positions where I've led significant grant initiatives, managed teams, and delivered strategic consultations that have substantially benefited my clients' operational and project goals. My work involves:
--Detailed needs assessments and funder analyses to align potential funding sources with project needs.
--Creation of 'boilerplates' for organizations, to copy and paste into applications. Boilerplates are essential for times you cannot secure a grant writer or you decide to apply in-house.
--Comprehensive management of the grant application process, from narrative development to submission and compliance monitoring.
--Wrote and published two successful medical books.
Engagement and Collaboration:
I thrive in collaborative settings, working closely with organizational leaders, stakeholders, and teams to ensure a unified vision. My approach is highly personalized, adapting to each client's unique needs and sector-specific demands to optimize outcomes.
