I secure funding and win government contracts for nonprofits, startups, and businesses ready to scale their impact and revenue. Whether you're pursuing competitive grants, responding to complex RFPs, or establishing nonprofit compliance, I transform your capabilities into winning proposals that deliver essential resources and sustainable growth. My Track Record: Over three years, I've secured more than $2.8 million in grant funding and developed proposals for government contracts ranging from $100,000 to $12 million. My clients span energy, healthcare, housing, facility management, public safety, and social services sectors. With 91% Job Success and Top Rated Plus status across 80+ completed projects, I deliver results that matter. What I Do: I craft compelling grant proposals for federal agencies (DOE, NIH, HUD, USDA, SAMHSA), foundations, and corporations. I translate technical innovation and programmatic vision into narratives that align with funder priorities and secure awards. Beyond federal opportunities, I conduct strategic funding research and manage complete application lifecycles from concept through submission. For government contracting, I develop compliance-driven proposals that position you as the contractor of choice. I navigate SAM.gov registration, decode complex RFP/RFQ solicitations, develop technical and management volumes demonstrating capability, create detailed cost proposals, and build comprehensive compliance matrices. My contract experience includes facility management operations worth $11.7 million, digital infrastructure, law enforcement coordination, transportation services, and professional consulting. I also provide complete 501(c)(3) formation services including IRS applications, bylaws development, and state registrations for organizations establishing nonprofit status. What Sets Me Apart: My dual expertise in grant acquisition and government contracting gives you a strategic advantageโ€”I understand how agencies evaluate both programmatic funding and procurement proposals. I bring deep knowledge of federal compliance frameworks including Federal Acquisition Regulation, OMB Uniform Guidance, and agency-specific requirements. This means your proposals meet the technical standards that separate funded projects and awarded contracts from rejected submissions. My Approach: I identify competitive differentiators, anticipate evaluator questions, structure narratives for maximum scoring impact, collaborate to incorporate your expertise, and manage aggressive deadlines without compromising quality. Clients choose me because I deliver proven results, communicate clearly, and understand that behind every application is an organization working to create meaningful change or sustainable growth. Whether you need a grant writer who understands funder priorities, an RFP strategist who can win competitive contracts, or a comprehensive funding consultant who navigates complex opportunities, I bring the technical expertise, strategic insight, and persuasive documentation that transforms organizational capacity into funded programs and awarded contracts.

I am a passionate grant writer and manager who has spent 10+ years writing community-based funding applications, evaluating hundreds of RFP responses applying for government funds, and managing over $300 million in grant-funded programs. I have generated over $10 million in funds for economic development, EPA Brownfields activities, housing and homelessness services, workforce development, rural development, operating costs, COVID-19 response programs, veteran services, data collection and evaluation, equity analysis, and youth supports. I have reviewed over 500 state and federal grant applications and know first-hand what drives funders to award or deny applications. I will use my deep knowledge of the grant lifecycle to produce exceptional technical grant applications, provide competitive and compliant guidance for private and government funding sources, and win grants that create meaningful shifts for customer agencies. I can offer: - Grant Writing Services: I can write grant applications for opportunities that you have found or research grants for which you could be competitive. If I research the grants, I will present you with all funding opportunities and will write any and all applications you want support with. - Grant Management Services: I can compile and organize financial records for payment requests across multiple funding streams. I can also generate and submit reports, and evaluate data-driven outcomes for projecting future needs, costs, etc. I will provide regular updates about the grant to all relevant staff via email, video meetings, phone calls, or other requested communication mechanisms. - 1:1 Grant Consulting: Are you unsure about the requirements of federal or state grants? Want directions from an expert on where to begin or feedback on your grant application before you submit? I am happy to provide one-on-one consulting to give you a tailored and personalized road map to grant writing and management. This service requires you to answer a few questions before we meet and includes up to five virtual sessions.
