I have successfully secured over $10 million in non-dilutive funding since founding Prime Consulting in 2019.

This background equips me to provide unparalleled guidance and support throughout the grant application process. My Services Include: 1. Customized Funding Strategies: I provide expert guidance in identifying and securing the most suitable funding opportunities for your unique needs. Whether you're advancing an existing project or launching a new venture, I tailor my approach to maximize your success. 2. Comprehensive Grant Application Management: My services cover the entire spectrum of grant application processes, from initial submissions to revisions and resubmissions. This includes full project management, meticulous copy-editing, detailed critiques, strategic advisement, and complete development support. 3. Business Plan Writing: I craft compelling business plans that not only support grant applications but also attract investors and stakeholders. My business plans are thorough, well-researched, and designed to present your vision clearly and convincingly. If you're ready to secure your next grant or need assistance with any grant-related matters, connect with me. Let's turn your funding goals into reality.

    Hello! I'm a grant writer, researcher, and program development specialist with a strong background in securing funding for nonprofits. I have successfully helped organizations obtain federal, foundation, and local community grants, leveraging my expertise in fundraising strategies and proposal writing. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Health Education with a concentration in Public Health from Montclair State University and have received specialized training from Rutgers University's Institute of Ethical Leadership, The Foundation Center/Candid, and the Center for Nonprofits. My passion lies in supporting nonprofits that focus on sustainable health programs, homelessness prevention, education initiatives, and equity-driven models for marginalized communities. With a deep commitment to social justice and public health, I craft compelling proposals that align with funders' priorities and drive meaningful impact. ⚠ **Important Note on Grant Funding: While I bring extensive experience in crafting strong proposals, grant funding is highly competitive. Success depends on various factors, including proposal quality, alignment with funder priorities, and available funding. Even well-prepared applications may not receive funding due to competition. I encourage a diverse funding strategy to maximize opportunities and long-term sustainability. Let’s work together to develop strategic, high-quality proposals that strengthen your organization's funding potential!

    I'm an experienced grant writer with over 10 years' experience writing winning proposals for non-profits in and beyond NYC. My experience includes successful proposals to nearly all major NYC foundations: Robin Hood, Charles Hayden, Tiger, Cabrini, and more--and I'm also very comfortable navigating SFS, PassPort, and other submission portals for government grants. What is the upside of hiring me? * I will always be completely honest about whether your project is fundable or not---I'd rather miss out on an opportunity to work, if I knew deep down that our chance of getting the grant was zero. * I don't overpromise in my grant proposals because I care about my clients, their staff, and their reputation in the foundation community. Anyone can win a grant if they set unrealistic targets and promise to impact 100,000 community members on a shoestring budget. We are not going to do that: I will instead work with you to develop realistic (but still competitive) grant goals that you can meet without working your staff to death. * I'm always happy and excited to work with all clients but give priority to those who operate in NYC, because I want to help make an impact in my local home community.
