    Get Your Great Ideas Funded! I'm a former funder who has awarded over $160 million in grants. I know what funders are looking for and how to bring your dream idea to life. Before I was a funder, I was an applicant. As a grant recipient and program director, I have received over $3.5m in grants for my own work and $10m for my organizations. I'd love to help you do the same! I love to work with people with Big Ideas who want to tell their story in a compelling way. Sometimes this is getting over the 'blank page' problem and just getting started, sometimes this is finding a new way to describe your work for a particular grant opportunity, and sometimes you just need some extra energy to meet a tight turnaround. Let me help! • I was a Program Director at a major foundation for 8 years and led a team which gave out over $160 million in grants. I know what foundation staff need to see in a winning proposal. • As a social policy researcher at a nationally-known think tank, I conducted dozens of program assessments, including several major evaluations for foundation-led initiatives. I can help you prove your programs work. • I hold a Master's Degree in Education and Program Development. I'll help you: • Conceptualize and describe your program in language that succeeds with funders. • Create smart, effective program design & evaluation plans. • Conduct rapid research to increase your chances of success: literature reviews, surveys and focus groups if needed. • And here's the secret but often missing ingredient: you need a communications plan. Funders want to know that the work they support is going to get out into public awareness and create real change. Expertise & Services I specialize in helping organizations and individuals secure funding for their projects through successful grant proposals. I am committed to providing high-quality, well-researched, and compelling grant applications that effectively communicate the value and impact of the proposed initiatives. 1. Grant Writing: I have experience in crafting grant proposals for various sectors, including nonprofit organizations, educational institutions, and government agencies. I work closely with clients to understand their project goals and develop persuasive grant proposals that align with the requirements and guidelines of funding organizations. 2. Proposal Development: In addition to writing grant proposals, I assist in the development of project proposals and concept notes. By collaborating with clients and understanding their project vision, I help transform ideas into concise and compelling narratives, highlighting the significance and feasibility of the proposed initiatives. 3. Grant Editing and Proofreading: I offer editing and proofreading services to ensure that grant proposals are clear, well-polished, and effectively convey the intended message. 4. Grant Management and Reporting: I can provide guidance and support in managing awarded grants, including preparing timely and accurate progress reports for funders.

    I'm a father, creator, and activist with a deep-rooted commitment to social justice. My journey, marked by both challenges and triumphs, has shaped me into the person I am today. Formerly incarcerated, I successfully advocated for legislative change in California and have since dedicated my life to uplifting marginalized communities. As the co-founder of Re:Store Justice, I've led a team of passionate individuals, secured over $1.75 million in annual funding, and implemented impactful restorative justice programs. Through FIRSTWATCH, I've empowered incarcerated individuals by providing them with filmmaking tools and training. I've also founded Firstwatch Films to further support this initiative and foster creativity behind bars. With a strong belief in the power of storytelling, I've used my voice to raise awareness about systemic issues and inspire others to take action. My experiences have equipped me with a unique perspective and a relentless drive to create positive change.
