I help R&D-intensive SMEs, startups, universities, and research consortia secure EU funding. I've worked on proposals across Horizon Europe, EIC Accelerator, Eurostars, Erasmus+, cascade funding (FSTP) calls, and RIAs.
Where I work:
- Horizon Europe & EIC: full proposal development for deep-tech, AI, AgriTech, green innovation, and health-adjacent projects, including impact sections, TRL logic, work package architecture, and budget construction
- Eurostars: transnational SME-led R&D proposals, including partner matching across eligible countries, market and commercialization sections, and aligning the technical work plan with Eureka's evaluation criteria
- Cascade funding / FSTP calls: fast-turnaround applications to open calls run by Horizon-funded projects (EIT communities, DIHs, innovation actions with third-party funding mechanisms), including fit screening, short-form proposal writing, and pilot/use-case framing
- Erasmus+: consortium coordination across multiple partner projects, including partner sourcing, effort allocation across institutions, budget rebalancing, and narrative alignment when partners have competing priorities
- National & bilateral R&D schemes: eligibility and fit assessments, positioning across overlapping calls
How I work with clients:
- Funding fit assessment: identifying the right call, not just any open one
- Full proposal development: narrative, work packages, impact, budget, partner coordination
- Business planning and commercialization strategy for innovation-track applications (EIC, Eureka)
- Consortium building and partner search
- Letters of Intent, end-user engagement, and early traction evidence
- Resubmission strategy for proposals that scored close to threshold
Additional Services
For organizations whose funding or market-entry strategy depends on how EU rules actually land on the ground, I also provide policy briefs, regulatory analysis, and political-economic risk assessments.
Typical engagements: a one-page brief on how a proposed EU regulation will affect a specific sector, a risk memo for a company entering a regulated market, or a short advisory on how a funding application's impact claims will be read against current policy direction.

Over the past three years, clients I have supported worldwide have collectively been awarded more than $30 million in grant funding from private foundations, corporate giving programs, federal agencies, and international funders.
My work combines grant writing expertise with broader fundraising strategy, which means I do more than just write applications. I help clients identify the right opportunities and investors, build a stronger funding pipeline, sharpen their positioning, and submit competitive proposals that align with funder priorities.
I support clients with:
1. Grant writing and fundraising strategy for startups and companies: Grant funding, PRI, and R&D Tax Credit strategy, startup fundraising support, business grant applications, innovation funding, seed stage funding research, and capital strategy for founders, startups, and growth stage companies.

4. International funding and development opportunities: Support for clients pursuing funding through Horizon Europe, Erasmus+, UN agencies, multilateral institutions, and international development programs.
5. Grant research and funding prospecting: Tailored grant databases, prospect research, funder vetting, eligibility screening, pipeline development, and strategic funding calendars.
6. Proposal development and grants management support: Full proposal writing, editing, narrative development, application structuring, budget coordination, compliance review, attachments support, and submission readiness.
I have worked with clients across the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and emerging markets in Africa and Asia. My sector experience includes technology, healthcare, healthtech, biotech, AI, education, climate, sustainability, community development, workforce development, housing, arts and culture, social impact, and rural development.
Whether you need a grant writer, fundraising consultant, startup funding strategist, or long-term partner to build a reliable funding pipeline, I can help you create a great path to funding.
Let’s build a stronger funding strategy for your startup, business, or nonprofit.

Community impact work should be fundable. Yet many mission-driven organizations struggle to compete for grants — not because their work lacks value, but because their positioning, readiness, and narrative don't yet match how funders evaluate success.
That's where I come in.
I'm Dr. Jeannie Headley, a Grant Strategy and Funding Consultant with 15+ years of experience and over $22 million secured for nonprofits and mission-driven organizations. I work with organizations across community development, health equity, education, arts and humanities, historic preservation, and social services — anywhere the work is important and the funding should reflect that.
Unlike many grant writers, I don't start with a blank document and a deadline. I start with readiness, alignment, and strategy — because strong proposals are built long before the writing begins.
My approach combines deep sector knowledge with an educator's eye for outcomes. I hold an EdD in Organizational Leadership and have spent over a decade as a college professor, which means I understand how funders assess impact, not just narrative quality.
WHAT I HELP WITH
Grant Readiness & Strategy
— Funding readiness assessments
— Program framing and narrative refinement
— Outcomes frameworks and logic models
— 6–12 month funding calendars aligned to your mission
Grant Writing & Proposal Development
— Foundation, state, and federal proposals
— Narrative development, attachments, and compliance review
— Funder alignment checks before submission
Funding Research & Pipeline Development
— Curated, mission-aligned funder identification
— Funder fit analysis (not long, generic lists)
— Sustainable pipelines that reduce burnout and guesswork
Systems & Capacity Building
— Grant tracking systems and internal workflows
— Support for small teams managing complex funding efforts
WHO I WORK BEST WITH
Organizations whose missions center on: community development and economic equity, health equity and social services, education and workforce development, arts, humanities, and civic engagement, and historic preservation and cultural heritage.
If your work creates real community impact and your funding results don't yet reflect that, I'd be glad to explore how we can change that.

I have spent the better part of a decade making sure complex, high-stakes work actually gets done, across project management, operations coordination, bid management, and revenue operations.
I managed RFP and grant workflows end to end, the kind of deadline-driven, detail-heavy work where nothing can slip. I've moved into project management, owning cross-functional coordination, stakeholder communication, CRM management, and process improvement across active accounts. Last quarter alone I coordinated grant and RFP submissions that secured over $1.2 million in funding across multiple clients, and I currently manage several of those engagements through active reporting and compliance deliverables.
Over time that experience has expanded into broader operations support including SOP development, workflow automation, pipeline management, executive support, and virtual assistant work for founders and small teams. I am comfortable working across tools like HubSpot, Notion, Asana, ClickUp, Monday, and Google Workspace, and I can jump into whatever system a team already has running without needing hand-holding.
My background in project coordination and operations management means I think in systems, track what is moving and what is stalled, and take ownership of the execution layer so leadership does not have to chase things down.
If you need a reliable operations manager or project coordinator who works independently, communicates clearly, and keeps everything moving, that is exactly how I work.
