You will get Grant Research Package - Custom Spreadsheet of Top Funding Opportunities
Project details
I know how overwhelming it can be to find the right grants when you're already stretched thin running a nonprofit or small organization. That’s why I take the time to really understand your mission, your story, and what you’re trying to accomplish before I start researching.
I don’t just throw a long list of grants at you. I dig in, prioritize the strongest opportunities based on your specific situation, and deliver a clean, organized spreadsheet with clear next steps so you know exactly where to focus.
What sets me apart is that I actually care about the work you’re doing. I’m not just checking boxes or using AI to generate generic results. I take pride in delivering thoughtful, high-quality research that gives you a real advantage. My goal is to build a relationship with you, not just complete one project. I want to help you win funding now and be someone you can come back to as your needs grow.
If you’re looking for someone who will treat your organization like it matters (because it does), I’d love to work with you.

Grant Writer Needed-Nonprofit Youth Services (Phased Short Term Contract)
“I hired Nathan based on how he communicated on Upwork — he exuded confidence and made me believe our project was worth his time. He delivered. Nathan was relentless in finding grants and in-kind donations, communicated frequently, and wasn’t afraid to make recommendations that were best for the organization. He also worked with my stakeholders professionally. I would definitely work with Nathan again when the time comes.”

Working with Nathan has been fantastic! He guided me through the SBA loan process, the California Small Business and Women-Owned Business certification applications, and helped identify grant opportunities that were a great fit for my business. His expertise made an overwhelming process manageable and undoubtedly saved me months of trial and error.

Financial Budget Workbook & Assumptions Development
This is my second time working with Nathan in less than a week, and once again he exceeded every expectation. His attention to detail is exceptional, and the quality of his work is outstanding. He doesn't just complete the assignment—he takes the time to think critically, anticipate questions, and improve the final product in ways I hadn't even considered.
Beyond his technical ability, Nathan brings an incredible level of energy, professionalism, and enthusiasm to every interaction. He's highly responsive, communicates clearly, meets deadlines, and genuinely cares about delivering work of the highest quality.
If you're looking for someone who is analytical, detail-oriented, dependable, and willing to go above and beyond, I couldn't recommend Nathan more highly. I look forward to continuing to work with him in the future.

Business Banking, Credit & Financing Consultant (Nonprofit)
Nathan exceeded every expectation.
We hired him to help develop a complex, seven-figure grant budget on an extremely compressed timeline, and he quickly became much more than a budget consultant. He brought strategic thinking, exceptional attention to detail, and a genuine commitment to the success of our project. He identified inconsistencies we had overlooked, strengthened both the budget and narrative, challenged assumptions in a constructive way, and consistently thought several steps ahead.
What impressed me most was his ability to combine technical expertise with strategic insight. He didn't simply complete the work we assigned he became invested in helping us submit the strongest proposal possible. Throughout the process, he was responsive, collaborative, proactive, and always willing to go the extra mile, including making himself available outside normal hours to ensure we met a critical deadline.
If you're looking for someone who is intelligent, dependable, detail-oriented, and genuinely cares about delivering exceptional work, I recommend Nathan without hesitation. I would absolutely work with him again.

Job Success
Kilauea, United States - 11:58 am local time
In 2025 I've helped my clients submit more than $2.6 million in grants with work spanning affordable housing, vocational training, animal welfare, faith based organizations, business certification, and international fundraising strategy.
I love helping nonprofits I believe in get funding!
I have over 20 years of experience in marketing, storytelling, and business development, including studying Critical Studies of Film and Television at USC, which shapes how I build donor-focused narratives that stand out from generic applications. I now help mission-driven nonprofits across the US and internationally secure funding and successfully implement their projects.
Grant writing is fundraising: I build the case for support, identify the funders and donors most likely to say yes, and turn each win into a repeatable relationship instead of a one-off check.
I'm also building out donor communications and stewardship systems (automated acknowledgment workflows, tiered donor recognition, monthly donor newsletters) for nonprofits who want their grant dollars and individual donors working together.
I specialize in:
-Identifying the right grant opportunities
-Crafting compelling, authentic proposals and LOIs
-Building strong budgets and support documentation
-Post-award reporting and compliance support
-Grant Research, Writing & Full Proposal Development
-Grant Acquisition Packages (flat fee + optional success bonus)
-Post-Award Reporting & Implementation Support
Based in Hawaii, working with nonprofits nationwide and abroad.
Message me your funding need and I'll tell you within a day whether it's a fit and roughly what it'll take.
