Grow your nonprofit and fund your programs...

I love to create a compelling story: to gather program information,  testimonials, organizational successes, credentials and financial info and put it all together in a narrative that touches the hearts and minds of potential  donors, clients and partners.  We want to tell the story of how the organization changes lives through both the words and the numbers.  And we want to do it in the right way for each funder!

What I will do for your organization:

Find the right funders (research).
Plan the right contacts and connection with those funders (relationship).
Evaluate the necessary programmatic and budgetary elements (planning).
Write the grant or proposal to fund your program or organization (grant writing).
Build fundraising capacity and set strategic direction.

How we work together

After an initial meeting, we will determine if it makes sense to work with a package of grants to be written, a straight hourly rate, or a range of hours (8-24) per week for a defined period of time in order to offer both high availability and high flexibility.  For one-time or occasional projects, an hourly rate with a maximum billing amount is often the right solution. I am experienced in interim services during transition or planning periods.

I am based in Portland, Oregon where we are fortunate to have vibrant nonprofit and funder communities.  Together, we can change the lives of individuals, communities and the Pacific Northwest.
