I Love my career as a grant writer and fundraiser
In 2007, I launched a grant writing business after a career in the newspaper industry as a sales and marketing executive. Since then, I have secured hundreds of grants raising more than $5 million for client organizations with a 60% funding rate. Working with teams and project managers, I help statewide and community organizations fund programs, operations, and capital projects. My strength is building relationships and developing support from private and corporate foundations. Based in Louisville, Kentucky I have worked with organizations that include:
Kentucky Coalition Against Domestic Violence (KCADV)
Ohio Domestic Violence Network (ODVN)
Maryhurst - residential trauma care for teen girls
Presentation Academy and Louisville Collegiate School
Louisville Visual Art
Ashley/Rountree and Associates
Grant work has given me the opportunity to work with a variety of corporate and family foundations locally and nationally. As a "matchmaker", I help bring together nonprofit organizations that fit the philanthropic goals of foundations. It has been my privilege to work with corporate foundations in the financial sector and national foundations such as the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, the Hearst Foundations, National Endowment for the Arts, and the Rose Foundation for Communities and the Environment (Oakland, CA)
