Grant Writing & Fund Raising

Grant Writing
 
I have written grants professionally for almost 25 years.  In 2005, I became a freelance grant writer and fund raiser.  I work with small and mid-sized non-profit organizations in the Connecticut River Valley region of Massachusetts, Connecticut and Vermont.
 
Here is a partial list of grant services that I can provide:
 
  • grant writing                              
  • grant research
  • grants management.
Fund Raising
 
Recently I have been conducting fundraising readiness assessments for small non-profits.  I will meet with the Director of the organization and then the Board of Directors, assess all areas of fund raising and organizational development as they relate to fund raising readiness and write up my findings and recommendations.  This can be particularly helpful to organizations gearing up to raise more money through fundraising, as well as those experiencing a transition due to executive leadership change, program growth or reduction, or board development.
 
I am currently fund raising for the North Amherst Community Farm.  Check out their website by clicking here.
