I've spent the last decade helping nonprofits, startups, small businesses, filmmakers, and artists secure the funding they need to grow and thrive. Results: Secured over $7 million in grant funding for 150+ clients Maintained a 94% success rate on submitted grant applications Helped first-time grant applicants win funding on their very first attempt What I do: I handle the entire grant process from start to finish — research, proposal writing, editing, and full application submission. My clients don't need to know anything about grants. I do the heavy lifting so they can focus on their mission or creative project. Grant types I specialize in: Federal grants (SAM.gov, Grants.gov, NIH, USDA, EPA) State and local government grants Private and community foundation grants Corporate grants and sponsorships Small business and startup grants Women-owned, Black-owned, and minority business grants Veteran-owned business grants Nonprofit and 501c3 operating grants Film, TV, music, and arts grants Documentary, short film, and animation funding Educational scholarships and PhD funding Key grant wins secured for clients: ScreenCraft Film Fund Panavision Camera Equipment Grant Blu-Sky Artist Award Multiple NIH federal grant approvals Six-figure nonprofit foundation grants State-funded small business relief grants Industries served: Nonprofits | Small businesses | Startups | Filmmakers | Musicians | Visual artists | Theater companies | Educational institutions | Social enterprises | Community programs My approach: I don't use cookie-cutter templates. Every proposal I write is tailored to the client's unique mission, goals, and funder requirements. I take time to understand what makes your project special and translate that into a compelling, data-driven narrative that funders trust. Why clients work with me long-term: Once a client wins their first grant, they almost always come back for the next round. I've worked with some clients for 5+ years, help
