No matter the size or nature of the grant, I believe the writing process begins with the question, “How will this project change lives?”
When writing for new clients I want to fully understand their mission and vision, their audience, and their organizational capacity. Having managed dozens of grant-funded projects, I know how important it is to write proposals with realistic, measurable outcomes. My experiences with budgeting and evaluation, as well as my fiction writing skills, have equipped me to write strong, compelling grants.
Successful grant proposals include awards from:
- The Andy Roddick Foundation
- The Topfer Family Foundation
- The KDK-Harman Foundation
- The City of Austin
- National Instruments
