How I Help Environmental Nonprofits Secure Grant Funding
Based in Seattle and serving clients nationwide, I help take the stress and uncertainty out of the grant application process. Whether you need help with foundation grants, federal conservation funding, or corporate environmental grants, I’ll work with you to:
✓ Assess Your Grant Readiness
Not ready yet? No worries. I’ll help you build the organizational infrastructure funders want to see—from your 501(c)(3) documentation to your project budgets.
✓ Build Your Grant Document Library
Stop reinventing the wheel. I’ll help you create reusable case statements, organizational overviews, and program descriptions so you’re always application-ready.
✓ Identify Relevant Funders & Grants
Environmental grantmaking from U.S. foundations represents about 3.8% of all charitable giving, with opportunities ranging from large foundations to grassroots funding intermediaries. I’ll help you find grants that match your mission—from local community foundations to major conservation funders—plus strategies for building lasting funder relationships.
✓ Write & Submit Winning Grant Proposals
I craft compelling, data-driven proposals that scream “this was made for you!” You focus on protecting Mother Nature; I handle researching funders, writing narratives, creating budgets, and managing deadlines.
What You Get When You Work With Me
✓ Pay Only for What You Need
Project-based pricing means no benefits, no onboarding time, no long-term salary commitment. Just expert grant writing when you need it.
✓ Flexible, Scalable Support
Scale up when you're pursuing major funding opportunities. Taper down during slower grant cycles. Your staff focuses on programs and conservation work while I handle proposal development.
✓ Specialized Environmental Expertise
I understand the outdoor and conservation funding landscape—from National Park Service grants and state fish & wildlife funding to private conservation foundations and corporate environmental programs.
I'm Not Just a Vendor—I'm a Capacity Builder
My goal isn't just to win you grants (though that's definitely the plan). I want to help you build sustainable grant funding practices that continue paying dividends long after each project ends.
Think of me as an extension of your team, helping you develop the systems and relationships that lead to consistent funding.
