I have been writing grants for over 20 years and have been in business for over 12 years. I have raised $15.0 million from private and public foundations, government funding, corporate solicitations, service organizations, sponsorships, ad revenue, in-kind professional services and products. I was a Grants Manager at the City of Seattle Matching Grant Fund program where I was a part of a team that made grant awards. I have experience as a Budget Manager at a nonprofit and at a major financial institution managing operating budgets from $5 million to $2 billion.
